The full refurbishment and addition of a basement and swimming pool to an existing terrace property in Kensington with extensive landscaping to the rear to hide comfort cooling condensers. M&E works were all encompassing and in close conjunction with specialist lighting, AV and pool specialists. There were strict planning noise requirements due to the quiet nature of the

Marylebone Mews
An existing mews property which underwent extensive renovation work, including a basement extension and facade remodelling at ground floor level. Full MEP design was provided including separation of a complicated existing plant room serving the larger adjoining property to the rear which previously used the basement of the mews as a plant room. Due to freeholder-leaseholder agreements, the plant room had to be retained. However, the freeholder did allow for all machinery (such as boilers, gas meters etc) to be consolidated to one corner of the basement under the condition that we created an access route from the Mews to ensure that service personnel would not need to disturb anyone with a Wimpole Street address.
This requirement added complexity to the construction process in several ways. Relocating equipment had to be carefully timed to cause as little inconvenience to the Wimpole Street residences as possible, but it also had to be undertaken before digging the basement could begin. RS MEP undertook all utilities liaisons to facilitate the changes.

Wimpole Street
A large grade 2 listed property with much of the existing building fabric and original features intact. The property underwent a complete conversion from an office/dental surgery to a fully refurbished home. Works consisted of a roof void boiler plant room to free up accessible storage space for the client. A comfort cooling scheme was concealed and acoustically treated within the existing vaults to reduce external plant appearance and noise to suit local planning requirements.
The threading of a riser through the property was particularly challenging due to the listed nature of the building and so much of the property in very good historic condition. Existing, redundant flues were used to conceal the risers.
