A top-floor flat at The Grampians

A top-floor flat with its own stair and windows onto the roof — refurbished inside, with the Crittall windows repaired and redecorated outside.

  • W6The Grampians

A top-floor flat at The Grampians with its own internal stair and windows opening onto the roof — which makes it one of the better views in Hammersmith, and one of the more awkward flats in the block to work in.

The work covered internal refurbishment and the external redecoration of the Crittall windows at roof level, along with repairs to cracked plaster and window reveals where ninety years of movement and weather had taken their toll.

Windows and external decoration

Steel Crittall windows don't get replaced on a listed building — they get repaired, prepared and redecorated. Frames were taken back, primed and finished, and the surrounding brickwork and reveals made good.
