Oops that leak will have caused some damage then. A steady leak from a weeping pipe damaged the plasterboard behind the shower wall. This then fell off while someone was having a shower.
We removed the whole back wall and reconstructed it in moisture resistant plasterboard then applied new white tiles. Fortunately the insurance company covered the cost.
after an enquiry reference what can be done about a freezing cold bedroom, the home was visited and room examined. Fortunately the room wasn't inhabited by a ghost, on checking the roof space it was found that there was only a miserly 25mm of insulation in it.
The solution, straight forward really add 170mm of new insulation to the roof space. Job done. Insulation is now level with the top of the joists giving a highly improved thermal barrier.
You can just see the joist at the top of the picture level with the insulation
Following a wobble whilst going up the garden our client asked us to make her steps safer. We did this by removing the old rotten 450mm x 450mm decking tiles and replaced them with far better more stable 600 x 600 pavers cemented in place. The fronts of the steps were then rough rendered at the clients request.
The worktop was originally badly stained and the joints were uneven. The brief was to remove the sink and hob, level the joints and refit them, then sand back the entire worktop to remove the water and food stains.
These packing pieces were removed and the worktop was refitted correctly with strong jointing plates dowels and glue. The pressure of the worktop and packing pieces on the drawer runner below had dislodges the runner and made the drawer unusable. This was repaired prior to refitting of the worktop.
Once refitted a quarter inch round-over bit was then used to cut a bevel onto the front edge of the worktop. Providing a smooth clean edge all the way round the worktop.
Once the new bevel had been routed onto the front edge of the worktop three coats of danish oil was applied to seal the worktop and give a satin luster finish.
