October has been all about the finishing touches at Knoll Avenue. Decorating is underway throughout, the bathroom suites are fitted, quartz worktops are in, and carpets are going down upstairs. What's left is the external decoration and a garden clean-up — then the property is handed back to us for marketing with a local agent.
A big month at Knoll Avenue. Plastering and the roof are now fully complete, and doors and windows are fitted — the property is really starting to come together. The kitchen is in, LVT flooring is down throughout, carpentry is nearly finished and rendering is now underway externally. That leaves bathrooms, decorating, carpets and the externals to finish — with only 2–3 weeks left on programme, it's getting tight, but it's looking genuinely good.
August brought real momentum: electrics and plumbing first fix, boarding, insulation and plastering have all been progressing across the property, and the house is genuinely starting to come back together. The kitchen design has been finalised and ordered through Wren, alongside LVT flooring and bathroom tiles — the next phase is taking real shape.
Structural flooring replacements and improvements are complete. The knock-through has been carried out and steels are in place. First fix has now begun across the property. Building Control visited site this month and confirmed they are satisfied with all works completed to date. The project is progressing to programme.
Initial clearance works got underway in June. The property has been fully stripped back — all existing fixtures, fittings and finishes removed — ready for the structural improvements to follow. The site is clean, safe and prepared for the next phase.
