Ground-floor strip-out and rebuild: two walls and a chimney breast removed, RSJs installed to structural engineer’s design with Building Control inspections. Old timber floor removed, new insulated build-up with wet underfloor heating and screed. Full rewire, plasterboard and skim, new flooring. Acoustic insulation added to party wall. Old lead water mains replaced with new supply. Upstairs re-carpeted, all doors changed, unvented cylinder installed with Vaillant controls for low-heat output and stable year-round temperature. Finishing works (kitchen and decoration) in progress.
