Full house refurbishment in London

A whole-house refurbishment is months of your life and a large part of your savings handed to a team you have to trust completely. It is the project where everything that can go wrong with building work is concentrated: the budget that drifts over a long programme, the trades who don’t talk to each other, the builder who goes quiet halfway through, the home you can’t live in for longer than anyone promised.

What you want is one team holding the whole thing — so you stay informed and calm while your home is taken apart and put back better, without the nightmare the stories warned you about.

That is exactly the job we are built for. We plan the full programme before we start, sequence the trades so the job keeps moving, and agree how it will run: who is on site, how change is controlled, how we report. Once underway, a weekly report tells you where the job is and what is next, variations are agreed in writing and priced before the work happens, and the site is left clean at the end of every day. Where the build allows, we keep part of the house liveable; where it doesn’t, we are honest about that up front.

We refurbish whole houses and apartments across London, from structure to finish, on period and managed buildings. Structural, electrical and gas work runs through Gas Safe and NICEIC-registered specialists, with glazing to FENSA certification, under £10m public liability. If you are an architect, we are the single accountable contractor who delivers your scheme as drawn and hands it back in a way that makes you look good to your client.

Older homes hide things no one can see until the work begins, so we don’t pretend otherwise: you get a fair price, a contingency planned in from the start, and the truth the moment the building reveals something — every change explained and agreed in writing before we carry on, never sprung on you at the end.

Send us the drawings and a note on what you are planning. We respond within two working days.
