Prospect House Extension nears the end


Works to the dining kitchen extension at Prospect house are almost complete, with the glazing, oak cladding, zinc roof and most of the lighting installed.

Bulthaup have been on site installing the elegant centre island unit, complete with extract unit, dishwasher, two ovens, hob and sink. work to the custom built wall to wall timber units that surround the island are continuing and should be complete by the end of the month. The client has painted the units in the utility a very fetching powder blue, which sits very nicely with the granite floor tiles. We are very pleased with the overall scheme, and aside from one or two somewhat stressful moments in the past month.

The most awkward issue we have had to resolve has been with scratches that have appeared in numerous places on the glass that the installer accidentally made when cleaning the excess silicone from the glass, which has required the services of a specialist glass polisher to sort out, and almost required the services of a doctor when I saw them as although I do not usually panic easily, for a moment I had heart failure! Very thankfully it looks as thought the glass will be perfect by the end of the week, amazing how a material that we take for granted as a solid easily broken surface can be "buffed" back to perfection. The lighting in the horizontal window has worked particularly well, and we are looking forward to joining the client for a glass of bubbly at some point in the next week, to celebrate completion of this phase of the works.
