Builders For London

Engaged to refurbish the entire bathroom by fitting an extra shower to the
already existing bathtub.

While removing the initial tiles we encountered several problems with the
walls.

The actual tiles had been laid on plywood which really isn't the way
to do it and subsequently covering up a very old and damaged lath &
plastered Victorian walls. After several attempts in "preserving" some parts
of these walls we came to the inevitable conclusion that the walls had to
come down and decided to hack off the entire loose plaster work alongside
the lath & plaster. Again the stud walls were also in a bad condition and
where we could we re-enforced it with 4x2 buttons.

The wet area was addressed with "Aqua Panels" waterproof cemented base
panels and the remainder of the walls we sand and cemented, that way the
room was sound and ready for tiling and suite fitting.

The following is what the customer had to say:

"The work was carried out to a high standard and I'm very pleased with the
finished bathroom. Paolo's workmen were courteous and hard working. They
found solutions to problems and made everything work. Also the tiling is
excellent." Peter - Saint Andrews Road EN1

Here are some “before” pictures of a house in Islington, N1, that is a current project. Hopefully there will be some “during” pictures coming soon. Some of the work involves restoring features of the original construction.
