This understairs WC was functional only and required some creative styling to make it feel more welcoming and family friendly. We installed UPVC ceiling panels to the stair slats to make the ceiling sleek and clean and reduce the spider levels, boxed in the waste pipe and replaced the sink with a Victorian style mini sink. We repainted the space in soft cream, with a feature wall in teal and orange, providing the wow factor as you enter the space.

This 19th-century, Grade II-listed manor house on the banks of the River Itchen had been converted into 12, well-resourced apartments. Unfortunately No 5, had a fire. Luckily, the occupants were out. With smoke pouring out of the windows and seeping into the communal hallways, the fire services attended. The damage was disastrous, leaving the apartment derelict and uninhabitable.
