East Dulwich Road

Description

This property had been occupied by an old couple for many years, who left décor and facilities that didn't suit the new owner/client. After a thorough strip-out, floorboards were sanded and then finished expertly with Osmo products by the client.

Wallpaper was stripped from each and every wall, and the underlying plaster sanded to give a deep base for painting. The existing concrete slab backyard and concrete coal bunker where completely broken up manually, as access was a limiting factor.

The former out-house/toilet block was converted into a small studio by replacing the existing asbestos roof with a new slated insulated roof including a Velux roof-light.

A bespoke kitchen was built from salvaged timber, to the client’s design, with created industrial lighting and plumbing solutions. The range cooker was installed in the chimney place, after opening it up with significant structural modification.

The bathroom’s exterior wall was stripped of blown horse-hair plaster down to the unfaced brick, then sealed. The shower / bath wall was bespoke tiled and plumbed to the client's design.

The near sterile ground beneath was rotorvated and blended with responsibly sourced top-soil. Experimental timber block-paving was layed into two areas with galvanised industrial grip-tread used as both a drainage cover and border.
