Renovation and refurbishment
Structural and cosmetic works on a fixed programme, from a single room through to a full strip-out and fit-out. Everything is quoted in writing after a site survey, and the price does not move once you have signed it off, unless you ask us to change the scope.
What is included
What we take on
We quote a kitchen the same way we quote a full refurbishment: itemised, in writing, after seeing the property.
Refurbishment
Cosmetic and functional upgrades for offices, retail units and flats.
- Office strip-out and fit-out
- End-of-tenancy refurbishment
- Decorating and finishing
- Tiling and carpentry
- Period property restoration
Consents and compliance
The paperwork the works depend on, identified at survey stage.
- Building control applications and inspections
- Planning permission where the work requires it
- Party wall notices identified early
- Listed and conservation area constraints flagged
- Certificates collected and handed over
Typical clients
Who this is for
The scope changes with the building. The way it is priced and run does not.
Residential
Landlords, investors and owner-occupiers.
Flat and house renovation, kitchens and bathrooms, reconfiguration, and refurbishment between tenancies. In period buildings we repair original detail rather than replace it where the fabric allows.
Commercial
Offices, retail units and managing agents.
Strip-out and fit-out, partitioning, and making good at lease end. Works are staged around trading hours or building access where the unit stays occupied.
Process
How the job runs
A renovation runs on the same four stages as a single repair, with more detail at the survey. Site survey, fixed written quote, scheduled works, then a joint sign-off. See the full process.
Can the fixed price change?
Only if you ask us to change or add to the scope, or if something is found that could not reasonably have been identified at survey, such as a concealed defect. Any change is agreed in writing before the work is carried out.
Do you handle building control or planning permission?
Where work requires building control sign-off or planning permission, we identify this at survey stage and coordinate the applications and inspections as part of the project.
Can we stay in the property during the works?
Sometimes, depending on the scope. Where the work affects the kitchen, the bathroom or the services, we will tell you at survey stage what will be out of use and for roughly how long, so you can decide.
Do you work in listed buildings and conservation areas?
Yes. The constraints are identified at survey stage, because they affect both the scope and the consents needed. Where consent is required we coordinate the application before works start.
How long does a refurbishment take?
It depends entirely on the scope and the building. You get a programme with the quote, so the dates are agreed in writing before anything starts.
Send us the scope and we will survey and quote it.
Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 18:00.
