How are we people

I've been rather distracted with a lot behind the scenes, so many photos of jobs we've completed that I haven't had much time to post.
As well as a few family bereavements, that have hit me hard.
But, we move on as we always do.

It's always a pleasure to work alongside our friends at .

So, we were asked if we would be able to rebuild a single skin garden wall in Sonning last week.
And as it was an emergency, we were only too pleased to help.
And, it was the first proper bit of brickwork we've done in a while, as we've been doing other trades, being a complete building service.

The new wall with LBC Heathers (albeit, they were fairly wet) all done in less than a day, thanks to my mate of .brickwork.buildingservices for being able to come and give me a hand.

The clients were more than happy with the wall rebuild, to which that they will be asking us to do their brickwork in the future.

Just to say, so I don't have to keep replying the same thing to everyone.
We were asked to rebuild the wall, like for like. Yes we would have wanted to build a couple more piers. But when you're asked to just build like for like, you build it to the clients recommendations.

A garden transformation, we completed at the back end of the summer.

A beautiful kandla grey porcelain patio, with a block and render wall, to help keep the garden looking light and fresh.
New artificial grass, because, well, every garden needs some green.
And the contrast of the Venetian style fencing helps bring all of this together.

This was a real labour of love, even with some obstacles we had to overcome, and the clients testimony pays homage to the graft we put in.

A big thank you to for sorting out the rendering on the walls, always a pleasure chaps.
And to for supplying the porcelain. Top grade porcelain, extremely tough, and delivered on time.

Plastering done, the new goes in. Creating a new garage conversion has allowed our clients to have a much bigger spacious kitchen with a lot more storage, and gadgets 😉.
A beautiful streamlined and light colour kitchen, to help give a more spacious feel.

Big thanks to for the installation, always a top quality job.

How much better does this make to the front of the house and dormer.
Dated tile hanging removed and new Monterey taupe Hardie plank fitted.
Looks absolutely fantastic next to the new windows and door, marries in exceptional well, wouldn't you agree.

Thanks to for helping us out with the cladding, done a great job as usual.
And a big shout out to for the scaffolding.

Knocking down walls and building new ones.

With the steels all in and bolted, time to demolish the block walls, and build the new stud walls and reinforcing the rafters for the garage conversion in Barkham.
Fully insulated using the Actis Hybris and Actis H control, which by far much easier to cut and install than insulation board. It also gives you a much better U value than insulation boards.

With the insulation done, it's time for our sparkies to do what they do best, then on to the plasterboarding.

I have to apologise for the lack of posts I have put up.
It's been a difficult couple of months for myself personally.
But, I'm back to it.
Photos of the Barkham job installing the new beams for the bifold door openings. And new steel work to carry the roof to create a vaulted ceiling, thanks as always to .beams

Continued

Once the new walls were up, insulated, plasterboard, and plastered, we then had our plumber and tiler in to finish off the shower room. Such a transformation.

New bigger tiles, smaller grout joints and new sanitaryware made this look and feel more sleek and warmer.

A big thank you to our mates at for fitting in to their busy schedule. You're a top man Del.

Another thank you to Josh at for the carpentry work.

A very happy client at the end of it all.
Endured a lot of stress, sleepless nights, and a climbing energy bill no thanks to the original builder.

So, we were asked to complete a shower room and utility refurbishment, as the previous builder hadn't done a very good job.
Not only did they build a block wall on top of screed, on top of insulation board, but they also had a steel beam on top of it.
The rooms were so cold and draughty during the winter months, the clients rarely would go in, even having to put a draught excluder under the door.

As soon as we got stuck in, taking the tiles off the walls and floor, we starting to see why it was so cold. There was no insulation in the cavity, and the wall separating the garage and shower room was just a single skin block wall and didn't have any insulation at all.
So, we had a discussion with the client and agreed to remove the block wall to the external wall and build a stud wall in its place, and then insulating it using Actis Hybris and Actis H control, before plasterboarding. Repeating this on the garage wall.
The existing floor was broken up and a new floor put down, with new insulation, and then new floor boards.

A new steel post to support the beam was installed, bolted and fixed with resin.
