Plaster Wall Restoration
Very heavy looking conduit was mistakenly put above skirting boards & around a doorway architrave.
Unfortunately, when removed, much of the plaster came off due to the poor condition of the walls.
Once removed, the area was carefully restored.

Custom Handrail Installation
An elderly client required hand rails fitted along a corridor and down stairs for her husband in a 2 storey terrace.
These were purchased raw, stained, lacquered and fitted with specially sourced bronze brackets (matching ones which were 4o years old).
​
These railings are so important for mobility as people grow older, allowing them to maintain independence.
Restore Architrave
Many architraves around doors in older style homes have narrow light switches embedded in the wood detail.
Sometimes people choose to put in a larger style switch on the wall, leaving an unsightly hole as seen below.
Simple Kitchen Makeover
This kitchen was rather scuffed and damaged, requiring a simple cost effective face-lift.
It required painting and all knobs were replaced to give it a clean-fresh look.

Kitchen Bench Rejuvenation

The grout was carefully removed and replaced with new.
The silicone around the bath was also removed and replaced with white silicone.
The bathroom sparkled when finished.
Mould can be seen surrounding tiles and around the bath area.

Replace broken Tiles in a Kitchen
Over a long period of time, tiles were broken and removed.
This job required carefully cutting out the existing grout, cleaning the floor surface and sticking down new replacement tiles.
The glue was left to dry and the following day the tiles were re-grouted. An edging was fitted in order for the tiles edges to remain intact.

Small Bathroom Makeover
This small bathroom required a low-cost solution to create a bright, clean look.
Re-tiling all the walls was too costly, so we looked at a cheaper alternative: tile paint. As you can see, this brightened up the bathroom providing a fresh modern look.
The door was previously hinged, so was replaced with a sliding barn-door, painted a fresh aquamarine colour, creating greater space.
