Structural Opening & Open-Plan Kitchen Transformation in Crystal Palace (SE19)
Project Overview At MK Refurbishment London Ltd, we excel at transforming period properties into modern, functional spaces. We recently completed a structural opening project in Crystal Palace (SE19), designed to bridge the gap between a traditional kitchen and dining area, creating a contemporary, light-filled open-plan living space.
Scope of Work Whether a client has started the initial strip-out themselves or needs full-scale support, we step in to ensure structural perfection. Our expertise in local SE19 architecture allows us to balance modern layouts with the integrity of historic homes.
Our key works included:
-
Supply of Structural Steel: We provided the high-quality structural steel beams (RSJ), fully tailored to the project’s specific engineering requirements.
-
Precision Demolition & RSJ Installation: We performed the structural removal of the wall and expertly installed the steel beams to support the load-bearing requirements, ensuring complete structural safety.
-
Advanced Wet Padstone Technology: To ensure optimal load distribution, we utilized the wet padstone method. By bedding the steel beams on high-strength mortar, we guaranteed maximum stability and minimized the risk of future settlement.
-
Building Control Compliance: All structural works were carried out in strict accordance with engineering specifications and were fully supervised and approved by Building Control, ensuring that every aspect of the project meets current safety and building regulations.
The Result The transformation has turned a compartmentalized area into a seamless, sophisticated open-plan hub that perfectly complements the character of the Crystal Palace property. By combining our steel supply, professional installation, and strict adherence to regulatory standards, we have delivered a safe, high-end solution that gives our client total peace of mind.
