Description: We started planning this bathroom for our client two years ago. By removing the old system boiler andd hot water cylinder from the airing cupboard in the bathroom and relocating the boiler from the kitchen to the loft we were able to expand the bathroom giving us enough room to install a seperate shower area. The owner also decided that she wanted a wet room instead of a shower stall so that’s what we built for her. continue

Description: This kitchen was being made over by the homeowner and his son, a qualified joiner. They started the kitchen with good intentions but ran into issues straight away with the gas. A punctured gas pipe was sorted by National Grid but they sought extra help after that. We came in and after a look decided on the course of action. Gut the kitchen and start again! continue

Description: Our client wanted to replace an old combi boiler which had died a long and painful death. The old boiler was located under a stairway and not a good location for ongoing maintenance. The home owners wanted it relocated further down the wall towards the kitchen. The boiler was also set at a height that would be easy to hide in a cupboard when the kitchen gets remodeled next year. continue

Description: We visited this flat when the previous tenants (original article here) flooded the property by installing their own dishwasher improperly. Unfortunately the landlord did not take up the floor at the time as suggested. The moisture stayed in the floor trapped between the foam underlay and the 3/4 inch wood flooring causing mold issues between the floors and a really bad smell. continue

Description: We were asked to undertake a mechanical pre-purchase inspection on this semi-detached bungalow. The heating central system was a mix of old and new, the plumbing was in poor shape and the electrics were well past their ‘best before date.’ We recommended a full re-wire and although the boiler was not very old we suggested a power flush and the old radiators replaced. continue
