π¨ End of Week Progress Update π¨
Another massive week completed on this full renovation project, with some huge structural milestones achieved this week πͺπ‘
From the very beginning, safety and preparation were key. The roof structure and surrounding areas of the house were fully supported before any demolition works began, allowing us to safely remove the existing supporting walls and both chimney structures without movement or damage to the property ποΈ
β
Full temporary supports installed to safely carry the roof and upper floor loads while structural alterations were carried out.
β
Existing supporting walls and chimneys carefully removed to completely open up the downstairs living space and create a much brighter open-plan layout π¨
β
New structural steel beam successfully installed exactly as specified by the structural engineerβs drawings, πͺ
β
Licensed asbestos removal completed to the ceiling areas prior to continuing internal works, ensuring the site remained safe and compliant throughout β οΈ
β
Rotten and damaged kitchen flooring fully stripped out, including removal of the old failing timbers.
β
Brand new floor joists installed throughout the kitchen area, followed by 18mm plywood flooring fitted over the top to create a strong and level base ready for the next stages π§
β
Ceilings were counter battened throughout to provide additional strength.
β
First fix electrics now fully installed and in position, ready for the next phase of the renovation β‘
β
All walls and ceilings fully plasterboarded, with the newly installed steel beam fire boarded to meet current building regulations π₯
β
Both rooms fully plastered throughout and now completely transformed, leaving everything smooth and ready for second fix and finishing works π
Monday weβll be back on site laying the final finish ply flooring in preparation for the new kitchen installation and finished flooring ππ½
The transformation over the last week has been incredible, and the project is really starting to take shape now π β¨
I could not have done it without my team behind me! A big thanks to for fitting us in!
