Full Renovation on 3 flats (Montpelier)

  • 26 Jun 2020

Background:
This 3 storey mid-terraced property was already configured as 3 x 1 bedroom flats with an existing HMO license. The flats were tired and neglected and in desperate need of upgrading and modernisation.
 
Scope of Work:
The works began by removing the existing bathrooms and kitchens and removing all existing woodchip wallpaper. A full painting redecoration throughout, replacement of UPVC doors, new kitchens, and new bathrooms in each flat and construction of fitted wardrobes and cupboards followed.
Our works concluded with the installation of new carpets and flooring followed by installation of new furniture and fixtures.

Single Storey Extension (Woodcote Green)

  • 26 Jun 2020

Background:
This customer had contacted us after recommendation from a friend whom we had also constructed an extension and kitchen knock-through.
 
Scope of Work:
We built the extension from blockwork & finished externally with a smooth render. The roof was then constructed with the inclusion of 3 large Velux windows.
The owners of this property designed a combination of vaulted ceiling with velux windows and the addition of 4m bi-fold doors to really get light in.
We removed all existing ceilings to enable major plumbing and electrical modifications to be performed before re-boarding and skimming all affected walls and ceilings.
Our works were then completed after levelling the flooring between the old and new and installing the kitchen and utility units followed by skirting and other carpentry modifications.
