Yeah - I don't know about this. Can't see the purpose to ripping out brick walls or the fireplace/flue. I'm also surprised that he got permission to add to the roof. This will disturb the overall picture of the neighborhood - as they are similiar beautiful brick houses. The floors looked alright to me too - with a good sanding it would have been fine I think. Exposing the brick wall is the way to go - don't think you would have even spend that much more money here to a more faithful restoration. But it's more a remodeling 😢
Great idea to strip it out plaster/ceilings so that re wiring/plumbing is easy. I would have kept and reused as many old bricks and wood as possible. But a great job.
I’m sure I recognise my beautiful Muswell Hill area of London where Your house is located. I spent much of the 80s living in Muswell Hill and loved the area dearly. Good luck with your renovations.
The thumbnail is at the top of hillfield road I think. My old stamping ground too in the 80’s and 90’s. Wish I could go back to the mid 80’s and observe it as it was.
I have respect for your work and energy, this is a big project! I wish I had the time and energy to continue working on my house... but my job and small children hardly leave me any time to finish. A bathroom and the attic still need to be renovated
Thank you for documenting & sharing this….it’s fascinating to watch the transformation taking place on this gorgeous old house & I can’t wait to see the end result! 😁👍
Brilliant! The beautiful tiled floor they found made my heart skip a beat. I live in Australia & so many of the villa style houses have the same tiles❤
I think you are doing a wonderful job!!! I have been watching another renovation and they also have to tear down rotten wood and removing concrete floors to expose a beautiful floor underneath!!! Keep up the beautiful work you do show you care❣️
I like what I saw. Not everything that is old should be kept. There was a lot of rotten stuff which has been removed, and the removed stones, that everyone is complaining about in the comments, weren’t even visible in the original build. Well done!

I am very excited to see your renovation videos. Love the tile discovery. I'm terribly excited for you. I wonder why they would cover it up. It's beautiful. I can understand why you might replace the wood. It looks like you were showing us that some of it is rotted and falling apart. I live in a 1932 row townhouse in Baltimore, Maryland. It was renovated by someone else. I'm not renovating but if i were I'd be stripping paint off the wood, looking at the original floors instead of making do with the fake wood floors and i would think about looking at the walls and going down to studs to add insulation. But for now, I'm happy with what i have. Good luck to you! I look forward to seeing more videos. I loved this one perfectly fine.
@@intheengineroomprobably not, but even so, this house is in a conservation area meaning that the council need to approve any changes. I can tell you now, demolition would not be an option, and I also wouldn’t want it.
That is often the case when one undertakes an actual restoration. Trashing the interior and replacement of original materials is not a restoration. Preservation and repair of the building's original fabric is costly and time consuming.
After seeing you take out so many characteristic features and seeing the big steel beams being hoisted in place, I just new you were gonna build one of those big modern dormers with a thick ass roof and probably no classical trim. Should have incoorporated the gutter in the insulation in the overhang to keep the roof thin and original looking. I don't mind people replacing wooden beams. They're not visible and are gonna be replaced someday anyway. I honestly think you went too far with it man. You gotta take some responsibility when buying a classic house and accept that some features should remain even though they might be in the way. I appreciate you at least replaced the little wooden part
I’ve worked on over 50 house rehab projects and sometimes you need to tear out a lot to update the building for a modern living experience! Keep up the good work!!!
@@davidturner6642 all three chimneys were listed as unsafe from the survey inspection. We decided to keep the main chimney at the front and rebuilt it and remove the two at the rear.
Unused chimneys can cause damp issues. Most of the old fireplaces were already gone. Removing chimneys and chimney breasts below give both more floorspace and flexible living arrangements. A woodstove in one or two communal rooms is great but for modern life other fires are too much of a hazard. My own home is being renovated by the council and the chimney is going because its no longer used. There's also some kind of tax/rates charge on chimneys now too. A green energy incentive.
@michellebyrom6551 Removing chimneys may also lead to damp due to inadequate ventilation as the older properties need to breathe and can also be caused by manner or extent to which it has been removed. Removing chimneys can also cause stability issues for the property, so such work should be properly assessed by an engineer. An unused but properly maintained chimney with a suitable cowl and which has not been capped or blocked to maintain ventilation will not cause damp. The chimney (or hearth) tax was abandoned in 1689 as it proved unpopular. There is no current or planned tax on chimneys, but there are fines for excessive smoke being emitted from your chimney if you live in a smoke control area under the 1993 clean air act. You can also be subject to fines if you use an unauthorised fuel in a smoke control area.
Everything from the substance inside don't look like it's 120 years old. We bought a house build in 1903, the bricks, wood everything out of that time looks like it's handmade but yours is more straight and kind of mass produced looking.

