Loft extensions in South London

by admin on September 7th, 2012

 

When space is at a premium, a loft conversion is the ideal answer to extending the living space of your home. There is much potential in using space that already exists within a house.

 

South London Refurbishments provide first class loft conversion work in the South London region, covering most areas within it such as Clapham, Fulham, Chelsea.

 

A loft conversion can greatly add value to your property, so if moving up the ladder or development takes your fancy, a loft conversion can be the answer. The ability to build new housing in a city like London is becoming more and more limited. House prices, convenience of travel to work and schools may have to be balanced against the needs of a growing family and so the decision to stay where you are and have a loft conversion to give you that extra space may be the most logical and financially prudent alternative to moving house.

 

It doesn’t matter what your property is, a semi detached, a town house, detached, if you have a suitable loft space and want to maximise on the size and value of your home, then South London Refurbishments can provide the full service for you.

 

Did you know that, within certain limits, you may not even need planning permission as the recently introduced “Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (No. 2) (England) Order 2008” has cut the red tape on a range of standard domestic building projects?

Utilising your cellar, another job finished in Clapham, South London, SW11

by admin on September 6th, 2012

In Clapham Junction, South London, SW11, South London Refurbishments Ltd turned an unusable cellar space into a utility room. We removed flooring and investigated the foundation as to how much we can go down to give enough headroom without undermining any existing structure or having to excavate the basement and incurring high costs.  We gained 10-12 inches allowing us to have decent headroom and to use the space as a utility/storage room.  If you have a cellar where there is a potential of turning it to a useable space, there is always a way to turn that room to a useable space for cost effectively.

Replacing roof tiles in Clapham Common, South London, SW12

by admin on September 6th, 2012

The weather is not kind to us and when you have a leaky roof it can cause a lot of damage and cost a substantial amount of money.  South London Refurbishments is taking on a project in Clapham Common, where patch repairs have been carried out previously but once a roof has a leak it is sometimes hard to pinpoint where exactly the water penetrates into the property.  We have to remove the roof tiles in its entirety, including ridge tiles, checking the felt and batten underneath for any defects.  We will also be checking the lead flashing, fascia, soffits, gutters and rectify the issues where needed.  We will be fitting new Slate tiles and ridge tiles and then re-fixing all lead and flashing. It goes without saying all rubbish is removed from site and we will carry out a water test on the new roof.

Extension works completed in Dulwich, South East London, SE22

by admin on June 29th, 2012

Semi-detached house in Dulwich, SE22 needed extension work, roof repaired with dome lights

 

South London Refurbishments were called in to a property where the extension work had already commenced but the existing builder had not finished the project and left the property unsafe.  There was no adequate foundation and roof was constructed in an unprofessional manner where drainage was unacceptable and the overall job was very poor quality.

 

After liaising with our structural engineer, we needed to support the entire back of the house in the first instance and we needed to underpin the back of the house.  The steel work was not adequately fitted which we needed to rectify in the first instance. We had to take the roof off in its entirety and fitted new roof with  dome roof lights.  The concrete floor needed to come up as there was no drainage to the property, reconcrete the new extension in its entirety.

 

We carried out the relevant electrical and plumbing work to the extension. Once the building was safe and all remedial works carried out we decorated the property to a high standard, fitted oak flooring and skirtings.  At the end of the project, we landscaped the garden and tidied up the shed adjacent to the house.  Client has been abroad since the project commenced due to work commitment and we updated the client regularly in relation to the progress of the project.
