Case Study: Landlord Refurbishment/Carpentry in Boscombe Rental Flat

Client: Private Landlord
Location: Boscombe, Bournemouth
Service Focus: Structural and cosmetic carpentry for fast rental turnaround
Duration: 5 working days
Overview

A private landlord in Bournemouth contacted RV Roofing & Building for urgent internal carpentry repairs on a two-bedroom rental flat in Boscombe. With new tenants scheduled to move in the following week, time was tight to address several structural and cosmetic issues left by the previous occupants.

The task was clear: restore key timber elements to a safe, smart and lettable standard – without overshooting budget or delaying the tenancy.

Challenges Initial inspection revealed multiple problems:
  • Sagging floorboards and weakened joists in the living area
  • Moisture-damaged internal doors that no longer closed properly
  • Cracked and poorly secured window boards in both bedrooms
  • Scuffed architraves, loose skirting and visible cosmetic damage throughout

All work had to be completed within five days, with minimal disruption to the rest of the building. Materials needed to be affordable, robust and suited to a high-turnover rental property.

Approach

We mobilised a two-person carpentry team the very next day. Our strategy was to balance efficiency with care – prioritising tasks to maximise output while maintaining high standards of finish and compliance.

Structural Floor Repairs

We lifted and examined all damaged floorboards. Several joists showed wear and signs of past damp ingress. After treating the timber, we added new support noggins and replaced compromised joists with pressure-treated timber, finishing with new 22mm chipboard boards, levelled and fixed securely.

Door Replacement and Hanging

Three interior doors were too warped to salvage. We sourced pre-finished white panel doors, planed them to fit and installed new hardware – including hinges, handles and latches – giving the flat a clean, modern and durable update.

Window Board Renewal

The window boards were removed and replaced with new primed MDF, securely fixed and sealed for a flush, professional finish.

Cosmetic Joinery

We repaired loose skirting and architraves throughout, replacing where necessary and filling surface damage to restore a tidy, consistent appearance.

Outcome

All works were completed on schedule by the end of day five. Final inspection and clean-up were carried out on the morning of handover. The property was returned to the landlord fully lettable, with no snags or delays.

The landlord noted that we;
  • Quickly identify and fix key timber issues
  • Sourced quality materials within budget
  • Provided daily progress updates and meet the tight schedule
Client Feedback

“I’ve worked with various trades over the years, but RV were easily the most organised and responsive. They understood what needed doing and what could wait. The place looks great – tenants moved in just two days later.” – Mr. Taylor, Landlord
