Home renovation · Refurbishment
A refurbishment company in London that runs the whole job.
Refurbishing a house or flat means a dozen trades, a building inspector and a lot of decisions. We plan it, sequence it and manage every trade, so you deal with one person and one fixed written quote from strip out to handover.
What a full refurbishment
can include.
Most projects combine several of these. We price them together so nothing falls between two contractors.
Strip out and structure
Old finishes removed, walls opened up with steel beams, chimney breasts taken out and floors levelled, with engineer's calculations and Building Control sign off.
Kitchens
Layout, units, worktops and appliances, with the plumbing, gas and electrics moved to suit the new plan.
Bathrooms and ensuites
Full refits and wet rooms, tanked before tiling, with new waste runs and extraction.
Rewiring and heating
Full or partial rewires by registered electricians, new consumer units, boilers and radiators fitted by Gas Safe registered engineers.
Plastering and joinery
Walls and ceilings replastered or skimmed, doors, skirtings and architraves replaced or restored.
Flooring and decoration
Subfloors prepared, wood, tile or carpet laid, then decoration inside and out.
Extensions and lofts
Rear and side return extensions or a loft conversion, built alongside the internal work.
Flats and rentals
Refurbishments between tenancies and in leasehold flats, planned around managing agents and access rules.
A clear path from
first call to handover.
We walk the property with you, note what you want and check the structure, services and condition.
An itemised written quote and a programme showing when each trade is on site.
Building Control, party wall notices and leaseholder consents arranged before work starts.
Every trade sequenced and supervised by one point of contact, with regular updates.
Snagging walked together and certificates handed over before the final account.
What a refurbishment company should do for you.
Hiring separate trades for a refurbishment sounds cheaper until you are the one coordinating them. The electrician cannot finish until the plasterer has been, the plasterer is waiting on the plumber, and nobody owns the delay. A refurbishment company takes that job off you, and takes responsibility for the result.
It also changes how problems are handled. Every refurbishment uncovers something, whether it is rotten joists under a bathroom, old wiring behind a wall or a chimney breast with no support. With one contractor, the problem is assessed, priced and solved without an argument about whose job it is.
One point of contact
One person runs the project, books the trades, chases materials and answers your questions. You are not left coordinating a dozen separate tradespeople, and decisions are recorded so nothing is lost between site visits.
One fixed written quote
Every trade is priced together and itemised. If you change the brief, the change is priced in writing before work goes ahead. You know where the budget stands at every stage, and there is no surprise bill at the end.
Trades in the right order
First fix, plastering, second fix and finishes follow a programme, so nothing is chased out of a finished wall. Materials with long lead times, such as kitchens, windows and stone worktops, are ordered early so the programme does not stall.
Certificates at the end
Electrical certificates, gas safety records and the Building Control completion certificate are collected and handed to you. You will need them when you sell, remortgage or let the property, so we make sure none are missing.
House and flat refurbishment across London.
Victorian and Edwardian houses
The usual brief is opening up the ground floor, a new kitchen and bathroom, rewiring and replastering. Period details such as cornices, fireplaces and sash windows are kept where you want them. These houses often hide surprises, from undersized joists to old lead pipework, so we open up and check key areas before the programme is fixed.
Mansion blocks and purpose built flats
Flats bring building rules: working hours, protection for common parts, lift bookings and noise. We agree these with the managing agent before we start. We also check the lease for any restrictions on flooring, which often requires acoustic underlay in upper floor flats.
Rental and void refurbishments
For landlords we refurbish between tenancies, bring the property up to current standards and issue the certificates needed to re let. That includes the gas safety record, EICR and EPC, and any smoke and carbon monoxide alarms required. Work is planned to keep the void period as short as possible.
Planning, approvals and paperwork.
Building Control
Structural alterations, new circuits, drainage changes and new windows all fall under Building Regulations. We notify and arrange inspections, and keep the inspector's sign off for each stage.
Party wall
Work to a shared wall, such as inserting steel beams, needs notices served on neighbours before it starts. We prepare and serve these early so neighbours have time to respond.
Leasehold consent
Most leases require written consent for alterations. We prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder asks for.
Questions we get
asked most.
It depends on scope. A flat refresh may take a few weeks, a whole house with structural work several months. The fixed quote includes a programme.
Sometimes, by working room by room. For a full strip out most clients move out, which is faster and safer.
