Renovating a wide-frontage canal home
Most homes in Paradise Waters were built through the 1980s and 90s on generous, wide-frontage blocks with the best aspect facing the water. They are structurally sound and generously proportioned, but the interiors carry the hallmarks of their era: compartmentalised living, small windows relative to the outlook, and outdoor areas that were never designed for how people entertain now.
A typical project here is comprehensive rather than cosmetic. New kitchen, reworked ensuites, flooring through the entire ground floor, larger glazing to the canal elevation, and a rebuilt outdoor entertaining area with proper shade and weather protection.
Where the work concentrates
Large glazing spans and the structure behind them
Widening a canal elevation means new lintels or beams, sometimes new footings, and glazing that has been specified for wind loading in an exposed waterfront position. We coordinate the engineering, the glazier and the carpentry so the opening is set out once and set out correctly.
Heavy material handling on a waterfront site
Stone slabs, large format tile and glazing units need crane or lift access on many of these blocks. We work that out at the quoting stage, because discovering it later is what turns a smooth job into a delayed one.
Rebuilding the entertaining area between house and water
Outdoor rooms here face direct Broadwater exposure. Every external carpentry element is detailed for salt, fixings are marine grade, and the roof or pergola structure is engineered rather than assembled by eye.
Ensuite and main bathroom upgrades in large homes
Homes of this size often have three or four wet areas built to 1990s waterproofing standards. We strip back properly, install compliant membranes and take the opportunity to improve ventilation, which is the quiet cause of most bathroom deterioration on the coast.
