Six Ways to Get More Out of the House You Own

Full Renovations

Whole-House Refurbishment

A full renovation is the cheapest time to do everything you will eventually want done. While floors are up and walls are open we rewire, replumb, insulate and re-plaster in one programme rather than three separate disruptions.

—  Complete rewire, consumer unit and Part P certification

—  First and second fix plumbing, new boiler and radiators

—  Structural alterations, knock-throughs and new steels

—  Cornice, skirting and sash window restoration

—  Plastering, decoration and flooring throughout

Extensions

Rear and Side Extensions That Fit the House

A well-detailed home extension should look like it was always there. We match brick, bond and mortar to the original and get the glazing proportions right so the new space reads as part of the building.

—  Rear extensions and side extensions

—  Side return infills on Victorian and Edwardian terraces

—  Steel goalpost frames, lantern rooflights and bi-fold doors

—  Planning applications and permitted development certificates

—  Party wall agreements with neighbours handled for you

Loft Conversions

Dormer Loft Conversion and Mansard

A loft conversion is usually the best value per square metre in a London terrace. We handle the structure, the staircase and fire regulations, and finish the space so it feels like part of the house.

—  Dormer loft conversion, hip-to-gable and full mansard

—  New staircase designed to fit the existing landing

—  En suite shower rooms with concealed services

—  Insulation, fire doors and building control sign-off

—  Bespoke eaves storage and fitted wardrobes

Kitchens

Kitchen Renovation, Simple or Structural

Kitchen renovation ranges from a careful replacement in the existing footprint to knocking through, moving services and reworking the whole ground floor. We quote both honestly.

—  Supply-and-fit or fit-only for your chosen kitchen

—  Knock-throughs, new steels and repositioned services

—  Worktop templating in stone, composite and solid timber

—  Electrics, extraction, plumbing and appliance installation

—  Floor levelling, tiling and resin finishes

Bathrooms

Bathroom Renovation Done Watertight

Most bathroom problems are waterproofing problems. We tank wet areas properly, set falls correctly and pressure-test before a single tile goes on.

—  Family bathrooms, en suites and wet rooms

—  Full tanking, screeds and correct falls

—  Large-format tiling, marble and micro-cement

—  Concealed cisterns, niches and underfloor heating

—  Extraction, lighting and shaver circuits

Decorating

Paint and Decorating, Preparation First

Ninety per cent of a good paint finish is what happens before the paint. We fill, sand, caulk and seal, then apply proper systems — not one thick coat over a bad surface.

—  Interior decorating, including period detail and woodwork

—  Exterior masonry, render and sash window redecoration

—  Wallpaper hanging and lining

—  Specialist finishes on joinery and metalwork

—  Colour consultation if you want a second opinion

Specification Levels

What Your Budget Actually Buys

We quote three levels of finish honestly. The structure and certification are identical in all three — the difference is in materials and detailing, not in how well the work is built.
