Renovations
A renovation lives or dies on the trades. Bad coordination means the plumber waits a week on the electrician, the stopper turns up before the carpenter is finished, and your project bleeds time. We hold the schedule tight.
What we do, end to end
One contract for the whole job, from the first site visit through to handover, with us booking and running every trade on it.

- 06Joinery, fixtures and final fit-off
Before and after
The same job, at the two moments that matter.
Renovations on site
Our own jobs, start to finish.
Where the value sits
Trade coordination
Every trade is sequenced and held to the day. We are on site managing the handovers. You are not chasing seven subcontractors for a status update.
Insulation and weathertightness
A renovation is the cheapest time you will ever have to fix a cold or leaky house. We bring what we touch up to current code while the wall is open.
Character protected
Period homes carry detail worth keeping. We catalogue and reinstate skirtings, cornices and architraves, or replace them with a sympathetic match if they are past saving.
Handover with the list closed
We finish a job clean. Final walk-through with the snag list, and we close it before we hand the keys back.
We will tell you honestly whether renovations is the right call for your place.

Worth knowing
before you ring
How do we find out what the renovation will actually cost?
In two stages. First a free site visit and an honest range. Then, if you are going ahead, a paid scope-of-work investigation, credited against the build, that uncovers the unknowns: old wiring, poor framing, unconsented work. We price the job after that, not before, because a renovation quote written without opening anything up is a guess.
Should I move out during the renovation?
If we are touching the kitchen, the only bathroom and the main living space at once, usually yes, for the worst of it. Smaller scope and you can stay. We will be straight with you about which one you have when we plan the staging.
Can you fix unconsented work that is already there?
Often, yes. A Certificate of Acceptance from council can retrospectively recognise the work once it has been inspected and brought up to code. It is slower than a fresh consent and it is not guaranteed, but it usually beats ripping the lot out.
What is the smallest job you will take?
We are set up for full-room renovations and larger. Below that you are usually better served by a smaller outfit, and we will say so and point you somewhere useful.
Every job starts the same way: we come and look at it.
