Kitchen Re-Design in Brizlincote Valley

Project Overview:

Client contacted me regarding the redesign of a new kitchen. They expressed their desire to remove a load-bearing wall in order to merge two separate rooms into one and create additional space for an open plan kitchen diner. The client requested that the project be completed within a timeframe of less than 5 weeks, if feasible. Additionally, the installation of new electrical wiring and plumbing was deemed necessary.

Consultation and Planning:

 

Consultation and planning ensued. The client provided a plan, which served as a basis for my work. After a meticulous examination of the plan, we reached an agreement on the budget, and the client accepted the estimate.

First steps:

 

The initial phase commenced with the removal of all previous kitchen cupboards, plasterboards, and any required structures. Subsequently, we fortified the structural integrity of the house by utilizing acro props. This precautionary measure aimed to support the floor joists and prevent the building from collapsing during the construction process.

Once this stage was completed, we demolished the load-bearing wall and installed a steel beam to sustain the floor joists. In addition, we arranged for a building regulations officer to inspect the pad stones and assess the dimensions of the steel beam

Upon receiving approval from the building regulations officer, we proceeded with the installation of new plumbing and electrical wiring. All electrical work was executed by a qualified professional, adhering to the prevailing building regulations.

Following the completion of the electrical and plumbing tasks, we proceeded to install new walls, plasterboard, and ceilings. Subsequently, we skillfully skimmed the newly fitted walls and installed new floor tiles.

The client independently selected an external joiner to install their chosen kitchen, which was perfectly acceptable to us.

In conclusion, we successfully completed the project in a span of 4 weeks, surpassing our initial expectations, and the client expressed their utmost satisfaction.
