It’s been a little while since we’ve posted anything – things have been non-stop here at BTN Developments – but here’s a progress update on a bathroom renovation we’re currently halfway through.

Quite the transformation so far!

As with many renovations, once we stripped everything back to the bare walls, we uncovered a few surprises. Rotten joists and floorboards needed replacing, along with heating and hot & cold pipework that had to be relocated.

Once all that was sorted, we moved on to the first fix plumbing and electrical work before installing fresh plasterboard and a full tanking system around the shower enclosure to make sure it’s built properly and built to last.

Then came the tiling, which also gave us the perfect excuse to put our new Rubi wet bridge saw to work! 😉 Safe to say we’re happy with that purchase.

We also installed a brand-new timber-framed cladded ceiling, as the existing ceiling wasn’t exactly true or level. 🤨

The shower enclosure is now fitted, sealed, and ready to use, with just the finishing touches left to complete.

We’ll share the final photos next week, along with updates on a few of the other projects we’ve got on the go.

On a personal note, I’ve never really been much of a salesman – I’m a builder. I know social media is important, but I’d rather show honest work than try to sell a dream. It’s just not who I am.

So I’ll keep posting when I can, even if it’s not as often as others. I’d rather let the standard of our work speak for itself.

Thanks to everyone who continues to support, like, share and recommend us – it really is appreciated.

Stay true to yourself, work hard, and the rest will follow.

Another part of this house renovation project ticked off the list 🔨🏡

It’s been a little quiet on this renovation recently because we’ve been busy behind the scenes, but we can finally share some update photos from last week’s work — including the replacement windows, fascias, soffits, guttering, and brand-new front door.

As you can see, the downstairs uPVC windows and fascias were next on the list and have now been fully replaced. The new flush-style uPVC windows perfectly match the upstairs windows installed last year, keeping the design consistent throughout the property.

We also fitted a brand-new solid composite front door in agate grey to complement the new windows and give the front of the house a fresh modern look.

The existing fascias downstairs had definitely seen better days, so everything was stripped back and replaced with new OSB-backed fascias, soffits, and guttering for a clean, durable finish. As an added touch, we installed spotlights into the soffits to really enhance the front exterior during the evenings.

Next up on this renovation project is a brand-new brick skin beneath the windows, along with decorative rendering on the pillars to complete the outside transformation. Once the exterior is finished, we’ll be moving inside to continue the renovation.

If you’re looking to upgrade your windows and doors, planning a home renovation, extension, or any other project big or small — we’re here to help. Even if it’s just some friendly advice, feel free to get in touch.

What a transformation

What started as a small repair quickly turned into a full roof replacement—and for good reason.

We were called out late last year to resolve an issue, but after a full inspection it was clear the roof had reached the end of its lifespan. The tiles had become porous, the felt had failed, and ongoing water ingress had already caused rot in the battens. At that point, a repair simply wouldn’t have lasted.

So we stripped everything right back to the original trusses and rebuilt the roof properly from the ground up.

Scope of works
:• Full strip of existing tiles, battens, and felt
• Installation of new breathable membrane
• Treated roof battens fitted throughout
• Brand new roof tiles installed
• Mechanically fixed ridge system
• Dry verge system for a clean, low-maintenance finish

We also completely renewed the fascias, soffits, and guttering—installing durable OSB-backed fascias and newly framed soffits to strengthen the entire roofline. Vent discs were added to improve airflow, helping the property breathe and reducing the risk of condensation and mould.

The result is a strong, weatherproof roof built to last—an enormous upgrade from what was there before.

If you think your property may need attention,whether it’s a small repair or a full renovation,BTN Developments are here to help. We’re always happy to offer advice with no obligation.

After many years of debate about replacing a ducted air system with a combi boiler and radiators we spoke to Dan from DSM. We explained our concerns and requirements and he came back with a quote and well thought out installations options. Ross and Flynn arrived and were a good team - competent and polite lads who we were happy to have in our home.
We needed plastering and building work plus decoration before the job could be fully completed. The system was setup - Ross kindly came to fit a radiator on a Friday evening when we were out. At this stage minus 3 radiators but we had heating and hot water.
DSM liaised with BTN Developments - Ben plastered the kitchen wall and did all the fix jobs required following the removal of ducted air grates , strengthening the unit wall for radiator attachment - again excellent work.
Ross then returned to fit the final radiators and fully implement the Hive system.
DSM allocated plenty of time for the job and at no stage we felt they were rushing to complete the work.
We are delighted with our heating upgrade - it was much less intrusive than we thought it would be. It was a big project for DSM to manage. There was no damage to the house as we had been concerned about our wooden and tiled floors.
Well done Ross and Flynn for the installation and Dan for the project management.

We would definitely recommend DSM.

Another project completed — and what a transformation! 👏

This driveway was tired and worn out, but with the right approach, we’ve completely turned it around. Finished with dual granite Kielder paving and a sleek charcoal border, it now has a clean, modern look that’s built to stand the test of time.

It’s not just about appearance either — we installed an ACO drain system to ensure water drains away properly, preventing any future build-up issues. A recessed manhole cover keeps everything looking seamless and tidy.

To finish things off, we added a timber sleeper planter, bringing a bit of warmth and character to the space 🌿

Simple, effective, and completely refreshed — this project shows exactly what a well-executed overhaul can achieve.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your driveway or starting a home improvement project, we’ve got you covered. From full renovations to smaller internal and external works, we’re here to help every step of the way.
