Lewisham Voids – 7No Refurbishment properties

The first phase, of what was to become a negotiated rolling programme of major refurbishment work spanning 3 years, was secured from the South London Family Housing Association by competitive tender. All of the properties were completely gutted prior to having their external envelope and internal structure overhauled or totally rebuilt wherever found to be necessary. Works covered the complete gambit of building construction and temporary works much of which, undertaken within local conservation areas, required both a sympathetic touch as well as the faithful reproduction of original features. Remodeling of internal layouts required almost total replacement of internal floor structures and partitions. Underpinning, replacement roof coverings, new double glazed windows, stucco work were the norm throughout. A high degree of comfort has been afforded by full central heating coupled with “thermalboard” insulation to external walls, insulated ground floors and a whopping 200mm of roof insulation.
