This multi-stage project at Tower Road, Liphook involved extensive internal structural alterations, full internal refurbishment, and a comprehensive upgrade to the external envelope of the property. Delivered across several phases, the works transformed both the functionality and appearance of the home while improving long-term durability and performance.
From structural openings and internal reconfiguration to full rendering and landscaping, this was a substantial renovation programme managed in its entirety by Rogate Construction.
Structural Alterations & Installation of Bi-Fold Doors
During the initial phase of works, we undertook significant structural alterations to the rear elevation to improve natural light and create a stronger connection between the home and garden.
This involved:
- Forming new structural openings
- Installing heavy-duty lintels
- Propping and supporting existing masonry
- Carefully quoining brickwork to ensure a seamless finish
- Installing new bi-fold doors and windows
These works required careful sequencing and structural consideration to maintain stability throughout. The result was a brighter, more open living space that better suited modern family living.
Internal Reconfiguration & Layout Improvements
As part of the same early phase, we reconfigured internal areas to improve flow and usability. This included:
- Removing redundant walls and infill sections
- Forming new stud partitions with acoustic insulation
- Creating a more open connection between kitchen and lounge
- Adjusting circulation areas to optimise space
Temporary partitions were installed to allow works to progress safely while protecting completed areas.
The revised layout significantly improved spatial efficiency and created a more contemporary feel throughout the ground floor.
WC Relocation & Window Alterations
The existing WC was reworked to improve both practicality and natural light.
Works included:
- Forming a new window opening
- Relocating the existing window and infilling the redundant opening
- Installing new stud walls with acoustic insulation
- Refitting sanitaryware
- Carrying out associated drainage and service alterations
Careful detailing ensured the external façade remained cohesive despite structural adjustments.
Drainage & Service Upgrades
To accommodate the revised internal layout, new soil connections and drainage alterations were carried out. These works ensured compliance and long-term reliability.
Electrical installations were upgraded in stages throughout the project, including provision for future flexibility as layouts were finalised.
Plastering, Bathrooms & Joinery Works
Extensive plastering was undertaken across the staircase, lounge, WC and bathroom areas to create a consistent, high-quality finish ready for decoration.
Bathroom installation works included tiling and sanitaryware fitting, while carpentry works covered:
- Internal door adjustments and hanging
- Bespoke cupboard installations
- Stair joinery elements
- Skirtings and architraves
Later completion-phase works included floor levelling, latex preparation and installation of floor finishes to ensure a clean, durable result.
External Rendering – Full Elevation Upgrade
One of the most visually transformative elements of the project was the complete rendering of all elevations.
Carried out in a later phase of works, this involved:
- Preparation and cleaning of all external walls
- Removal of fixtures as required
- Installation of a traditional render system across all elevations
- Full scaffold access with boarded working platforms
The new render dramatically modernised the property’s appearance while providing improved weather resistance and long-term protection to the building fabric.
This upgrade is a defining feature of the completed project.
Roofing Works & Rainwater Goods Replacement
To ensure the integrity of the external envelope, the lower roof section was stripped and re-tiled using materials carefully selected to match the existing roof.
Associated works included:
- Lead detailing
- Mortar finishing
- Replacement of fascias, soffits and guttering in anthracite UPVC
These improvements enhanced both durability and visual coherence across the property.
Patio Construction & Driveway Installation
The final stage of works focused on landscaping and external functionality.
To the rear, we constructed a new patio area, including:
- Excavation and level reduction
- Compacted MOT sub-base
- Installation of natural limestone paving
- Silica-based jointing compound
To the front, we upgraded the driveway with:
- Decorative chippings
- Appropriate sub-base preparation
- Granite set detailing
- New drainage connections
New limestone steps were formed to both front and rear elevations, ensuring safe access and visual continuity.
External Electrical Installations
External upgrades also included:
- Installation of extractor fans
- New external lighting and high-level floodlight
- External double sockets
- Provision for an EV charging point
- Power supply to the shed
- Additional roof-space lighting and services
These additions improved functionality while future-proofing the property.
Project Management & Delivery
This project was delivered across multiple coordinated phases, allowing works to progress efficiently while maintaining high standards throughout.
Rogate Construction managed:
- Structural sequencing
- Trade coordination
- Compliance with Building Regulations
- Programme management
- Quality control
The phased approach allowed the client to undertake a substantial renovation programme in a controlled and structured manner.
The Result
The completed works have transformed this Liphook property internally and externally.
Internally, the layout is brighter, more functional and better suited to modern living. Externally, the new render, roofing works, rainwater goods and landscaping have significantly enhanced kerb appeal and long-term durability.
The combination of structural alteration, full refurbishment and external envelope upgrade represents a comprehensive and high-value renovation.
