Service

Complete Renovations

Whole-home refurbishment for period townhouses, mansion-block apartments and contemporary residences across London.

Approach

One trusted team, from first survey to final handover.

A complete renovation touches every discipline in a home at once. We take responsibility for all of it: structure, services, surfaces and the detail that decides how a finished room feels.

Works are sequenced by one project team, so clients, architects and designers deal with a single point of accountability from strip-out to handover.

Capabilities


  • Structural alterations

    Openings, steelwork, basement and loft alterations with the engineering and building control approvals in place.

  • Listed and period property

    Cornice and panelling restoration, sash window works and sympathetic detailing.

Supporting capability

Project management

Most difficulties on a high-end residential project are co-ordination difficulties. Our project management removes them: one programme, one set of records and one person answerable for both.

  • Detailed sequencing and long-lead procurement tracking
  • Transparent valuations and controlled variations
  • Specialist trades and consultants co-ordinated to one set of drawings
  • Benchmark approvals, staged inspections and managed snagging
  • Weekly reporting to clients and design teams

Supporting capability

Marble and natural stone

Stone rewards planning. Slabs are selected and reserved early, dry-laid where the design demands it, and set out so veining runs where the eye expects it.

  • Attendance at yards to select, mark and reserve slabs
  • Book-matched feature walls, fireplaces and vanity runs
  • Stone bathrooms, wet rooms, worktops and splashbacks
  • Honed, brushed and polished finishes with mitred edges
  • Sealing, protection and long-term care guidance
