Residential Extension & Renovation — Highbury Ave, London

Project Overview

British Builders was appointed to carry out urgent restoration works after severe water damage affected multiple rooms, including the garage, living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. The client required full refurbishment within just 10 days to prepare the property for sale. Our team responded immediately, assessed the damage, and mobilised resources to meet the tight deadline.

Scope of Work

• Protection of unaffected areas and furniture before works began
• Careful strip-out of damaged wallpaper, flooring, ceilings, and insulation
• Anti-mold treatment and repainting to prevent recurrence
• Full refurbishment of affected rooms including flooring, walls, and ceilings
• Restoration of property to pre-damaged condition, ready for market sale

Challenges & Solutions

• Mold Infestation: Extensive mold was identified during strip-out. We applied specialist anti-mold treatments followed by protective anti-mold paint to ensure long-term safety.
• Tight Timescale: With only 10 days available, subcontractors were tightly coordinated and tasks sequenced efficiently to maintain programme targets.
• Logistical Constraints: Restricted access and supply challenges were resolved through proactive communication and careful daily planning.

Final Outcome

The property was fully refurbished within 10 working days, meeting the client’s sales deadline. All water-damaged areas were restored to a high standard, mold issues were eliminated, and long-term protective measures were applied to ensure continued safety and durability.
