Full re-roof, old tiles to new

Renovations and alterations

Renovation

Wall opened up between two rooms

An arched doorway between two rooms was opened up into a wide opening. The brickwork was taken out, a steel beam was put in to carry the wall above, and the new opening was plastered.

Air bricks replaced and new drainage

The space under the floor of this house wasn't getting enough air, which was causing damp and bad smells.

  • 21 air bricks replaced
  • ACO drainage channel installed across the front of the property, so rainwater runs straight into the gully
