Refurbishments

Whole House Refurbishments

We manage complete refurbishments from strip-out to final finishes, bringing new life to period and modern homes while respecting their character.

Overview

A whole-house refurbishment touches every part of a home, from structure and services to joinery, decoration and lighting. Bringing it all together under one team keeps decisions joined up and the programme calm.

We work with you from the first conversation, shaping the design around how you live, then plan and build it with the same people who drew it.

  • Design and space planning
  • Strip-out and structural work
  • New electrics, plumbing and heating
  • Bespoke joinery and storage
  • Kitchens and bathrooms
  • Decoration and final finishes

See everything that’s included

Your project pack

3D visualisation

Example: 3D walkthrough of a cinema room design.

A 3D walkthrough moves through the room as designed, so you can see the layout, joinery and finishes together before work begins.

Where included in your project, it is the easiest way to picture the finished space and to ask for changes while they are still on paper.

Layout plan

Layout plan of an open-plan kitchen, dining and living extension
Example: layout plan for a kitchen, dining and living extension.

A scaled plan of the room showing the layout, furniture and fittings, so you can check how the space works before anything is built.

Frequently asked questions

Can we live in the house during a refurbishment?

It depends on the scale of the work. For some projects, staying in part of the house works well; for others, moving out for the main works is quicker and calmer. We will talk through the options with you during planning.

How do you approach period properties?

We look closely at what is worth keeping, such as fireplaces, cornicing and original proportions, and design new work around it so old and new sit comfortably together.

Will we have one point of contact?

Yes. As a Design & Build company, one team takes your project from design through to handover, so you always know who to speak to.

How long does a whole-house refurbishment take?

Every home is different. We will give you a clear programme as part of your detailed quotation, once the design and scope are agreed.
