Essex Builders recently transformed this bathroom in Rowhedge, just outside Colchester, from a stripped-back renovation space into a clean, practical and carefully finished bathroom.
The completed project included new wall tiling, plumbing work, bathroom fitting and final finishing, creating a brighter room that makes better use of the available space.
This completed rear home extension shows how Essex Builders can transform an existing property into a brighter, more practical living space while maintaining the character of the original home. From the early groundwork and structural preparation through to the finished extension, our team managed the project with careful planning, tidy workmanship and attention to detail.

"Excellent from start to finish! Brad did a great job changing my kitchen work tops, suggesting a breakfast bar addition and also resolving an issue that arose during fitting. I would not hesitate to recommend Brad and even got him to quote my next project. Completely trustworthy!"
