Lutonlets.co.uk take great pride in the quality of the homes offered for rent. We go to great lengths to ensure that each and every home is prepared to a very high standard, and often this will mean extensive renovation is undertaken when acquiring a new property before we will even consider releasing it for rent. Below are a few past examples of simple makeovers. More recent examples of renovations completed by our quality approved sub-contractor can be found by clicking here. Case study 1: Kitchen renovation Below Left (large image): As we found it; the original 25 year old kitchen. Oh dear... Below Right (small image): Literally hundreds of dated, 1970's tiles are hammer-chiseled from the walls, and the stripped-back kitchen is re-plastered before new plumbing is installed. Above Left (small image): New top-quality 18mm carcass factory-assembled kitchen units await installation, and, finally Above Right (large image): The finished kitchen; new cupboard units, new twin-bowl sink and mixer tap, new low-voltage lighting, new wood flooring, new plumbing, new plasterwork, new electrical wiring and tiling - even a new double-glazed window. New appliances include a top-of-the-range Zanussi washer/dryer to complement the new Zanussi 'frost-free' fridge/freezer and new built-in fan-assisted cooker (out of shot). Case study 2: Kitchen refresh Below Left: Re-wiring and plaster work commences on another kitchen of a recently acquired rental home. Above Right: Re-wired, plastered, tiled and painted, with a full central heating boiler service (only CORGI registered gas fitters are used) and new digital programmer to ensure safety and reliability. New wooden skirtings, through door and plasterwork ceiling coving add those all important detail touches. Even the garden fencework (seen through the kitchen window) has been upgraded, also being heightened to afford greater privacy. Below (inset) More electrical work to install new counter-height sockets, before re- plastering, installing replacement gas pipe-work for the cooker, tiling and painting. Kitchen cupboards are refitted to include a new 'Whirlpool' gas hob, electric fan-assisted  oven, and overhead re-circulating/filtration fan. Above (main): The finished kitchen, with a new larder fridge/freezer and maple wood- laminate flooring. Under cupboard (worktop) lighting adds a practical, yet thoughtful finishing touch. Case study 3: Bathroom renovation Below: The original bathroom on the left with 1960's w.c. and handbasin is gutted: A new contemporary w.c. with matching cistern, handbasin, and taps, with retiled walls and 'raised' carpeting is deliberately styled to offer a welcoming and cosy feeling without losing a fresh, modern appeal in what is a small bathroom of a 1930's cottage. These features are complimented with the installation of a new 9.5kw electronic touch- button shower, folding shower screen, a heated towel rail in place of a conventional radiator, recessed lighting, and complimentary taps and other fitments. At a functional level, the bathroom has been entirely re-plumbed and rewired. The small size demands good ventilation; whilst the double-glazed window opens, a through- wall extraction fan is fitted to afford greater privacy whilst showering, and a wall- mounted dimplex fan heater offers quick bathroom heat whilst also minimising steam build-up from the shower on colder winter mornings.
