Living Room Floor Tiling Making a Feature of the Floor

This living room wasn’t your standard square room, with multiple angles, large openings and plenty of cuts required to keep everything flowing correctly. Jobs like this take careful planning and attention to detail to ensure the layout works from every angle.

For this project, large-format Turano Calacatta porcelain tiles were installed throughout the space, creating a bright, modern finish that complements the open-plan layout perfectly. The marble-effect pattern and clean lines help maximise the feeling of space while adding a touch of luxury.

Sometimes the most challenging layouts produce the best results, and this floor is a great example of that. The extra time spent setting out and planning has paid off with a finish that looks clean, balanced and flows beautifully through the room.

A lot of cutting, a lot of measuring, but definitely worth it in the end.

Consumer Unit Upgrade –Modern Protection Throughout the Property

This property had a large number of existing circuits, meaning a standard single consumer unit wasn’t suitable. To ensure the installation remained safe, compliant and easy to manage, we installed two new consumer units along with upgraded protection devices throughout.

Works carried out included:

- Removal of the existing fuse board arrangement
- Installation of two new consumer units
- Reorganisation and identification of all existing circuits
- Installation of modern RCBO protection for improved fault detection
- Installation of Type 2 Surge Protection Devices (SPD) to help protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage surges
- Full testing, inspection and certification of the installation
- Improved safety, reliability and future capacity

With more electronics and smart devices in homes than ever before, surge protection is becoming an important part of modern electrical installations. Combined with RCBO protection, this setup provides a much higher level of protection than older fuse board systems.

A tidy upgrade that brings the installation up to modern standards and provides peace of mind for years to come.

First floor progress on the Kirby Muxloe refurbishment project

This phase of the build focused on transforming the new upper floor space into two additional bedrooms and a new bathroom as part of the extension and full property reconfiguration.

Access into the new section was created by knocking through from the original stair window area of the existing house, connecting the old and new parts of the property together.

Our works on this stage included:

-Stud partitioning to form the new rooms
- Full plastering and boarding works
- Rewire and first fix electrics throughout
- Pipework installation ready for the bathroom contractor
- Pre-boarding service walls ready for bathroom fit out
- New fire door installation due to the property now becoming a three-storey home

Everything now ready for client decoration and second fix woodwork before the final finishes go in

Big transformation from where this extension originally started after being left unfinished for years.

Loft conversion stage still to come as the final part of the project

Part of a larger refurbishment project in Kirby Muxloe, with plenty more posts still to come 👀

The property had a double storey side extension built by a previous builder, but after being left unfinished and only watertight, it sat bare brick for over 6 years without being knocked through into the main house.

The client finally decided enough was enough and wanted to start making the space feel part of the home again.

Starting with the front porch / entrance area the bare brick internally had become an eyesore, so we transformed the space by:

- Overboarding the existing ceiling
- Dot & dab boarding the walls
- Full skim finish ready for decoration

The front door arch detail was a bit tedious to get right, but definitely worth the effort for the finished result

Small changes can make a massive difference to how a home feels. More to come on this project

Bathroom transformation completed 🚿

Bath removed due to ongoing leaks and repiped where required to put things right from the start.

New spotlighting and extractor fan installed to improve lighting and ventilation.

Shower cubicle and enclosure fitted with a new mixer shower for a clean, modern setup.

Wet areas fully tiled, including cills, with half tiling throughout the rest of the room to keep it practical and cost-effective.

Finished off with LVT flooring, new toilet, wall-hung vanity unit, LED mirror, and a designer radiator to bring it all together.

From problem to a fresh, functional space ready to be used

Bungalow refurbishment ready for resale

Property was left empty and unfortunately suffered water damage after a failed ball valve in the loft caused the header tank to overflow.

First step was drying the property out properly using dehumidifiers to extract all moisture.

All damaged surfaces and floor coverings removed, followed by full redecoration and new flooring throughout to bring the property back to a clean, market-ready standard.

From problem to potential now ready for its next owner

Bathroom plastering

Ceiling overboarded and fully skimmed to create a clean, fresh finish.

The original walls were in a rough state after stripping the wallpaper back.

Working around existing tiles, with half-tiled walls and a fully tiled shower area, making sure all transitions are clean and ready for the final finish.

Sometimes it’s not about starting fresh…
it’s about putting right what’s already there
