Wanstead

Project Details

Location: Wanstead, London

For this project in Wanstead, we built a large loft room with bespoke carpentry, an ensuite bathroom, ground floor, open plan extension, large patio area to the rear and cedar wood fencing which we recommended to add character.

Externally we insulated the property and applied a pre-coloured silicone render.

Check out the ‘during renovation’ section below to see how the project progressed. We completed all building works on the neighbouring house simultaneously which really helped with sharing tradesmen, scaffolding and minimising the disruption to all involved.

The owner says...

We were looking to get our ground floor extended along with our loft converted into an ensuite bedroom. As part of the project we also had all of the ground floor flooring redone.

We decided to undertake the work at the same time as our neighbours, who wanted to do similar things to their house. We met a lot of builders and ultimately decided on Summit based on the strength of their reputation. I received so many overwhelmingly positive reviews about them, and saw the high quality finish of their work, that I knew the process would be far less stressful than choosing another building company, which might have been cheaper.

Indeed, very early on in the process, we went into lockdown and the team did everything they could to continue the project, safely, despite supply issues. We knew that we were in the best hands possible given the unprecedented situation we were in.

The team were very diligent, always starting work at 8am and finishing at 5pm, ensuring good progress was made every day. The team were friendly.

We also received some good design ideas and feedback from Julian, which ultimately made the end result of our project much better than what we started off with.
