Autumn has arrived, and the race is on!
Every time we step onto site, something has changed. With three projects heading towards completion in early / spring 2027 New Year, our teams are working hard to get everything watertight, landscaped and ready before winter really sets in.
Meanwhile, we’ve started work on our our newest property just in time for Halloween!
Wimbledon: Windows & Winding Stairs
It’s been a busy month in Wimbledon, with some seriously impressive changes.
The Corten dormer windows have aged beautifully in just two weeks, completing the property’s striking iron-clad look. Meanwhile, the new extension’s huge skylights required a 100ft crane to lift them into place… quite a sight on a sunny Wimbledon day!
The basement is now fully wired and flood-proofed, with the final glazing going in to get the house watertight before the autumn rain arrives. Our partners at MaxLight will also be joining us shortly to glaze the spectacular two-storey kitchen extension.
Outside, thousands of Dutch clay pavers have arrived, and the rear patio is already taking shape with its precise 5mm spacing.
Lucas’ favourite feature? The bespoke curved staircase. Installed earlier this month, it’s a real showstopper. We’re just waiting for the bespoke curved balustrade to complete the winding ascent to the attic conversion. This landing really is a showstopper.
Dulwich: The Finish Line
Over in Dulwich, things are moving quickly towards the February finish line.
The top two floors are now plasterboarded and white-washed, ready for paint choice and luxury fittings. The six bathrooms are also taking shape, with bespoke tiling that perfectly complements our client’s French chateaux-meets-modern aesthetic.
Outside, the new windows are in, with the black Crittall-style glazing creating a standout feature from the garden.
Earlsfield: Secret Doors & Hidden Spaces
There’s no shortage of surprises in Earlsfield.
Head up to the fifth floor and you’ll find a panelled staircase leading to a cosy snug, complete with a tiny door that looks like eaves storage. Open it up, and you’ll discover a half-height attic space: The perfect hideaway for a game of hide and seek!
Add in the bespoke joinery, multiple walk-in wardrobes and the new basement media room, and there are plenty of places to hide around the property.
The rear scaffolding has come down to reveal the garden and the impressive double-storey kitchen extension. The exposed timber vaulted ceiling is already looking spectacular, and with the basement and finishing touches coming together, the final stages are getting very exciting.
Bromley: The Horror House
The fun really starts with a blank canvas, and Bromley is certainly that!
We’ve cleared over 1,000 sq ft of overgrown garden, filled seven skips with waste and brought in the heavy machinery (yes, multiple diggers!).
Inside, the staircase and non-essential walls have been removed, leaving us with just a derelict structure, a friend in the bathroom (see picture below!) and a fair few webs!
The plan? An ultra-modern, five-bedroom, mansion-style home. Take a sneak peek at Matthew Giles’ staircase designs and try to imagine what this place will look like in 18 months…
And Finally…
With winter fast approaching, our sites are moving forward at pace. From our incredible ground teams and office staff to our clients and trusted partners, it really is a team effort.
And one more thing… Lucas will be joining the Challenge Stories this month with Matt Donegan. Make sure you tune in!
