There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a family's vision become reality.
Over four months, we transformed the ground floor of this beautiful 100-year-old home by creating a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space designed for modern family life and entertaining.
The project included:
• Structural alterations with new steel beams
• Complete kitchen installation
• Underfloor heating
• Refurbishment of the music room
• Downstairs cloakroom upgrade
• New energy-efficient windows
• Full electrical, plumbing and carpentry works
The family remained living in the property throughout the renovation, so careful planning, clear communication and respect for their home were essential from day one.
The feedback from our clients made the whole project worthwhile:
"An amazingly nice team – polite and considerate."
And our favourite comment:
"Mark told us that by the end of the project we'd say 'Elivate are our builders' – and that's exactly how we feel. We'd definitely recommend Elivate and use them again ourselves."
A huge thank you to everyone involved, including interior designer Fanni Bickell, whose design helped create such an incredible family space.
If you're considering renovating your home, we'd be delighted to discuss your ideas.
