Turning a Victorian property into a blended modern classic with period features

ContractorProject brief
I bought my one bedroom ground floor flat with the intention of making it a two bedroom and extending into the side return. It was a reasonably big project in a tight space and being a period property, was always going to uncover some surprises! I wanted to create a clean balance between the period features and some more modern, timeless styling. Working full time and living on the other side of London whilst the work was completed meant that I needed someone to run with the project independently with a sensible level of consultation. With upstairs and next door neighbours, I also needed someone considerate to allow domestic harmony to be maintained.
“I received a visit from my architect’s building arm, which used whichever of their pool of contractors happened to be free. I was looking for something more personal to help me find the right contractor for me. Thomas took the time to read through the request I sent and really dig into which of their network may be best. He matched me with a few options and I met all of them before deciding. The Page team were helpful, knowledgeable and also followed up to check whether their shortlist matched my needs. My Pager, Michal, was sensational from start to finish and I was delighted with the outcome.”
