Newbury Renovation Project

This project was carried out in three main phases, each focusing on different aspects of the property. Our work included bathroom renovations, the creation of a garden office, landscaping, a small extension, and the complete renovation of the ground floor.

Phase 1: Bathroom and WC Renovation

The first phase of the project involved the renovation of a WC and three bathrooms, spread across multiple floors of the property.

Family and En-Suite Bathroom Renovations

The two upstairs bathrooms were completely remodeled:

Family Bathroom: All existing tiles and bathroom units were removed, followed by the installation of new plumbing and flooring.
En-Suite Bathroom: Converted into a shower room with:
–
- A built-in shower mixer
- Shower tray
- Glass shower screen
- New electric underfloor heating
  –

Both bathrooms received new wall and floor tiles, along with upgraded electrical systems, including spotlights and electric mirrors.

Loft Bathroom Renovation

The renovation of the third bathroom, located in the loft, involved converting a former shower room into a full bathroom, which required:

Reinforcing the flooring by opening walls and doubling the floor joists
New plumbing, drainage pipes, and electric underfloor heating
Spotlights, new tiles, and fresh paint

Phase 2: Garden Office and Landscaping

In the second phase, we constructed a garden office and completed various landscaping tasks, including the installation of a new fence and minor landscape adjustments.

Garden Office Construction

The garden office was built with a solid wooden structure and insulated for maximum comfort. Key features include:

Foundation: Leveled ground with two layers of concrete blocks to protect from rain and weather
Walls and Floor: Insulated with 10 cm PIR insulation, with cedar tongue and groove cladding on the exterior
Interior Finish: MDF tongue and groove panels and a parquet wooden floor
Electrical Work: Spotlights and electrical outlets installed throughout
Exterior Features: Ambient spotlights and a sliding accordion-style door
–

The roof was covered with an EPDM rubber membrane, and custom metal fascia was installed. The base of the structure was finished with black slate mosaic tiles.

Phase 3: Kitchen Extension and Ground Floor Renovation

The third phase of the project focused on extending the kitchen and transforming the entire ground floor into an open-plan living space.

Kitchen Extension

The small extension added to the kitchen was built from the ground up, with:

Exterior: Brick finish and insulated breeze block walls
Roof: Aluminum profiles with glass panels
Flooring: Insulated foundation with water-based underfloor heating and new screed floor
Tiles: New tiles laid throughout the ground floor

Kitchen Design and Features

The kitchen was designed with a traditional style, featuring:

Large island with oak worktop and three built-in lights
Natural stone worktops for the remaining countertops
Custom wood cladding above the kitchen sink with a waterproof finish
Built-in water heater, water cooler, and water filter system
Electric stove with retractable extractor fan integrated into the island
Built-in fridge, freezer, oven, and pantry, along with a coffee machine

Utility Room and Living Room Renovation

Next to the kitchen, we created a custom utility room with built-in units for a sink, washing machine, and dryer. The living room and kitchen were opened up to create a modern open-plan area, complete with:

Heating: Three-zone heating system throughout the ground floor
Lighting: LED and mood lighting installed
Bespoke Features: Oak seating areas, window frames, and MDF shelving system
Smart Home Integration: Smart switches and outlets throughout

Temporary Living Arrangements

During the renovation, we ensured the family could live comfortably by setting up a fully functional temporary kitchen in a separate, insulated room. This allowed them to continue their daily routine with minimal disruption while we carried out the work.
