“Coming Soon”
Mr and Mrs McMillan brought their new family home with the intention of completely renovating it from top to bottom. This was to include, new windows, a loft conversion with a big master bedroom and en-suite, and a single storey extension to the rear of the house. We completely re-wired all the electrics in the house and installed a brand new heating system with brand new pipes and radiators throughout, including a boiler and megaflow. Other than the structural walls and floors this was a brand new house.
As it was such a big job it was built in stages starting with the loft conversion. This required a temporary roof as it was a double hip to gable conversion so most of the roof had to be taken off. We re-used the original roof tiles to help save the customer money. We also painted the entire loft ready for them to carpet and move up.
The next stage was to start the extension and renovation of the entire house. While the groundwork and brickwork was being done outside we renovated the first floor so the customer could have back the whole up stairs of their house, so then we could carry on while they still live there. This was very convenient for them as they had 4 children and moving out temporarily would be difficult. The works included re plastering every wall and ceiling and replacing all the skirtings, architraves and doors, and re-tiling with new suites to 2 bathrooms.
The new extension was then ready to receive its new roof which consisted of 4 big velux windows for extra light into the new kitchen. The downstairs was a horseshoe type open plan design and again, everything was completely re-newed. Bi-folding doors lead out to the garden which we have landscaped for the customer as they didn’t like the fact their garden had a huge slope from left to right, so while the digger was there digging the footings they asked us to level out the garden, ready for top soil and turf, which they would do later on, and build a retaining wall for a patio, which they would do later on.
