Radford Construction Services Limited

We were renovating the old farmhouse which the client had acquired to turn into a bespoke wedding venue. Two months into the build whilst inspecting the loft area with the client and architect we all realised the potential to extend into this area and provide a bespoke bridal suite and vast bathroom. The client's brief was that it was to be luxurious and unique.

The structure was initially an old cow byre in the grounds of the customers parents’ home. About 12 years ago we turned it into a small open plan studio for them to give her some privacy. The customer got in touch to advise that she was now married and had a new baby and was in dire need of additional space, as a small studio was not practical. She did not want to move so had obtained planning permission for a small extension to the byre, however it fell under conservation remit.

We took the basic plan and designed a new build & layout to accommodate all her requests. Boot room/toilet, living space and kitchen downstairs and 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.

We turned our client’s vision into reality, with the transformation of a former horse riding arena into a wedding chapel complete with reception, bar,  kitchen, dressing rooms and garden - all within a six-month deadline and while the hotel on site remained open. This resulted in a unique wedding venue to take 200 plus guests which has received fantastic reviews and is booked years in advance.

Radford Construction Services converted this old stable block into luxury, individually designed guest suites for the local South Causey Inn hotel. This even included a treehouse room, incorporating a living tree and a ‘shed bed’ made of hand-picked silver birch. The unique nature of these rooms required lots of different skills to be utilised for the finishes. Lots of reclaimed materials were used for the bespoke design. This project was awarded best Commercial Project at the FMB Northern Counties Master Builder Awards 2017.

We performed the complete conversion and fit-out of this original 1966 Routemaster bus, turning it into a bespoke luxury hotel room complete with a luxurious bathroom. This required us to completely strip the interior and resolve the condensation due to the metal structure of the bus. Templates were made for all the new fittings and the roof and side panels had to be removable to enable fixing for plumbing and electrics. The design aimed to maximise the confined space and enable reinstatement of the original bus. Our work on this project won us best Small Renovation Project at the FMB Northern Counties Master Builder Awards 2017.
