A warm home-feeling flat with nice and kind neighbours at a very good location. It is close to Ealing Broadway amenities, while at the same time away from the fuss of the urban noise. Lovely view from the windows to gardens and green areas with large trees. If on sale, I would love to have bought it. We would be happy to recommend this flat for any decent family (decent flat requires decent tenants

I would anticipate that this will be my penultimate blog, as works are now finally drawing to a successful conclusion and the basis of this overview is to look at the project on a floor by floor basis.

Third Floor
Essentially, this three bedroom apartment is now finished with the heating working successfully throughout.  Minor works include completing the LCD Lighting to the kitchen and thoroughly cleaning the apartment which has a film of dust on every surface.

Second Floor
This floor is split into two one bedroom apartments with American kitchens.

As with the third floor, these have now been completed apart from a few snagging items that will be completed during the course of this week.  Again, there is a need for a thorough cleaning throughout both of these apartments.

First Floor
We have established a beautiful two bedroom apartment with two ensuite bathrooms and independent kitchen with eating facilities.

Works as directed by the Building Control Officer have now been completed, which included fire protection within the cupboards in the ceiling voids.

Essentially, the works within this apartment are the same as the upper floors but will take a few more days to complete.

Elsworth & Bond have completely refurbished the wrought iron metalwork but we still have to complete some structural work and finishing to the external floor of the balcony.  This can be completed from the outside when the front elevation is decorated.

Ground Floor
This is one of the feature apartments within the building, having created a two bedroom apartment with a stunning kitchen and bay window to one of the bedrooms.

Over the next two weeks, Elsworth & Bond will be completing the decorations as most of the preparatory work has now been completed.  The bathroom required completing and tiling and Cranleigh Flooring will be commencing the floor finish on Monday 1 March 2010.

As stated in previous blogs, this area was always designated where most of the rubbish was stored for collection and all of the materials delivered and stored.

Lower Ground Floor
I think this will be the most desirable two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and triple sliding glass doors out onto an open terrace adjacent to the large sitting room.

Works are being completed to both the outside rear terrace and front lightwell to ensure satisfactory drainage and the laying of natural stone tiles within both areas.

Everything apart from the final snagging will be completed by Friday 26 February 2010 as Cranleigh Flooring will be laying the concrete screed at the beginning of the following week.  Once this has dried, the final flooring will be laid which will enable Elsworth & Bond to finish the skirting throughout the apartment.

From today’s inspection, final decorations also include the final coat to all woodwork and a final finish to the walls.

Common Areas
Having decided to replace the front door due to the state of the original, we have also refurbished the internal wrought iron semi circular window above the internal double doors.  Philip Bradbury Glass will be reglazing this and the internal doors.

All of the emergency lighting is now in place apart from the ground floor which will be completed this week.

Decoration has now been completed down to the first floor and we will be concentrating on the ground floor within the next week.  Strengthening to the ground floor common area has now been completed and one of the last jobs will be laying of the new marble floor when the decorations are complete.

External
The rear courtyard has now received its final concrete layer and the drainage has been completed.  Decorations need to be finished and external lighting units fitted to the walls.

The front elevation and lightwell have been re-rendered and all of the preparatory works for final decorations are being carried out.  Again, the natural stone to the floor needs to be completed and final paintwork to the cast iron railings.  This will be one of the last areas to complete, together with retiling of the front steps to the property.

We are in the midst of the worst winter weather conditions for the last 30 years and this has resulted in the depletion of our workforce and non delivery of goods and materials required to finish the contract.  Notwithstanding the short term difficulties, Richard Sugarman of Elsworth & Bond is working with his team to complete many of the outstanding items.  These include the fitting of ceiling and wall lights, together will all of the bathroom fittings throughout the property.  Now that all of the internal doors have been delivered by the Door Gallery, they have been fitted on the first, second and third floors.  We are waiting for the delivery of the suited mortice locks from Guildford Lock and Safe Ltd which will enable us to secure the apartments on all of these floors.

As mentioned last month, most of the work is being concentrated on the ground floor, which includes the levelling of the front lobby and ground floor common area which also needs to be subtantially strengthened to receive new marble flooring being delivered on 13 January 2010.  The bathroom is being completed, together with the kitchen with the unique island unit feature in the main living room.  It is certainly a very busy place to be with carpenters, plumbers and painters all working together in a confined space. 

We are also finishing off the basement which includes a complete rebuilding of the front entrance and lightwell, which will require re-rendering and decorating up to ground floor level.  We are very mindful of possible flooding from both the front and rear of the property and our Architect, Michael Phillips, is designing specific cill details to minimize any possible water penetration from outside.  There has been a delay of the delivery of the rear sliding doors until 22 January 2010, which in turn delays the finishing of the floor throughout the basement as we must be weather tight to avoid any future problems.

Clearly our objective now is to complete the contract and obtain the appropriate Certificates from EDF Energy (Electricity), Building Control (Westminster City Counci) and final Architects Certificate (Michael Phillips Associates).  Our target date for these inspections to be completed is the beginning of February 2010 and at this time we will apply for Energy Performance Certificates to be completed by an independent inspector.

As detailed on my January 2009 blog, we were applying to change the name of the property to Beverston House.  This has been turned down by the Post Office and we have decided to refer to the property simply as 11 Upper Montagu Street.
