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. How it works ## A step-by-step system, not a guess. 1. 01 Step 1 ### Free survey & feasibility Full walk-round, discussion of scope, and a view on what's structurally and legally possible. 2. 02 Step 2 ### Design, spec & fixed quote Detailed itemised quote against a full construction programme, back with you inside 2-3 weeks. 3. 03 Step 3 ### Consents & mobilisation Planning, Party Wall and building control appointed. Skips, welfare and site set-up in place. 4. 04 Step 4 ### Build phase Strip-out, structure, first fix, plaster, second fix, kitchens, bathrooms, decoration, sequenced against a written programme with weekly updates. 5. 05 Step 5 ### Sign-off & guarantee Snag-free handover, all certificates issued, 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing. What you actually get ## Concrete outcomes, not adjectives. ### One contract, one programme Every trade under one contract with one programme. No trade clashes. ### Fixed price up front Detailed itemised quote with clearly defined provisional sums for finishes. ### PRINCE2 project management Programme managed against written milestones. Weekly written progress updates. ### All certificates issued Gas, electrical, and building control certificates handed over on completion. ### One accountable warranty 12-month workmanship guarantee covering the whole scope. ### One point of contact Founder-led project management from survey to handover. 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.

Still not sure? Call Jay directly on [07460 046234](tel:07460046234). How much does a full renovation cost in 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. How long does a full house renovation take? 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. Can I stay in the house during the renovation? 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. Do you handle architects and structural engineers? 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. Will you supply everything, or should I buy finishes? 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. What guarantee do you offer on renovations? Every renovation carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee in writing. Manufacturer warranties on boilers, glazing, roofing and appliances sit on top of that. Do you handle building control? 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. Which areas of London do you cover? We work throughout North and West London, including St John's Wood, Paddington, Kensington, Bayswater, Regents Park, Hampstead, Hammersmith, Chiswick and Ealing Broadway. How do you handle changes mid-project? 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. ![London roofing preparation with battens and breathable membrane used as a refurbishment call-to-action background](/__l5e/assets-v1/3d2e06f4-c5bb-4116-a2a3-2220a1df9443/Roofing_2.jpeg) Book your free survey ## Ready to price your full renovations the honest way?
