Whole house refurbishment, Clifton
This house needed a complete refurbishment including 5 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms, a living room, piano room, snug and new kitchen. Using a combination of traditional and eco-build techniques, Footprint’s team created a truly stunning family home, with greatly reduced heating bills.
General work included:
- Replastering,
- Decoration using wallpapers, paints and tiles (the clients say they will choose eco paints next time), restoration of skirting boards, shutters and cornicing.
- New wiring and cabling for audio visual system, fire and alarm system
- Bespoke furniture
Eco points:
- Installation of new condensing boilers
- Underfloor heating to main living space
- Reconditioning and draught proofing of sash windows
- Sustainable timber flooring to kitchen/snug and two bedrooms
- Sustainable rubber flooring to bathroom
- Bespoke built in wardrobes and drawers from sustainable oak
- All exposed woodwork (and believe us there was a lot of it!) treated with Osmo wax – a vegetable oil based product
- Insulation to attic
- Dual flush toilets
- Energy efficient bulbs throughout
- Switch to green energy supplier
Results:
A truly stunning family home with reduced heating bills.
The clients said: “We got the Footprint team in to do our bathroom and were very quickly happy to offer them the work on the whole house. What really impressed us is how focused, caring and passionate the team was. Building work never goes perfectly but they made sure they got it right. We are delighted by the results and are still amazed that it is actually our house!”
The clients now want to fit a solar water heating system, a wind turbine and photovoltaic cells! Watch this space.
