Service overview
Whole-house refurbishments, delivered to programme
What it is
A full renovation covers strip-out, structural alterations, re-wire, re-plumb, new heating, new kitchens and bathrooms, joinery, decoration and finishing, all sequenced under one construction programme. Extensions and loft conversions can sit inside the same contract.
Who it's for
Owners of a newly-purchased London property preparing to move in, buy-to-let investors preparing a property for a higher rent, and current owners taking the house 'back to brick' before a decade in it.
When you need it
The typical triggers are: a house purchase where the property is tired, dark or badly laid out; a return from abroad; or the decision to hold and improve rather than sell and move.
Why professional matters
A whole-house refurbishment is dozens of trades in the correct order under one programme. Getting the sequence wrong, plaster before first-fix, tile before waterproofing, decoration before dust-generating trades, is what makes cheap renovations run 40% over on both time and cost.
The cost of getting it wrong
Why 'cheap' renovations end up costing more
A whole-house refurb has more moving parts than any other project you'll ever run at home. Cheap tenders fail predictably.
If ignored
-
Programme collapses under trade clashes
Without a proper programme, two trades clash, one waits, and both bill for the standing time. Programmes drift by 30-50%.
-
Hidden defects surface late
Damp, cracked drainage, undersized services and rotten timbers found at second-fix stage are the ones that break budgets, they should be found at strip-out.
-
No single warranty
When every trade issues its own invoice, no one owns the finished product. Snags become a game of pass-the-parcel between contractors.
-
Sign-off certificates missing
Missing gas, electrical or building control certificates surface at resale, and cost more to remediate retrospectively than they would have originally.
Common mistakes
-
Managing the trades yourself
Every homeowner who tries to project-manage a full renovation says the same thing at week eight: never again.
-
Buying finishes too early
Finishes bought before design freezes are almost always the wrong quantity or the wrong size. Buy against a spec, not from Instagram.
-
Skipping the pre-start survey
A proper strip-out survey saves more money than any single cost decision in the whole project.

Materials & methods
Property types, methods & renovation scope
London renovations look nothing alike between property types. Here's the range we cover.
Materials we work with
- Full re-wire to BS 7671 with Part P certification
- Full re-plumb in copper and MLCP to WRAS standards
- New boilers, unvented cylinders and megaflo systems sized against demand
- Traditional lime plaster on period walls; gypsum on newer substrates
- Engineered timber, LVT, porcelain tile and natural stone flooring
- Bespoke and off-the-shelf joinery, wardrobes and media walls
- Underfloor heating (wet) sized against room heat loss
Methods & standards
- Full pre-start survey to find hidden defects at strip-out, not at second fix
- Written construction programme with weekly milestone reporting
- Provisional sums clearly stated for finishes so the number stays honest
- Building control full-plans submission where structural work is involved
- Air-testing and MVHR commissioning where required on new-build interiors
Variations of this service
Period townhouse restoration
Georgian and Victorian townhouses, sensitive to lime plaster, timber sashes, cornice retention and period joinery.
Victorian / Edwardian terrace refurb
The London classic. Usually combined with a rear extension and loft conversion inside one contract.
Mansion-block flat refurb
Requires freeholder consents, sound insulation to lease conditions, and careful access planning through communal areas.
1930s semi refurb
Often includes rewire, replumb, new kitchen and bathroom, plus a rear extension knocking through original galley layouts.
New-build interior fit-out
Bespoke joinery, media walls, luxury bathrooms and kitchens in developer-shell properties.
Property types & settings
We renovate Georgian and Victorian townhouses, Edwardian terraces, mansion-block flats, 1930s semis and new-builds across North and West London.
Every renovation is quoted on a fixed-price basis after a full pre-start survey. Scope, spec and property type all drive the number, so we never quote from a floor plan alone. You'll have an itemised written quote back inside 2-3 weeks.
A whole-house refurbishment typically runs 16-28 weeks on site depending on scope. Renovations combined with an extension and loft conversion under the same contract run 28-40 weeks. The full programme is agreed in writing before we mobilise.
For a full 'back-to-brick' refurbishment, usually not, services and kitchens are out for extended periods. For phased renovations (e.g. ground floor first, then upstairs) we can plan around occupancy.
Yes. Architectural design and structural engineering sit inside the contract, arranged through our in-house design partners. You deal with one contact for the whole project.
Either works. Kitchens, bathroom suites and specialist finishes can sit on our trade accounts, or you can supply them against our written specification. Provisional sums cover finishes in the fixed-price quote.
Every renovation carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing. Manufacturer warranties on boilers, glazing, roofing and appliances sit on top of that.
Yes. Any renovation involving structural alterations, new bathrooms, kitchens in new locations or notifiable electrics goes through building control full-plans submission, which we arrange and manage.
We work throughout North and West London, including St John's Wood, Paddington, Kensington, Bayswater, Regents Park, Hampstead, Hammersmith, Chiswick and Ealing Broadway.
Change orders are priced in writing and signed off before the work happens. That's the only way to keep a fixed-price contract honest, and it's how we protect the programme from unmanaged scope creep.
