Steel beams support the rear of the property


At the end of last week we saw the two longest steel beams taking the load of the rear of the property.

This was the tricky part because the builders had to remove the ceiling and fit the steel beams with as little disruption to the two rooms above.

Below we see how the rooms above were cleared and prepared for the steel beams to be inserted.

Bricking up progress in the heat wave

The hottest week of the year so far and certainly the hottest spell of weather for quite some time.

House extension brickwork

The brick layers are finding the heat challenging, however they are making good progress and hope to be complete and ready to knock through soon.

The steel beams are now ordered. these steel beams will provide support to the house between the dining room and kitchen and across the rear of the property to the house extension.
