What we are renovating right now. Working photos from active sites — not a polished showcase. For finished work, see the portfolio.
Sliding gate is up at 37EW. The frame was welded on site before it went on. Solar is in as well, lifted up to the roof by crane. Toilets and shower sets are installed in both bathrooms. Moving closer to completion.

Painting has started at 37EW. The ceilings inside and the external walls now have their coat on, scaffold still up. Solar panels go in next week. Four months in, and the long wait now is carpentry and windows.

Rear courtyard tiling at 37EW. Large-format grey tiles laid right across the yard. The access covers are cut in so the grout lines carry straight through them. Work around the courtyard is still going on.

Laying floor tiles across the courtyard on this A&A job. Every gradient is measured so water runs off the way it should. Screed bed goes down first, then the tiles follow the fall. Working doubly hard to keep on schedule.

Reconstruct job in progress. Before we take anything down we work out what can be removed and how to remove it safely. We do it slowly so the debris stays on our side and does not fly across to the neighbours. Scaffold up, walls opened, brick cleared as we go.

Demolition and strip-out on job 22PS, getting the site ready for piling works. Roof covering came off to expose the timber and the structure, and the internal walls were taken down. Not a straightforward demolition. A lot of hurdles to solve before we could clear the ground.

This is the demolition stage of a landed reconstruction. We run skid tanks in and out to cart away the debris, usually eight to fifteen loads over the demolition. A noise monitoring device is set up on the hoarding to keep track of levels while we work.

Exterior tiling works, job 37EW. Large tiles laid out with levelling clips to hold the gradient and keep the alignment matched across the floor. Working on it every day to get it finished. Levels checked as we go.

Internal demolition underway on this job. We are stripping the interior back and hauling the rubble out by skid tank, lost count of how many we have filled. Next step is the external wall once the inside is cleared.

Work in progress on this house. Walls plastered, bathroom tiling going in with levelling clips still on, and the staircase balustrade set. Floor is almost ready for screed to level up before finishing and paint works.

Site checked and cleared ahead of piling works. Floor slab has been broken out and the space stripped back to the bare structure. Beams, columns and the existing staircase are exposed so we can see what we are working with. Next step is preparing the ground for the piling.

Renovation works on a 3-storey semi-detached house. Over three months of masonry, partition, electrical and plumbing work. Here you can see the ceiling being built up and the floor tiling going in with levelling clips still on. Job is running well and we may finish before the November 2026 completion date.
