Solid oak flooring

Solid oak flooringA job going back to 2003. I was asked to lay solid oak flooring throughout a property in London. This involved removing the existing carpet and skirting boards and then priming the existing floorboards with PVA sealer. The new oak floorboards were then glued down. Skirting boards to match the existing were not available 'off the shelf' so these had to be made. See the gallery of photos below.

Garden fencing, London

Garden fencingThis project involved erecting and treating a large expanse of garden fencing and blending the new fence into the existing side fence. I had to use a concrete breaker to dig holes to a depth of 600mm for the fence posts. This was because the new fence was to sit on the remains of the boundary wall below ground level. Hard work but a good end result.

Boiler cupboard 2009

Boiler cupboardI was asked by a customer of mine if I could do something to hide the new boiler that had just replaced the old one. We decided on a simple cupboard constructed from timber and MDF that they could paint to blend in with the wall.

Office to guest bedroom

Office bedroom

A good customer of mine approached me about creating a guest bedroom in his office. Keeping the office was crucial as he works from home. He came up with the idea of concealing fold down beds in custom-built wardrobes. The plans and measurements were very detailed; they had to be for everything to work in the space available.

The job was a complete sucess as you can see from the wonderfull pictures he took. He assured me that the grandchildren slept soundly.

Curtains

CurtainsThis job involved me fitting high quality curtains at premises in London. I have fitted curtains many times over the years and if it is to be done right the job requires great precision.
