Overview

West Ing was a project similar to ones we’ve done many times before.

This involved taking down a load-bearing wall between a kitchen and dining room to create a large kitchen/dining/living area.

As with other projects, the team managed the build while liaising with long-standing partners and subcontractors, including the structural engineer, building control officer, electrician and plumber.

The clients were living in the property, so minimising disruption was a key priority. A programme was developed in consultation with the client to ensure that a working kitchen was reinstated as quickly as possible. With the clients away on a two-week holiday, this window was used to complete the most disruptive elements of the work.

By the time the client returned from their holiday, all the structural and disruptive work was completed. Everything fell into place and the project ran to the programme exactly.

 

It was great to see the transformation, and with the addition of a wood burning stove, it really created a wonderful space to be in.

Testimonial

Andrew and his team completed our kitchen renovation in August 2025, and I cannot recommend their work highly enough.

 

From the initial discussions all the way through to the signing off of the project, all aspects of the build were completed in a professional and friendly manner, to an exemplary standard and in a timely and efficient way with the project being managed completely to schedule.

 

We found Andrew’s advice and recommendations extremely helpful and were very impressed with the attention to detail in both the planning and the execution of every stage of the project. Every member of the team took real pride in their craft and rightly so: they have created an amazing new space for us.
