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 😎

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 🤩

Some storage space built in the odd shape left from the roof.
This was all built from scratch and painted.
The previous storage was fine but didn’t have any drawers, so items were lost at the back. It now has 6 drawers, 2 pull out hangers.
The openings were a last minute change of plan, I’ll return to make them shelves with some nice oak on top to match the doors.

Some decorating done to a small downstairs toilet room and living room ceiling.

This property owned by the National Trust had some plumbing fail and leaked onto the ceiling below. The plumbing for the waste pipe for the basin had been leaking for ages, it was fixed and I was asked in to make it good again.

It’s hard to see the walls of the toilet room, if you zoom in, you’ll see they were in a terrible condition.
It’s all smooth and freshly painted, even scrubbed the quarry tiles.

A few extras done at the property, loose shelves and toilet roll holder repaired in the bathroom.
This was a pain as the walls are so fragile!

Also the front doors handle kept falling off, it was the wrong design of handle for the ‘rim lock’, it’s now working fine!

Another Trust tenant looked after 😎
