Sector: Residential
Scope: Drylining | Partitions | Plastering | MF Ceilings | Insulation | Fire Stopping | Airtightness Detailing
Location: 83 Roehampton Lane, London, SW15 5NU
Project overview
Berrymeads is a new-build, concrete-framed residential building at 83 Roehampton Lane, London SW15, comprising eight self-contained flats, two guest rooms and communal areas, including a prayer room and solarium, across three storeys. GA Interiors Ltd delivered the internal partitions, wall and ceiling finishes, fire-rated access panels, mechanical pipe casings and passive house airtightness detailing as sub-contractor to main contractor LIFE Build (Life Build Solutions Limited).
The package was let under a JCT Intermediate Sub-Contract and sequenced floor by floor through the risers, wall linings, ceilings, skimming and fire stopping stages.
Our scope
GA Interiors carried out the following works throughout the building:
- Bespoke stud partitions built to the architect’s drawings, including a studded dwarf wall to the solarium and a plywood-lined feature wall to the sitting and dining room, around 3.76m floor to ceiling, with mineral wool infill and a skim finish
- Two-coat gypsum plaster to new block and concrete walls, columns, reveals and stair and landing soffits, with a 3mm Thistle Multi-Finish skim to plasterboard areas, all to NHBC standard with galvanised angles and stop beads
- Gyproc Casoline MF ceilings to the flats and communal stair core in foil-backed Duplex, twin-layer Soundbloc and twin-layer Soundbloc Moisture Resistant builds, up to 3.3m high and up to 5.3m in the staircase
- MF-framed bulkheads at every change in ceiling height, including rooflight linings up to 1200mm deep
- 60-minute fire-rated Gyproc Profilex FR1 access panels in the ceilings and Handi-Access panels in the vertical pipe casings
- Plasterboard pipe casings on softwood framing, with moisture-resistant board where required and mineral wool infill for acoustic and thermal performance
- Passive House Standard airtight grommets and Argo Plus tape to every pipe, cable and duct penetration through slabs, external walls and soffits
Challenges and solutions
- Restricted site: with no on-site parking and limited access and storage on Roehampton Lane, deliveries and trade sequencing were closely coordinated to keep the programme on track.
- Airtightness: every service penetration was sealed with PHS grommets and Argo Plus tape to support the building’s air permeability targets.
- Fire compartmentation with access: FR1 fire-rated access panels kept compartmentation intact while leaving services above the ceilings accessible.
- Varied ceiling performance: board builds were matched to the acoustic and moisture needs of each area, with the full soffit finished in a matching Thistle Multi-Finish skim.

- Fire and acoustically rated party walls
- MF suspended ceilings to British Gypsum specifications
- Insulation and fire stopping

- Trade coordination: works were sequenced to keep access clear for services and follow-on trades, in line with the programme.
- Quality and safety: managed through regular inspections and adherence to site protocols.

Sector: Residential
Scope: SFS | Drylining | Partitions | Plastering | Tape & Joint | Insulation | Fire Stopping | Suspended Ceilings | MF Ceilings
Location: Aylesbury Estate FDS B, 370 Albany Road, London, SE5 0AJ
Project overview
The Aylesbury Estate transformation is a major regeneration project in Walworth, South London, delivering 384 energy-efficient homes as part of the wider redevelopment of the estate.
GA Interiors Ltd worked with Southwark Council and The Hill Group (Hill Partnerships Ltd) on the internal fit-out of First Development Site (FDS) B, under a JCT Design and Build sub-contract. The building reached roof level in March 2023 and was completed in 2024.
The wider Aylesbury Estate regeneration is planned to deliver up to 3,575 mixed tenure homes, alongside employment, retail, healthcare and community spaces, supporting the long-term regeneration of the area and creating new opportunities for local residents.
Our scope
GA Interiors delivered the internal fit-out and soffit packages:
- SFS
- Metal stud partitions and drylining
- Plastering and tape and joint finishes
- MF ceilings and suspended ceilings
- Soffit boarding and insulation to balconies, external walkways, bin and bike stores and block entrances
- Fire stopping
The soffit package was extended in April 2023 to take in additional areas as the building progressed.
Challenges and solutions
- Dust control: Hill’s site rules banned dry sweeping, so the team worked with approved extraction and vacuum equipment during and after cutting, in line with HSE guidance.
- Soffit finish: soffits were fitted with tight cutting around penetrations and a maximum edge gap of 10mm to meet Hill’s quality standard.
- Working to site sequence: balcony soffits were completed in batches to suit the site team’s sequence, with snagging of our own works recorded before handover.
Outcome
FDS B was completed in 2024, adding energy-efficient homes to the first phase of the estate’s regeneration.
