Wet Weather Progress, Structural Work & Smart Problem-Solving

This week we’re pushing projects forward despite challenging conditions. In Chalgrove, groundworks continue in tough weather, in Hindhead structural work is complete, and in Shoreham a rebuild is underway after agreeing the right solution on site.

Check out what happened this week below…even with the weather against us!

Chalgrove, Oxford

Groundwork Progress Despite the Weather

  • Despite very wet weather, we’ve made strong progress on this project.
  • Using a water pump, we’ve been able to get concrete into the ground even with a rising water table.
  • A block-and-beam base is now being constructed due to the build-up required. This gives the customer a solid foundation that also matches the specification of the existing house floor.
Hindhead, Surrey

Brickwork Complete, Structure Taking Shape

  • Fitting has now been completed on this slightly more complex conservatory.
  • Working from a long existing bay window, we’ve integrated the new frames and roof using a neat box-gutter system, fully clad in fascia so it looks clean and finished internally.
  • By filling this corner of the house, the new space improves flow and usability — a layout decision we helped guide the homeowner through when weighing up two different options.
Shoreham, West Sussex

Challenge Overcome, Progress Going Well

  • A strong start has been made on this project, with the old structure removed and a new one now being built.
  • We discovered the existing base wasn’t to the standard expected and couldn’t be reused, so we worked closely with the customer to agree on a solution everyone was happy with.
  • With that decision made, progress is now moving quickly, and fitting is scheduled for next week.

That’s a Wrap For This Week

That’s it for this week’s round-up! It’s always exciting to see these spaces take shape. From first foundations to final finishes. Whether you’re mid-project, just getting started, or simply gathering ideas, we hope these updates give you a clear view of what’s possible.
