House refurbishment in London
Whole-house strip-outs and rebuilds, or single-room kitchen and bathroom projects, planned in clear stages with one point of contact.
What a refurbishment covers
- Strip-out, making safe and waste removal.
- Structural alterations such as opening up rooms or adding steel beams.
- First fix: carpentry, plumbing and electrics routed before walls are closed.
- Plastering, second fix, kitchens, bathrooms and fitted joinery.
- Flooring, painting and decoration, then snagging and handover.
Customers on our Checkatrade profile have mentioned kitchen and bathroom work as well as general building.
Checks before any work starts
Older London houses hide surprises. Before strip-out we look at the condition of the structure, damp, drainage and services. Properties built before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a refurbishment asbestos survey is the responsible first step before walls and ceilings are disturbed.
Electrical work has to meet Part P of the Building Regulations, and gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We coordinate the right registered tradespeople and building control where the job requires them.
Living at home, or moving out
A single-room refurbishment can usually be done while you live at home, with dust protection and agreed working hours. A whole-house refurbishment is quicker, safer and often cheaper if the house is empty. We will tell you honestly which approach suits your project.
How the price is set
You receive a written, itemised quotation covering scope, materials, labour, exclusions and provisional sums. Anything not yet specified, such as tiles or sanitaryware, is shown as a provisional sum, so a change in choice does not come as a surprise. See our process.
Common questions
Yes. We take on single-room projects as well as whole-house refurbishments, and coordinate plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling and joinery.
For buildings built before 2000, a refurbishment asbestos survey is recommended before work that disturbs the fabric, and is a legal duty for commercial premises. We will advise at the site visit.
Not for like-for-like cosmetic work, but structural changes, new electrical circuits, drainage alterations and some changes of layout do. We confirm what applies to your scope.
It depends on scope, access and lead times for materials such as kitchens and windows. After the site visit, the proposed programme is included with your quotation.
