Challenges & Solutions

Transforming a Basic Garage into a Premium Room
The original garage structure was unsuitable for a high-quality living space.
Solution: Partial demolition and rebuild allowed us to meet modern building standards and achieve a premium finish.

Creating a True Entertainment Space
The client wanted a room that felt complete, not just converted.
Solution: Full plastering, professional painting, and a fitted bar created a polished, welcoming environment.

Modernising the Exterior
The external appearance needed to match the upgraded interior.
Solution: White rendering combined with stone paving and decking delivered a clean, contemporary look.


Materials & Craftsmanship

This project highlights our expertise in garage refurbishments, structural building work, plastering, rendering, and landscaping. The contrast between the crisp white render and the traditional riven blue pennant flagstones creates a durable yet visually striking finish, perfectly suited to outdoor entertaining areas.

All work was carried out by skilled tradesmen with a focus on quality, durability, and attention to detail.
