Kitchen refurbishment - plastering walls & ceiling, kitchen fitting & painting | |||
Local areas covered by our London Plasterers: Earlsfield SW18 Southfields SW18, SW19 Raynes Park SW20 Wimbledon SW19 |
The kitchen required: New boiler. Electrics - rewire using a NICEIC domestic installer. New kitchen suite. Plaster - render, repair, skim walls & ceilings. Decorate - 'mist coat' plaster, stain & seal worktop. |
||
The first stage was to rip out the old kitchen & survey the extent of the work required. A new combi boiler was installed by a Corgi registered installer. This included moving it to an adjacent wall where it would fit in with the new cabinets being installed. The old electrics were removed & new cables run to provide for a central pendant, 5 spots, under cabinet lighting & a central grid system for Cooker, Hob, Dishwasher & Fan. |
|||
The end wall was rendered where the old pipework had been removed. A large hole was repaired & the walls & ceilings were skimmed. The kitchen suite & worktop were fitted. The worktop was stained & then sealed with a wax resin to prolong its work life & protect against water & heat damage. The new plaster was sealed in preparation for finishing coats. |

Bathroom refurbishment - plastering walls & ceiling, bathroom fitting, tiling & painting | |||
Bathroom required: New suite. New electrics. Render, Re-skim & plaster repair. Painting & Decorating. |
|||
The old suite was replaced with a modern stylish white suite. The radiator was replaced with a towel rail. The walls were rendered where the pipework had left a large hole & straightened (Float & Set) to make for easier tiling. The new skim plaster was sealed with 2 painted 'mist coats' Dulux supermatt paint. |
|||
The area around the shower, sink & bath was tiled & finished with chrome trim. A bath screen & illuminated mirror cabinet help to transform the look. The newly plastered walls & ceiling were painted to seal the plaster in preparation for the finishing coats of paint. |
|||

A new 'hole in the wall' gas fireplace was installed & the chimney breast was then plastered. The lounge walls & ceiling were then skimmed with finishing. plaster ready for the sealing mist coats. |
|||
The amazing transformation is completed with a professional paint job on the newly plastered walls & ceilings. For a relatively small cost this 1930s lounge has been transformed into a modern chic living space, perfect for getting the most out of your current house or to achieve a maximum sale price in today's tough market. |
