East Lodge Side Extension Refurbishment
Restoring spaces with precision and care, from damage to perfection.
When a loft leak caused significant damage to the side extension of East Lodge, our team stepped in to deliver a complete refurbishment, ensuring the space was restored to its former glory.
Project Overview:
The project began with a full strip-out of the affected area, including:
- Removing carpets, floorboards, and ceilings.
- Hacking off walls down to the brick.
- Removing mouldings such as architraves, skirtings, and service boxing.
- Conducting a complete electrical rewire.
Once the damaged materials were removed, we focused on moisture extraction to prepare the space for restoration.
Restoration Process:
Our team meticulously carried out the following steps:
- Dry lining, bonding, and plastering to create a smooth, durable finish.
- Installing new loft insulation to improve energy efficiency.
- Upgrading the consumer unit and installing new electrics in the affected area.
Finishing Touches:
To complete the transformation, we focused on the finer details:
- Decorating the walls and ceiling to match the original aesthetic.
- Restoring woodwork with a high-quality wax finish for a polished look.
The result? A fully restored and functional side extension that not only looks stunning but is built to last.
