Refurbishment & interiors
House renovation, kitchens, bathrooms, plastering, painting, decorating and flooring. Identify preparation, retained fixtures and final finishes so individual trades are not hidden inside a vague package.

✦ SCOPE THAT FITS THE JOB
Separate the scope, trades and finishing
Property work can range from refreshing a room to planning a larger conversion or extension. The first step is separating the work you need now from optional improvements. Describe the rooms, existing condition and finish you want, and tell us whether the property will remain occupied. A clear brief makes it easier to discuss access, preparation, materials and the order of work.
Kitchens and bathrooms need more detail than a general room description. Show layouts, services and items to retain, and identify who supplies fixtures and finishes. Plastering, painting and flooring have different preparation needs. Brickwork includes agreed garden-wall work, with the existing structure and intended change reviewed before pricing. We do not infer a complete structural or specialist specification from photographs alone. If the work spans several rooms, provide a room-by-room list. Separate essential repairs from preferred upgrades and identify any fixtures to retain, so the quotation can distinguish immediate work from optional items or a later stage.
✦ OUR BUILDING & PROPERTY WORK
Choose the work you need.
Brickwork & garden walls
Discuss the existing structure, proposed change and measurements. Garden-wall work belongs within brickwork, with foundations, finish and reinstatement specified for the actual job.
Conversions & extensions
Lofts, dormers, house extensions, garage conversions, garden offices and summerhouses need a defined project brief. Plans, specialist input and any approvals are confirmed before the building scope is booked.
Maintenance & handover repairs
Landlord and end-of-tenancy repairs share one page. List the tasks, deadline and authorised contact. Roofing and guttering are assessed separately. Chimney-removal enquiries are assessed individually before work is agreed.

✦ PREPARATION & THE FINISH
Agree the work before it starts.
Larger enquiries can cover loft conversions, single or double dormer layouts, extensions, garage conversions, garden offices and summerhouses. These need plans, measurements and confirmation of any design, permissions or specialist input before a programme is agreed. Roofing and guttering enquiries are assessed separately. Chimney-removal enquiries are assessed individually before work is agreed.
Everyone who works on your property is covered by public liability insurance, and we check this before they start.
✦ YOUR QUOTATION
Details that make the price clearer.
Send the postcode, room or project measurements, photos, plans where available and preferred finish. The quote should distinguish labour, material allowances, disposal, protection and reinstatement. Hidden conditions and additional work are discussed rather than treated as automatically included. Landlord repairs share the end-of-tenancy repairs page, with a clear handover scope.
Before larger jobs
For an extension, loft conversion, chimney removal, roofing project or structural alteration, we start with the actual building and proposed work.
- We check applicable Building Regulations and whether an engineer’s input is needed.
- We check Party Wall requirements where the work affects shared structures, boundaries or nearby foundations.
- We check planning requirements where relevant, separately from building control.
Larger or higher-risk jobs are assessed individually. We check which approvals are needed before work starts.

✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Building & Property questions.
Practical answers about scope, access and arranging the work.
Can I request a small repair rather than a full refurbishment?+
Yes. Provide a clear task list and photos. We discuss the preparation, materials and finish for the actual job rather than requiring a whole-property project.
Can I supply materials or fixtures?+
Discuss supply responsibilities before ordering. Sizes, specification, availability and delivery arrangements need to match the agreed scope, especially for kitchens, bathrooms and flooring.
Do conversions and extensions need a site visit?+
Larger projects normally need measurements, plans and assessment to define the work. Any specialist design or approval requirements must be resolved before a firm scope and programme are agreed.
Are landlord repairs a separate page?+
They are included within end-of-tenancy repairs. The page keeps the task list, handover deadline and approval contact together instead of duplicating the same repair content.
Do you confirm a price before seeing the property?+
No. Photos support an initial estimate. Hidden conditions, larger building work or specialist requirements may need further assessment before a fixed quotation can be confirmed.
