One Team, From Strip-Out to Final Coat of Paint

A full renovation touches every trade in a build — structural, electrical, plumbing, plastering and decorating — which is exactly why it goes wrong when it’s coordinated by the homeowner juggling six separate contractors.

Our recent renovation of a Victorian terrace house in Whitstable is a good example of what a full renovation actually involves: two dormer extensions and a rear ground-floor extension to add space, taking the property from three bedrooms to three double bedrooms and from one bathroom to three, alongside a complete rewire, replumbing, underfloor heating and a new kitchen with granite worktops. Every wall and ceiling in the house was replastered and the whole property redecorated before handover.

That project ran for 16 weeks and cost £105,000 — figures we mention not to suggest every renovation costs the same, but because real numbers are more useful to you than vague reassurance. Your own renovation will be scoped and quoted based on the actual condition and layout of your house.

Because we carry out the structural, electrical and groundworks elements ourselves rather than subcontracting them out piecemeal, a renovation with us runs to a single programme with one point of accountability — not a sequence of trades who each blame the last one for delays.

Renovations, Done Properly

🧱

Structural Changes

Removing walls, adding extensions or dormers, and reconfiguring layouts — the structural core of most renovation projects.

  • Structural openings and steel beam installation
  • Extensions and dormers as part of the same project
  • Building Regulations handled throughout

Rewiring & Plumbing

Older houses being renovated almost always need updated electrics and plumbing, done properly rather than worked around.

  • Full or partial rewires by our own electricians
  • New plumbing runs and bathroom relocations
  • Underfloor heating where specified
🚿

Kitchens & Bathrooms

The rooms that make the biggest difference to how a renovated house actually feels day to day.

  • New kitchen installation, tiling and worktops
  • Additional bathrooms and en-suites
  • Fixtures and finishes sourced to your budget
🎨

Plastering & Decoration

The finishing stage that turns a building site back into a home — done to the same standard throughout the property, not just in the rooms that show.

  • Full replastering of walls and ceilings
  • Flooring coordination
  • Complete internal redecoration

Our Process

Survey & Scope

We survey the whole property, not just the room you’re focused on, since renovation work often uncovers issues that need addressing as part of the same project.

Design & Approvals

Structural changes, extensions or dormers are designed and, where needed, submitted for planning permission and Building Regulations approval.

Strip-Out & Structural Work

The property is stripped back, structural changes made, and services first-fixed.

Fit-Out & Finish

Kitchens, bathrooms, plastering, flooring and decoration bring the house to completion, finishing on the same standard throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live in the house during a full renovation?

It depends on the scope — a renovation involving structural work, a full rewire and replumbing throughout is very difficult to live through comfortably, and most clients in that position choose to move out temporarily. Smaller, phased renovations are often manageable to live through. We’ll give you an honest view of what your specific project involves.

How do you price a renovation when so much depends on what you find once you start?

We survey as thoroughly as possible upfront, including checking accessible areas of wiring, plumbing and structure, to minimise surprises. Where something genuinely can’t be assessed until walls are opened up, we agree a clear process for pricing any additional work before it’s carried out, not after the invoice arrives.

Do renovations need planning permission?

Internal renovation work generally doesn’t, but extensions, dormers or changes to the external appearance carried out as part of the same project usually do need checking against planning and Building Regulations requirements, which we handle for you.

How long does a full house renovation take?

Our recent full renovation of a Whitstable terrace, including two dormer extensions and a rear extension, took 16 weeks. A renovation without structural extensions is often quicker; one covering a larger property or more extensive structural work can take longer. We give you a realistic programme once we’ve scoped your project.
