🏡🔨 Our Big Renovation is Flying Along! 🔨🏡

What a difference a few weeks can make. We’re absolutely delighted with the progress being made on this amazing renovation project, and it’s all down to the hard work of some fantastic trades.

✔️ All first-fix electrics completed thanks to JL electrical ⚡

✔️ All upstairs plastering completed 👌

✔️ All first-fix plumbing completed thanks to MD Engineering Services 🚿

✔️ Downstairs stonework completed by our own lads 🪨

✔️ New windows fitted throughout

✔️ All downstairs studwork completed

✔️ Ceilings battened out and plasterboarded, ready for the next phase of plastering

And to top it all off, we’ve even managed to get the decorators upstairs applying the mist coat a full week ahead of schedule 🎨💪

Massive thanks to everyone involved so far. This project has required a huge team effort, and it’s great to see everything coming together exactly as planned.

As promised… if everyone keeps us on programme and we continue hitting our targets, we’ll all be booking that company skydive! 🪂😂

Loads more progress to come over the next few weeks as this incredible property continues its transformation.

Back to the boss’s roots this week… sandstone work 🪨🔨

Sorting, facing, prepping and building with random sandstone — just like being a teenager again…
only now with the knees of a pensioner 😂

If there’s any builders looking for a bit of gap-filling work, more than welcome to jump in 💪

Also on site this week:
✔️ Floor prep underway ready for underfloor heating
✔️ Big renovation right where it needs to be at this stage

Happy clients, happy lads… and a happy (but broken) boss 😅

Great progress across a few of our projects this week! 🔨🏡

On one job:
✔️ Kitchen installed — and it’s looking spot on 👌
✔️ Floors down in the kitchen and hallway
✔️ Doors trimmed and re-hung
✔️ Bathroom underway (photos to follow 👀)

We’ve also been testing out some new GRP roofing on a small flat roof — could this be the next system we roll out on more of our jobs? 🤔

⸻

Meanwhile, over on our big renovation:

✔️ Roof works progressing well
✔️ Final walls coming out
✔️ Sandstone walls and piers started this week
✔️ Another staircase removed and opening covered over

All in preparation for what’s going to be a serious feature staircase install 👌

This project is really starting to come together now — loads more to come 💪
