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.
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.
Crittall frames prepared and redecorated inside and out, reveals made good
Cracked plaster cut out and made good; the internal stair redecorated
Kitchen, bathroom and circulation, refurbished around the existing layout
The result
A top-floor flat repaired and redecorated inside and out, with the original steel windows kept and put back into service rather than swapped for something the building would never have been given consent for.
