Recent removal of an unwanted media wall in a bedroom.
The customer also asked if I could block up the first single pane window amd plaster it.
A few problems to solve on this one.

Firstly the plaster at the back of the shelves of the media wall where the only buts remaining o the original wall. So she wanted the wall re-boarding amd skimming.

Also, I realised the sockets and rad pipes where on the surface of the wall. "No problem", I said, "I can hide them all in the wall, when i reboard the stud wall", I said.
Until I realise that the wall was one of those 60mm plastic honeycomb walls. The customer wanted all pipes and sockets hiding, so we agreed that building a stud wall directly in front of the original wall was the best solution.

Building the wall in front of the original hid all the pipes and made it so the sockets back boxes could be fixed inside the wall. After sorting the walls and sockets it gave me chance to insulate for sound and board. The wall was skimmed and the coving was hung.

The customer said she wanted to paint it but she was originally going to just paint a full coat onto the fresh dry plaster, so I offered to mist coat it for her. The only thing left for her to do was paint the wall which ever colour she wanted it. 🙂 customer was very happy with the finish.

Before anyone asks, although I still placed dust sheets down and kept the floor clean, yes, the customer is planning to have a new carpet fitted 🙂

One done a while ago in Blackburn.
Customer rang reporting collapsing shower tray as it had been leaking and rotting the frame for a long time (see pics).
All old shower area was removed
Stud wall was taken down to allow for a larger shower tray.
The plaster board was all water damaged as was some of the stud and the floor joists.
The floor joists where repaired and new noggins were also added.
The stud walls had new studs brunch along side them to straighten the wall as it could take down the other side as it was a bedroom wall. The base stud was also replaced.
The walls were boarded with moisture board and also tanked twice. (Tray was also fitted with a classi seal.
Pvc panels fitted, enclosure fitted and all sealed up.
(Customer was replacing the rear bath panel)
Very happy customer to have their shower back in use and nearly twice the size 😀

This was my daughters Bedroom that needed a refresh. After removing the wall paper, I found that the plaster was perished in multiple places, so i decided to take the entire lot off the walls and plasterboard the room. I also removed the ceiling and levelled it and re boarded it.
As the room only had 1 socket, I decided I would extend the ring main and now she has 3 sockets, in prime positions.
The whole room had new boards to all walls and ceiling.
fully plastered
All trims, skirting boards architraves replaced and painted. The window reveal was taken back as to not encroach on the window frame to far.
new window sill.
new dimable down lights.
new curtains and pole.
new carpet.
new radiator.
mist coated and then painted with valspar glitter in the emulsion. Treated her to a new bed and a new chest of drawers.
She loves her new room. Just shelves to add now.

A recent ish Bathroom completed. This was a bit of a challenge as the shower tray had to go on the floor with no raise as she wanted to "future proof" herself.
Behind the bathtub was the boiler and under the bath but above the floor was every pipe for the boiler.
The flow, return, gas feed in, cold feed in, hot feed out and the condensate pipe. Which alm needed to go under the floor.
Ceiling levelled, new stud cupboard for boiler, tanked in bw1, fully tiled, vinyl click flooring, all pipes (rad) chased to wall. 👍🤜🤛

I'll Add more soon.
