Refurbishment is where bad contracting shows up most
A full refurbishment has any number of different trades, dependencies and sequencing decisions. Do them in the wrong order — skim before second-fix, floor before radiators, tiling before the plumber signs off — and the programme unravels. This is where contractors used to running small jobs quietly come unstuck.
Whatever the property — Victorian terrace, Edwardian semi or 1930s detached home — the programme management is the same: every trade sequenced, regular progress meetings with the client, and no surprises on the final invoice.
The full refurbishment package
From the first survey through to handover. Structure, M&E, plaster, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration — all under one contract and one programme.
- Pre-Start Survey — Full condition survey — damp, electrics, heating, roof, drains — so surprises stay off the final invoice.
- Strip-Out — Existing kitchens, bathrooms, heating, wiring and flooring stripped back to plaster or brick.
- Full Rewire — New consumer unit, circuits, sockets, lighting and hard-wired smoke alarms — NICEIC-certified.
- Full Replumb — Mains upgrades, new central heating system, boiler, radiators, unvented cylinders.
- Damp & Structural — Rising damp treatment, structural opening-up where needed, lintels over openings added or replaced.
- Plastering — Full replaster of rooms back to paint-ready finish, with lime plasters specified for older solid-wall properties.
- Joinery — New or restored skirtings, architraves, staircases, internal doors — sympathetically profiled for period homes.
- Kitchens & Bathrooms — Full kitchen and bathroom refits as part of the package — same team, same standard.

Whole-House Refurbishments FAQs
What counts as a full refurbishment?
Usually a full rewire, full replumb, central heating replacement, replastering most rooms, new kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, full redecoration, and often some structural reconfiguration. Clients commissioning a refurbishment are typically just-moved-in, or coming back to a long-empty family home.
How much does a whole-house refurbishment cost?
Every refurbishment is individually quoted — the cost depends on the size of the property, the specification and how much structural work is involved. After a free site visit we provide a fully itemised written quotation with no hidden costs, so the headline figure doesn't hide anything.
How long will we be out of the house?
Lead times typically run from several weeks to several months, depending on scope. We don't usually recommend living in the house during a full refurbishment — a rewire, replumb and replaster across every room at once is hard on a family — and we confirm the programme in the written quotation.
Can you work on listed or period properties?
Yes — we work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s detached homes. For listed properties we coordinate with the local conservation officer and specify lime plasters, matching mouldings and appropriate materials throughout.
What about the existing period features?
We sympathetically restore what can be restored — plaster cornices, ceiling roses, skirting profiles, original floorboards — and sympathetically replicate what can't. A refurbishment shouldn't strip a period house of its character.
Do you coordinate design and interiors?
Yes — in-house space-planning and finishes, or we'll work alongside an interior designer or architect you've already appointed. Refurbishment is as much an interior decision as a construction one.
