London flat refurbishments

The pictures below show examples of a few of our central London flat refurbishments. All these flats were fully refurbished throughout, with new bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living areas refurbished in each. One of the flats was fitted with a glass entrance hall to give a light, spacious, open plan feel, while still complying with building regs.

Building regs in London in some cases require that fireproof walls separate the exit/entrance way from the flat. This will often spoil the look of a flat and reduce the light throughout the flat. Installing a 30min fire glass hallway overcomes this issue, or alternatively a water mist or sprinkler system can be used.

In one flat an open plan kitchen centralised the living area and allowed the old kitchen to be used as a second bedroom, making very efficient use of the space available.

This was a flat in Mayfair that required a complete refurbishment. The overall aim of the project was to create light, open plan, clean space using primarily non reflective matt white, stainless steel and natural wood or stone finishes for the flooring.

An internal kitchen wall was removed and a glass partition added to give an open plan layout and improve the flow of natural light throughout the living area/dining area and adjoining corridor.

The kitchen, fitted along a single wall, was custom made incorporating Fisher Paykel appliances, a white glass backslpash, a custom made single piece stainless steel worktop and custom made LED lighting above and below.

Flush doors used throughout avoided the need for door architraves. Flooring throughout was replaced with matt engineered wood floor or matt porcelain or ceramic tiles. Both bathrooms were fully refurbished with waste and plumbing pipes being concealed in new ‘false’ walls.
