Renovations & Refurbishments
Whole-house work, including the difficult ones
Renovating a whole house is a different animal to extending one. There's no clean start: you're working with what's there, and what's there is rarely what the previous owner said it was. Old wiring, failed damp courses, joists notched to nothing, a chimney breast someone removed without a lintel.
Sarah Cowper's review is the honest version of how that goes: "There were a number of difficult challenges during the build and their 'can do' problem-solving approach was invaluable." We'd rather be judged on that than on a job where nothing went wrong.
A survey that opens things up
Before we price a full renovation we want to look under floors and behind boxing. It's not a formality — the difference between a guess and a real number on a whole-house job is usually found in the first hour of poking about.
Phased, so you can live with it
Full renovations can often be phased: one floor at a time, or services first and finishes later. We'll set out the options and what each one costs you in time and money, and you choose.
Every trade under one programme
Strip-out, structure, first fix plumbing and electrics, plaster, second fix, decoration. One programme, one project manager, one number to ring — rather than you becoming the unpaid coordinator of six separate trades.
