Due to planning restraints this chalet was in bad condition as was previously built on sand with no foundations. The rabbits had borrowed under the base which had caused the whole building to sing 8 inches one end. So we ended up stripping the inside of the building and Jacking the walls and roof up so we could remove the floor and cast a concrete ring beam foundation and replace the whole floor. Once this was achieved we lowered the building back down and replaced everything piece by piece.
- Lifted building up
- New concrete ring beam foundations

- Fully fire boarded with match board finish
- New layout inside with mezzanine
- Fully insulated

We started this job with the intention to replace the outer cladding but once started realised that main structure of the building was fairly rotten. Not Being able to take the building down and start fresh. Every bit of timber was replaced piece by piece to bring it up to building, fire regulations and make it watertight where we could then fully replace the inside and modernise making it more energy-efficient and more of a relaxing environment. All the design and build was done by a team.
- Full internal support structure replace in situ
- All new cladding
- New roof Fully insulated
- Full rewire and energy-efficient lighting and heating
- Fire boarded and plastered
- New water supply
- New fixtures and fittings
- New layout including mezzanine with bespoke ladder system
- New outdoor seating with combined storage
