Fire in detached York home

A fire in the upstairs floor void caused serious damage to Mr Blackwell’s four-bedroomed detached home in York. The upstairs was completely destroyed, while there was smoke and water damage throughout the property. Bedfords Surveyors were appointed to oversee the reinstatement project.

Mr Blackwell decided to take the opportunity to extend the property into the roof and to the rear. The result is a magnificent five-bedroomed detached property, with a bright garden room and a modern kitchen opening out on to a lovely terrace. The house is equipped to the highest specifications including parquet floors and electronic controls.

Bedfords successfully managed both the insurance and private works, taking the project from initial strip out and design for the reinstatement and extension through to completion.
