Whole houses stripped back and rebuilt properly

Sometimes, and it depends how much of the house is coming apart at once. A room by room refurbishment can be lived through, with dust screens and the working areas sealed off. A full strip out with the electrics and plumbing coming out is far quicker, cheaper and less miserable if the house is empty. We will give you an honest answer at the quote rather than after you have moved a family in around it.

A typical three bedroom house being fully refurbished is usually twelve to twenty weeks depending on the extent of the structural work, whether it is being rewired and replumbed, and how quickly kitchens, bathrooms and finishes are decided on. Delays on a refurbishment are far more often about choices than about labour, so early decisions on kitchens and tiles keep it moving.

Yes, through qualified electricians and plumbers who work with us regularly. Electrical work is carried out and certified to Part P, and gas work is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Certificates come to you at the end, and they matter when you sell.

Yes, and a good part of this work is exactly that, landlords and vendors getting a property back to a standard where it lets or sells. Where the budget is fixed we will tell you honestly where it is best spent, and where a job is not worth doing at all we will say so.

Always. Every project starts with a site visit and a written quote setting out the scope, what is included, what is excluded and a payment schedule against milestones. Anything that changes mid job is priced and agreed in writing before it goes ahead, so the final figure is not a surprise.
