Before wall removed
New bathroom

This is one I'm particularly proud of. From a long narrow kitchen/dining room to a media room, new shower room and new bedroom.

And.....

in the open plan living room, we removed the back wall and an en-suite,  blocked up two doors, re-plastered and fitted a new kitchen and shower room (both designed by me)

And.....

seamlessly laid a new laminate floor throughout with no joins or thresholds.

And.....

converted a cloak room to a utility cupboard with venting for the tumble dryer before decorating throughout.
