HOUZZ REVIEW
—— REDBOX LONDON
Introduction
Mrs H, a professional working in financial services, came to Red Box with the remit to take a tired looking two bedroom flat in a smart residential part of London and transform to a contemporary high spec rental property. With little time available for her to manage the project, Red Box took full control of the work, undertaking it and sourcing all products with minimal effort and input from the client.
The client wanted a company that would fully project manage the work, help source products and make recommendations. She had defined ideas on the look and feel of what she wanted, and also wanted a company that would support and maintain the property in the future – a service that Red Box could offer.
Red Box communicate better than most mid-sized building companies. The client was a busy professional and unable to attend the property throughout most of the project. We updated her with regular email communications and photographs. Issues and the need for decisions were addressed in a timely fashion and this led to the project being delivered speedily.

Challenges
Pain points
The existing structure of the flat was good but the fittings and decorations were very dated.
Problems
The hot water and central heating system were old and inefficient. We upgraded to a modern green boiler and high-efficiency cylinder. A water pump made sure that shower pressure was excellent, and was sound insulated and decoupled to minimise noise.
