Renovations & Refurbishments in Playing Place
Homes in Playing Place
If you are thinking of opening up rooms in a twentieth-century house or bungalow, start by finding out which walls are load-bearing. Taking one out has to satisfy the Building Regulations, and the opening usually needs a steel beam that a structural engineer has sized. Should your home be listed, alterations affecting its character need listed building consent, and that can extend to internal work. The customer review alongside this page describes structural changes for open plan living, finished to a high standard and in good time.
“Miles and Marc carried out a large renovation on my property which included significant structural changes for open plan living and large bifold doors. Through the quote process a complete breakdown of the work was supplied which made it easy for price comparisons. The work was carried out to a high standard and completed in a timely manner. Communication through out the duration of the project was excellent. The site team were always friendly and tidy during their work. Would definitely recommend and will use them again.”
What matters for renovations & refurbishments in Playing Place
Each project starts with a conversation about scope. We ask what the house or bungalow is like at the moment, which areas you want to change and what the finished rooms need to do. From there our own team takes care of the groundwork, structural work and finishing, with the project managed in-house.
- Mark up which walls you would like to remove so the structural work can be assessed.
- Allow for an engineer to size any steel beam and for the work to meet the Building Regulations.
- Say whether you also want carpentry and joinery, a kitchen or a bathroom included.
