Demolish load-bearing wall + RSJ installation + plaster

  • Location: Tooting

  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

I need to remove a wall between my living room and second box room, to create one room. The flat is a ground floor flat in Tooting Bec - the wall is the old exterior wall of a converted Victorian terraced house.

A structural engineer has been round to make an assessment/draw up plans and has suggested a 200mm upright each side of the room (12 foot wide), creating a "goal post" format. One side is already in place to allow for an archway access to kitchen.

Once building work is complete, will need to organise plaster of space left over.

Ecnlose external WC - fix structure, add door, glazing

  • Location: Surbiton
  • Hired: GHM Construction UK
  • Trade: Conversions - General
Job Description

There is a small addition at the back of the kitchen, with a roof canopy, and external WC which is partially enclosed. We plan to enclose the area by constructing a low wall and adding UPVC panels and windows above to join with the existing roof structure.

The brickwork above the kitchen window is cracked and may relate to slgiht subsidence of the rear addition, also illustrated by the downward movement of the support post to the external WC canopy roof. Therefore excavate if necessary and allow for some underpinning of the structure when enclosing the area.

There are several damaged tiles and these should be replaced, the verge pointing is also deteriorated and may require attention. Also check the lead flashing above and whether any repointing is needed here.

Work will include removing the existing kitchen back door and moving out to create a new back door in the enclosed area.

Please arrange to visit and quote on or after 22nd June - Mon 25th AM is ideal, or Tues 26th AM, Mon 30th AM, Tues 31st AM or Sat 4th July.
