Property maintenance and Renovations

16/06/2026

Here we have a beautiful and fresh bathroom designed by the client.
Happily built by us.

They choose all brass fittings with wooden furniture. The hexagon floor and green metro wall tiles. As you can see it it turned out great 😎

We stripped the room and found pooling water under the floor. A few days extra to fully rebuild the insulated sub floor and we had a new base to build up from.

The room next door used to be home to a single toilet and basin. The walls had bright red wallpaper(forgot to take a before picture) and carpet tiles.
That all came out, the plumbing for the bathroom went in there and we decorated the room and added a starting shelf for more future storage.

We did everything apart from the electrics.
There’s now electric underfloor heating, a new shower pump and full size towel radiator, plenty of prep involved to get everything to marry up.

Here’s to many years of happy showering 🥳

Been a while, we’ve been working hard.

Here we have a rubber roof that started to leak in a couple places😖

It looks like it would have been a tricky roof to install with all the various changes in heights and odd shapes to follow.

-We took the old roof off and disposed of it.

-Created a singular flat platform and added a gutter instead of relying on a single drain outlet.

-We favoured using a cold deck system as adding a non permeable layer below wasn’t feasible. This allows the roof to breath and prevents it rotting from moisture from below.

-New tinted sky light to keep the light into the ally way below.

-New white trim to tie in with the house’s current white fascia/soffits and gutters.

Many years of stress free in the all the rain we can have ☔️ 😎

Some fascia and soffits capped.

The original soffits were made from asbestos cement boards.
It was the most cost effective solution to cap the soffit. We hoovered, sealed the soffit and glued the new upvc tongue & groove soffit to avoid any disturbance to the asbestos.
We taped the windows that struggled to close to avoid any dust entering the flat.

We capped the original wooden fascia board and installed new gutters.

A fresh bead of silicone all round and it’s looking brand new, it will be dramatically easier to maintain, just cleaning, no more painting.

The client is pleased to have a fresh and safer surface to deal with.

The windows are being replaced in August, you’ll need shades to look at it in the sun 😎

We boxed in some boilers.
Supplied and fitted some ikea cabinets to cover these boilers.

The client is pleased as they are trying to sell their house and now these 2 boilers and the various cables and pipes are now hidden.

Hung some timber wall panels.

-We scribed the panels around the TV mount, glued and screwed the panels to walls.
-Light and socket switches were extended forward.
-Rehung the cabinet below the TV.

Took some doing to get everything nice and tight.

The clients are thrilled to have this done, it’s been a project of theirs for some time.

Fascia and soffit replaced

-Scraped the moss off the roof,
-Had all of the original timber fascia off and took it away,
-Found a leak and solved it,
-Took the bottom rows of tiles off,
-Installed eves trays and some extra membrane,
-Cut to size and fitted the new upvc fascia and vented soffit,
-Added a new black gutter to help prevent the base of the wall from getting wet from the tile run off.

Another happy client 😁

From tiled to Lino.
I forgot to take before pictures 🙄

-Took doors and sections of the kitchen apart,
-Took the oven and appliances out,
-Removed the tiled floor,
-Primed the floors and poured self levelling compound,
-Laid the new Lino floor,
-Sealed the edges,
-Put the kitchen back together,
-Fitted the appliances and tested them.

Happy tenants, the Lino is warmer under foot as it’s about 6mm of rubber.

Here we have a garden room for the National Trust where the ‘Onduline’ corrugated roof panels had completely failed and sunk where it didn’t have enough support.

-Took the old roof off and took away,
-Fitted insulation,
-Boarded the roof with a 50mm gap beneath to allow moisture to vent,
-Installed eves trays and breather membrane,
-Installed the new Onduline sheets,
-Created new fascia boards with vents.

Tenants are happy to have their garden room not leak anymore.
Another 20-30 years of a dry building.

This old bathroom was very difficult to clean, the toilet constantly overflowed. That water was channeled to the outside wall and in turn soaked the external walls.
Working on the concealed toilet was almost impossible, access couldn’t be made, the basin was also cracked.
Time for an update!

New units, basin and plumbing the whole way through.
New shelves and storage space in a small room.

Tenants are thrilled 🤩

The soffit had rotted away due to the guttering pulling away from the fascia, this then poured water backwards into the garage.

-Cut out the rotten timber and replaced,
-Cleaned, sanded and triple coated the fascia and soffit,
-Fitted quadrant trim to the soffit where it meets the brick to close any previous gaps,
-Fitted quadrant trim to help hold up the soffit where it meets the back of the fascia boards,
-Replaced the guttering for new.

Another piece of property repaired to last many more years.