Well...a pity. Of course we don't know the building. But I have seen massively damaged buildings where way more historic substance was salvaged. The title should be changed to "gutting and rebuilding". Good that some features will be left, but so much fell prey here to the "it's damaged so I'm just gonna tear out all". A rotten floorboard can be changed, no need to remove the entire ceiling. Plaster can be treated and strengthened, and if you use the right colours you won't get any mould later. Overall a bit triggering to sell this as "restoration".

Why did you take out the proper wooden floors and put down particle board, that was a sand and varnish away from being very beautiful. Good luck, I hope it all works out how you want it to.
@@alex29443 thanks, I needed to replace and repair the beams underneath. Some had rotten. It was impossible to lift the floorboards without splitting them.
Renovation implies that you are attempting to restore the house to the original. Beautiful house and you ripped up 120 year old floorboards to replace with chipboard! Doesn’t sound like renovation to me!
It could I’m mistaken but do you mean the word ‘restauration’? Because that is bringing something back to it’s original state. Renovating literally says re-nova-ting. Renewal of what was.
There was some obvious dry rot in some of the removed wood. It's possible that the floorboards were also affected. Finding blocked up doorways under the plaster indicates that remodelling has already occurred. This is clearly a renovation, not a restoration. I'm pleased to see that the work from the 1960s-70s covered some features leaving them protected, like the tiled floors.
No, Renovation is repairing within the condition to make good and meets current standards, improving on the building, sometimes that means replacing with up to date. Restoration is what you’re talking about. But he’s doing both. The chipboard is a subfloor to prevent drafts and creaks. It’s a brace flooring helping to rescue the joist structure as well as providing an airtight layer of insulation for both floors, it also is a level base for likely the old refinished floorboards to go back down with no concerns about the structure below. He did his due diligence to check the integrity of the joists, no point working on a house if the structure is compromised and you never know! You sound arrogant and misinformed to attack him for amazing craftsmanship and work. Praise is a good thing. I could say if you didn’t know that, then you’re plain stupid. Not nice when people don’t show their manners is it!!!?
This was absolutely terrible. You tore up the substrate and put down inferior particle board. You tore down all that old brick and threw it away??? 🤦♂️
Having renovated a Victorian property, it's better to strip out the old materials. They will be damaged from damp and contain hazardous chemicals and dust. Great job and well done on completing your renovation.
Tell me you've never renovated an old house without telling me. In the real world it almost never makes sense to start "saving" floorboards, bricks, 100yo lathe plaster walls, skirting etc. OSB isn't inferior to floorboards (nor is it particleboard), it's more stable than floorboards and a better subfloor for modern floating plank flooring.
@@stuartmay1350 don’t like new build houses, no character and often built poorly. I had to cut the floorboards to access the beams I needed to replace.
I think you are making a mistake about the materials because if you noticed the way he stacked the bricks in the skip told me they were not getting binned.He never stacked them to maximise the space in the skip.I would bet the skip drivers knew exactly where to take them to be recycled.It is all cash.

First 20 seconds the guy is removing all if the plaster i knew this was going to be a disaster. Stopped watching, went to comments which confirmed its a rip out and replace job not a renovation at all. You made a new build inside an edwardian house.
Really sad to see an old house treated in this way. Restoration is fine craft requiring an appreciation and understanding of traditional materials and craftmanship. This is the polar opposite, simply another modern refurb using inferior and cheaper materials with yet another loft conversion which are ruining the quality of our built heritage on every street.
My God what a Philistine total waste of his lovely floorboards and bricks could’ve sold them to a salvage yard. This is not restoration. It’s just doing up the house as badly as you can.
