The Brief
- This project was for a private residential client in Seaford, refurbishing their terraced property on the seafront.
- The owners had recently moved back to the UK from Spain, and needed a calming space where they could easily manage a long-term illness.
- Hawes Construction Group won this project through a competitive tender process.
Our Solution
- Hawes Construction Group completed structural alterations and internal reconfigurations, which included knocking some walls through and building a new staircase with a stairlift.
- When we started the works, we found that there was a gap between the internal and external wall, so we undertook structural repairs to tie that back in.
- There was no access at the back of the property, so all materials had to be delivered to the front and stored inside the property.
- Since the residential street was very tight and enclosed, this presented some challenges. There was no room for a skip, so we regularly took away truckloads of rubbish to keep the site clean and safe, and to minimise disruption to the neighbours.
- We completely rewired and replumbed the property.
- Since the lower level of the house was partially below ground level, we damp-proofed all affected areas of the house.
- We fitted a new kitchen and two new bathrooms.
- We formed a utility room, with space to park a mobility scooter.
- The property had a spacious and open-plan layout. To keep the building fire-safe, we installed a fire-rated roller shutter over the kitchen, with internal and external controls.
- We decorated throughout and did all internal plastering and flooring.
- The project also included the installation of fitted wardrobes, mirrored tiles, and unique marine-design lights.
The Result
- We completed the project within the agreed timescale. This also included some extra elements that the client asked us to do, and we worked with the client to adjust their budget to suit their additional needs.
- The client is over the moon with the result.
- Their property is now fully modernised and suitable for their ongoing needs, with a cosy design and calming view of the sea.
