We are back with another one of our weekly blogs. This week we will continue the updates with all of our ongoing projects and a new building project due to start very soon.

A recap on where we are with St James School in Millom. Last week we mentioned that the asbestos team had been in, and the old conservatory had been removed safely. The classrooms had all been plastered, and the steelwork was in place. This week the team are in the process of fitting the roof timber in preparation for the roof to be completed next week. The flooring has also been screeded, which means a thin layer of concrete poured over the base flooring to provide a smooth level and strong foundation for the top player of flooring.

We are also progressing at Afton Street in Barrow in Furness, last week, a lean-to roof was installed, and new drainage was in place to accommodate the new toilet and sink. Next week the plumbing will be installed, and the plastering will be completed. The outside steps leading to the new extension will also be put in place.

There have not been a lot of changes to the house refurbishment in Askam. The joiner has some small jobs still to complete before we move on to the next stage.

As mentioned in the previous blog regarding the house refurbishment at Coniston, we came across dampness under the downstairs flooring. This has now been rectified with a new insulated concrete floor in place, and we were able to relay the original black and red quarry tiles.

Last but not least, we have an exciting building project starting soon at a 400-year-old farm cottage. This is going to include:

• kitchen refurbishment
• bathroom refurbishment
• Velux windows in the kitchen
• damp proofing
• plastering

Samuel Sheldon Ltd will travel to your home or business in and around the South of Cumbria, including:

• Whitehaven
• Coniston
• Bootle
• St Bees
• Ravenglass
• Askam
• Ulverston
• Barrow in Furness
• Ambleside
• Windermere

This week at Samuel Sheldon Ltd, the team has been working hard on various building projects, and the work is progressing nicely. Let’s look at what has been happening behind the scenes.

We have a project in Barrow In Furness. It is a single-storey extension consisting of an assisted living washroom and utility area for a customer with limited mobility. We have selected brickwork to match the existing property. A lean-to roof has been installed, and new drainage to accommodate the new toilet and sink. The flooring has been insulated to comply with building regulations to ensure maximum energy efficiency. The following steps are for installing the low threshold door and window.

St Bees is still an ongoing project of a new garage plus some landscaping work. So far, the foundations are being dug out for the new garage to be built on, and the block work for the retaining wall has been completed to support the extended garage.

We are finally making some good progress with the house refurbishment in Coniston, the stairs are near completion regarding the plastering, and the bathroom and on-suite are in the progress of being fitted. The original plan at this property was to keep the original victorian floor tiles in the Dining room. Unfortunately, we have discovered dampness throughout, so we have had to dig the flooring up and replace the tiles. There is also an unvented water cylinder that will be the hot water source throughout the property.

Also, Askam is finally seeing progress made, the painters complete the bedrooms, and the joiners finish the final bits. The kitchen cupboards are made from oak veneered MDF to match the rest of the joinery on the property. Fitted bedroom furniture is also in the process of being put in place.

Lastly, St James School has made fantastic progress; all the classrooms are now fully plastered, and the steelwork is in place. The next stage is preparing for the brickwork to be completed.

Samuel Sheldon Ltd has had a hard-working, dedicated team working in Broughton In Furness, completing a garage base to accommodate a pre-fabricated concrete garage.

• Whitehaven
• Ravenglass
• St Bees
• Coniston
• Bootle
• Askam
• Ambleside
• Barrow in Furness.

Samuel Sheldon Ltd has availability to take on new building projects and will happily come to your home or business to provide you with a free no-obligation quote.

Over the school summer holidays, work will continue at St James school; and will continue on the new garage and landscaping in St bees. So far, the old garage is in the process of being taken down.
