Most builders will quote you a price.
We'll show you what's possible.
A full refurbishment isn't just about updating kitchens and bathrooms. It's the chance to fundamentally rethink how your home works — how light moves through it, how spaces connect, how every room serves the life you actually live.
We start with structure. Remove walls that shouldn't be there. Add steel where it needs to go. Open up sightlines. Then we layer in everything else: new electrics, new plumbing, underfloor heating, insulation, acoustic separation, plastering, joinery, decoration. Every trade managed by our team. No subcontractor lottery.
Our architects, engineers and designers work from our Finchley Road showroom in NW3. You can walk in, see the tiles, touch the flooring, review paint samples, and sit down with the people who'll actually design and build your project. That's how we've worked since 2009, and it's why clients keep coming back.
The same house. A different life.
Belsize Park Gardens, NW3 — Every room, every surface, every system renewed.
Full house refurbishment, basement conversion, rear extension & loft conversion
Stripped back to the shell. Structural modifications throughout. New layout, new services, premium finishes. Delivered on programme with fixed-price contract.
The anatomy of a full refurbishment
This is what happens when we take a property back to the shell. Each phase is planned before we start — so there are no surprises, no scope creep, no "we didn't realise" moments.
Strip-Out & Structural Survey
Everything comes out: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, old electrics, old plumbing. Once the building is exposed, our structural engineer inspects every wall, beam and foundation. No guesswork — we know exactly what we're working with.
Structural Modifications
Steel beams installed. Load-bearing walls removed. Openings formed. Underpinning if the basement is being lowered. This is where the new layout comes to life — and where experience matters most.
First Fix: Electrics, Plumbing, Heating
Full rewire to 18th Edition. Complete replumb in copper and push-fit. Underfloor heating loops laid. Boiler and unvented cylinder positioned. Smart home cabling run to every room. This work is invisible once finished — but it defines how the house performs for 30 years.
Insulation, Boarding & Plastering
Walls and ceilings insulated, boarded and skimmed. Acoustic separation between floors. Cornicing reinstated or custom-matched for period properties. The rooms take shape.
Second Fix, Joinery & Fit-Out
Kitchens installed. Bathrooms tiled and fitted. Bespoke joinery — wardrobes, shelving, window seats, staircases. Flooring laid. Sockets, switches and lighting fitted. Decoration begins.
Decoration, Snagging & Handover
Final decoration to designer specification. Professional clean. Full snagging walkthrough with the client. All compliance certificates handed over. 5-year workmanship warranty starts.

Things clients always ask us
A typical full refurbishment of a 3-4 bedroom house takes 16–24 weeks. If you're adding a loft, extension or basement, expect 24–36 weeks. We provide a fixed programme before work starts and send weekly progress updates.
For a cosmetic or mid-range refurbishment, yes — we can work room by room. For a full strip-back, you'll need to move out. We can phase the work to minimise disruption and give you a realistic timeline for when you can move back in.
Yes. Our architects manage all planning applications and our team handles building control submissions, inspections and sign-offs. We have a 98% planning approval rate across Camden. Party wall agreements are arranged where needed.
Everything in the specification: all labour, all materials, all trades, project management, skip hire, scaffolding. We include a 10% contingency for unknowns — if it's not used, it's not charged. Changes you request during the build are quoted separately before any work is done.
