Bedroom renovation with fitted storage in Slough
Two bedrooms in a Slough home re-plastered, decorated and floored over three weeks in mid 2025, with the top-floor bedroom finished in fitted wardrobes built into the roof slope.
- LocationWexham Court, Slough (outside London), SL2
- PropertyHouse with a top-floor bedroom under the roof slope
- PhotographedJune to July 2025
- Estimated cost£4,675 to £9,975 + VAT
The starting point
Two bedrooms needed taking back to fresh plaster: one still had bright pink paint on the door and walls, and the top-floor room had a sloping ceiling that made ordinary furniture hard to fit.
What we did
- Both rooms re-plastered on walls and ceilings.
- Decorated in white once the plaster had dried.
- Wood-effect flooring laid.
- The top-floor bedroom fitted with wardrobes and storage cut to the roof slope, plus downlights.
