6. What's happened so far?

The existing plaster was in a poor state, so the decision was made to strip the whole house. 4 skips later...

Downstairs...

...and upstairs


Next job was to get rid of the asbestos cement roof on the garage at the rear of the house, and convert it into a workshop suitable for storing building materials. And making cups of tea…

Existing garage roof.

Roofing sheets removed and disposed of safely.

Old roof completely removed.

Brickwork toothed-out ready for the new end wall.

Brickwork completed.

Completed flat roof structure.

18mm OSB roofdeck installed in readiness for the EPDM membrane.

Completed roof with guttering (obscured slightly by a dusting of snow).


Lighting installed along with a new concrete floor.

That brings us pretty much up to date. Watch this spot over the next few months as the story unfolds. Quite slowly I expect...
