Project overview

This property is used as a supported living house for a number of residents and hosts a number of staff and office facilities. The modern dorma-bungalow has 5 ground floor bedrooms 3 of which have emnsuite bathrooms, 1 communal WC and 1 communal bathroom, there is a large communal living room and dining kitchen, utility room and a spacious sensory room upstairs! There is also private large grassed garden with a space to develop a vegetable patch.

The property unfortunately suffered from a leaking heating pipe laid under the floating timber floor which had gone unnoticed for a long period of time. This leak caused significant damage to the entire ground floor of the property.

We worked closely with the property owner and the claims consultants to detail a scope of work and to allow the works to be approved by the clients insurance company and loss adjustor.

Scope of works

  • Demolition – removal of all existing fittings, affected floors and walls coverings
  • Drying – drying out existing partitions, floors and walls and treatment with mould inhibitor
  • Reinstatement – including new walls, floors and finishes
  • Installation of new kitchen and bathrooms

Words from the client

“The care facility had to stay open throughout the reinstatement project, Certus spent a lot of time up front detailing a plan which involves phasing the work and installing temporary partitions to keep the residents safe.”
