Removing a Masonry Pier in Codicote

Project Overview

In Codicote, we recently had the pleasure of working with lovely clients looking to transform their living space. The project involved addressing a common issue known as a "faux pas install," the previous owners of the property had left a masonry pier in the middle of the room following an extension. This project not only required skillful planning but also the precision to navigate tight spaces while maintaining the integrity of the existing kitchen.

The Challenge

Upon starting the project, it became evident that the leftover masonry pier was creating an awkward barrier in the room. Not only did this pier disrupt the flow of the space, but it also necessitated a patch in the floor where the old masonry pier had been. Our clients wanted to maximise their living area and create a more open and inviting environment without the cumbersome presence of this pier.

Additionally, the challenge was heightened by the tight layout of the kitchen, which the clients wished to keep intact. Installing a full-width beam in such a confined area required careful planning and execution to ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Our Approach

To tackle the project, our team devised a strategic plan to remove the masonry pier while accommodating the existing kitchen. We sourced and installed a full-width beam that would effectively support the structure and open up the space.

One of the standout accomplishments of this project was our ability to rebuild the bearing piers without having to remove the kitchen work surface. This innovative approach minimised disruption and saved our clients time and effort, ensuring that their kitchen remained functional throughout the renovation process.

The Results

The results of this project were nothing short of transformative. By removing the masonry pier and installing the new beam, we created a spacious and inviting environment that enhanced the overall flow of the home. Our clients were thrilled with the newly opened space, which now offers greater flexibility for entertaining and daily living.
