December Updates

During our recent site visit the following issues emerged.

Firstly once the old plaster was removed the corridor wall was revealed to be too thin with a thickness of less than 50mm. This would be insufficient to accept cabling ducts, and also appeared fairly unstable when pushed. For such reason it was suggested to remove such wall and re-build a deeper one slightly offset towards the corridor. This would reduce the corridor width but at least it would succesfully hide the water risers in the corridor.

Secondly, the new brickwork walls had been erected; giving a perception of the new spaces and their dimensions.

When demolishing the existing toilet walls another soil vent pipe was discovered. Its dimensions are sufficient for servicing both toilets hence eliminating the necessity to open up the floor slab to remove the obstructed pipe.

This will require increasing the thickness of the shower wall to accept and hide the soil vent pipe.

Finally the walls of the living / kitchen spaces have been levelled and are ready to be rendered once cabling has been inserted.

This will be the next batch of information to be produced by mid January.

November Site Progress

Once the suspended ceiling was removed it appeared that all the structural ceiling consisted of exposed brickwork, which would require re-plastering. For such reason it was decided to increase the extent of the new suspended ceiling to all the rooms of the house. It also became apparent that some of the perimetral walls were not straight and flush hence levelling work became necessary.
