Work in Progress — West London

Here's a peek into another flat we are refurbishing. A family of three recently acquired this 2-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom mansion block apartment in West London. Our builders are in the midst of a full refurbishment. In addition to the usual plastering and decorating throughout the property, we're also removing a structural wall in the reception room, adding built-in wardrobes in the reception and bedrooms, building sliding doors and cupboards, installing a brand new kitchen, reconfiguring the bathrooms (including the addition of a wet room) and adding underfloor heating.

Work in progress:

1) Complete refurbishment of the bathrooms. If you look closely at the floor of this bathroom, you'll even notice evidence of the underfloor heating we recently fitted in this bathroom. 

2) Customised, built-in wardrobes. We'll be building and fitting a wardrobe just behind the door. Perfect use of otherwise dead space. 

3) Removal of the former kitchen, install of the new kitchen to occur shortly.  

4) Pre-decoration of the hallway, leading down to the kitchen

5) The reception room, where we've recently removed a structural wall, and nearly doubled the size of the open living space. Bespoke built-in bookshelves will be added to both sides of the fireplace. 

Work in Progress — Maida Vale

Our builders are working on a number of exciting projects throughout West London. Over the next few weeks, we will update the blog with work-in-progress photos. This week, we feature a three-bedroom mansion block flat in Maida Vale.

Our builders constructed four built-in cupboards, including two full height cupboards with drawers and sliding doors. We painted and decorated through the flat, and laid a new subfloor to prevent creaking floorboards and to reduce the noise factor for neighbours below. We also re-plastered the hallway of the flat, creating a smooth finish along the walls. 

Of course, there's still more work to be completed, but the property is shaping up to be a lovely family home...
