The work we take on

Every image below is marked Indicative — it shows the kind of work we do, not a photograph of an SG job. We would rather say that than let you assume. Each one is replaced by our own photograph as jobs complete and hand over.

Before and after

Drag to see it change

Each pair is the same view twice: a room, a roof or an elevation partway through, and the same thing finished. Drag the handle across.

Marbled stone panels reach floor to ceiling behind a pedestal basin with cross-head taps and exposed pipework.
Pale tiling carries on under a glass screen to a square gully set into the shower floor.
Indicative

Bathroom

A pedestal basin with exposed pipework, and a level-access shower in its place.

A bar mid-fit with the floor still protected, and a finished bar back in trade.

A two-storey rear extension under construction on a pebbledash semi, its blockwork shell wrapped in scaffolding.
A white-rendered rear extension with full-height dark sliding doors onto a paved terrace and steps down to a lawn.
Indicative

The back of an ordinary semi, and the same elevation opened up.

The ceiling paper has come away in water-stained strips above lifted boards and a rolled-back carpet.
Pale boards lead across an empty white room to a glazed door with a guard rail behind it.

Both sides of each pair are indicative photographs, not an SG job. Each is replaced by the first real pair for that work — one photograph before, one of the same spot finished.
