New light fittings and some shelving

A customer has moved house and needs her retro lights to be fitted in her new home. A simple spot of re-wiring to get the placement right.

Bathroom Completion

Bathroom Completion

Today we  completed a bathroom that a couple of enthusiastic DIYers have not quite found the time to complete… in the last 5 years! They started out promisingly enough however stumbled and never quite finished it. To the extent that I also had to do some repair to the bath ledge from water damage.

We pulled up the slate tiles that had never been grouted, put down slate effect bathroom laminate. Mended the bath ledge, re-tiled and re-grouted the ledge. Fitted the toilet, bolted it to the wall and floor and fitted the bathroom cabinet to the wall.

A good mornings work! We were finished by 2pm.

The customer is delighted and now that they finally have a completed bathroom have celebrated by putting the property on the market.
