This was no off-the-shelf bathroom renovation. With the clients living on site, keen to reuse materials and be involved, the Curry team worked in true partnership to deliver something special. Site lead Gary Pimblett became both project manager and mentor – teaching basic joinery and managing expectations with patience and care, whilst Nick Curry liaised with the clients providing reassurance on priorities and costs. Every detail was handled with skill, from salvaging oak skirting and turning an old sideboard into a feature nook, to the installation of RSJs to support a bath without disturbing the kitchen ceiling below. Challenging roof angles, persistent rainfall, a leaking neighbouring property and narrow timelines added pressure. But the team stayed calm, resourceful, and communicative – realigning resources, bringing in trusted craftspeople, and co-ordinating work with empathy and professionalism. The result is a unique, high-quality bathroom that retains character while delivering comfort and function. Judges praised the ‘high quality craftsmanship and finish’ and ‘genuine collaboration with the client’ that brought this memorable space to life. Clients Sarah and David Boycott said ‘Nick and his team made us feel not just clients but also part of the team’. I J Curry & Son didn’t just renovate a bathroom – they built trust, creativity, and something truly personal.
