Recent General Building Work

Bathroom Refurbishment

We’ve completed a full bathroom refurbishment, transforming this space into a clean, modern, and practical room ready for everyday use. From start to finish, everything was taken care of – including a brand new shower area with a glass screen, fresh flooring, and a fully installed toilet suite.

Attention to detail is what we’re all about, and we take pride in delivering a high-quality finish that not only looks great but is built to last.

If your bathroom is in need of an upgrade, we’ve got you covered.

Plastering Restoration

A solid week from the Trade Rescue 24/7 plastering team 💪

From fresh skims to full room transformations, the lads have been hard at work delivering smooth finishes and top-quality results across every job. Attention to detail, clean work, and happy customers — exactly what we’re about.

If your walls or ceilings need bringing back to life, you know who to call.

Building Upgrade

Another upgrade by Trade Rescue 24/7 🔨

We’ve removed two old, tired windows and blocked the openings using lightweight fibre blocks, creating a solid, insulated base ready for rendering.

Everything has been prepped properly to ensure a seamless finish once the render goes on — no patch jobs, just clean, professional work built to last.

Ideal for homeowners and landlords looking to modernise, improve insulation, or reconfigure a space.
