Overview

A devastating fire incident caused significant damage to a residential property, leaving two rooms destroyed by fire and extensive smoke damage to other parts of the house. The homeowner sought insurance coverage for necessary repairs but also took the opportunity to invest in modernising and upgrading the property.

Scope of Work

The project involved two key areas: insurance-covered fire restoration and additional upgrades requested by the homeowner.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration:
Refurbishment of two fire-damaged rooms.
Smoke damage removal and thorough cleaning throughout the property.

Private Modernisation Works:
Installation of new windows, doors, and cladding for a modern look and better energy efficiency.
New kitchen installation with updated appliances and finishes.
Addition of ensuites to bedrooms for improved functionality.
Full rewire to ensure electrical safety and compliance.

Summary

Despite the initial devastation caused by the fire, this project successfully restored and modernised the property, transforming it into a stylish, safe, and functional family home. The combination of insurance restoration and privately funded upgrades allowed the homeowner to not only address the fire damage but also improve the home to better meet their family’s needs. By overcoming challenges related to tight access and damage repair, the project was completed on time and to the satisfaction of the client. The outcome was a fully refurbished and modernised property that provided a fresh start for the family after a difficult experience.
