House Refurbishment .

Low Fell

GMR Construction completed a major refurbishment of a Georgian-style family home in Low Fell, breathing new life into a much-loved property. With extensive structural alterations and high-quality finishing works, the project brought a contemporary edge to a classic home—creating a striking indoor-outdoor living space and a more modern feel throughout.

The Brief.

The client, whose family had owned the property for many years, sought to modernise the home while retaining its original charm. GMR Construction was appointed to carry out a full programme of works based on pre-agreed plans, with a particular focus on opening up the rear of the house to create a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, and garden.

Our Approach.

This complex refurbishment involved significant structural work, including the installation of substantial steelwork to achieve an open-plan layout. Our experienced team navigated several hidden challenges uncovered during the build, adapting effectively while maintaining progress and quality. Careful coordination ensured the project stayed aligned with the client’s vision at every stage.

Results & Impact.

The Low Fell home is now a bright, spacious, and inviting modern property that still honours its heritage. The transformation achieved everything the client hoped for – greater functionality, enhanced aesthetics, and a renewed sense of comfort and pride in a long-held family home.

Feedback.

We at Hoults Yard were recommended GMR by an external source and as such added them to our preferred contractor list in 2022. Since then they have carried out a number of small to medium sized projects ranging from office refurbishments to full toilet refurbishments as well as providing a reactive service at short notice to assist with any on site emergencies. In the last few years we have built up a strong relationship with GMR operatives and their various sub contractors as well as the management team who thoroughly manage projects from start to finish. Whenever we have encountered supply issues they are always able to find alternative suppliers to ensure projects complete on time. Due to the nature of our business of managed workspace they have always been willing to carry out works so as not to disrupt the day to day business of our many tenants and on the occasions they have had to work alongside our tenants they have carried out works keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.

I have had the pleasure of working with GMR for over a decade across a diverse range of projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Throughout this time, they have consistently delivered work of an exceptional standard, both in terms of on-site craftsmanship and the finer details that are often overlooked but highly valued—such as politeness, punctuality, and professionalism in their interactions with tenants, clients, and myself.

One of GMR’s standout qualities is their proactive approach to project optimisation. They regularly provide timely and constructive input, offering alternative solutions and responding effectively to unforeseen challenges. Their commitment to excellence is evident not only in their technical execution but also in the pride they take in their work. A memorable example of this was during a residential refurbishment, where they went above and beyond by cutting the lawn prior to handover to ensure the property was presented at its absolute best. GMR are a reliable and conscientious contractor, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
