Home Improvements One Company, Every Project
Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, loft conversions, renovations and refurbishments — the full range of home improvements delivered by one trusted London company. Architects, structural engineers, surveying support and directly-employed trades under one roof, on a single fixed-price contract, from first idea to final snag and the 12-month defects-rectification period under the JCT contract terms.

No Hidden Cost-Plus
The Home Improvement Company That Does It All
Improving a home usually means juggling specialists — a kitchen company here, a bathroom fitter there, a builder for the extension, an electrician for the rewire, an architect for the drawings — and somehow coordinating them all yourself, carrying the risk in every gap between them. A single home improvement company exists to take that burden away: one team, one contract, one point of accountability for whatever you want to improve, from a single room to the whole house.
This page is the home for our full range of home improvements — kitchens and bathrooms, extensions and conversions, renovations and refurbishments, structural work and services — delivered by one trusted London company. As a design-and-build contractor, we bring RIBA Chartered architects, MIStructE structural engineers and our own directly-employed trades under one roof — with RICS-regulated chartered surveying separately appointed through our sister practice, Hampstead Chartered Surveyors, and deliver your project on a single fixed-price contract. There is no chasing between trades, no blame to referee, and no surprise bills — one company is responsible from the first idea to the last coat of paint.
Whether you are planning one improvement or several, the value of a single company is the same. The kitchen designer knows what the builder can deliver; the engineer knows what the trades will install; the estimator has priced a hundred similar projects nearby. So the work is designed to be built, coordinated to run smoothly, and priced to hold — the opposite of the fragmented, drift-prone experience that gives home improvement its reputation. And when something unexpected is found, there is one company to resolve it, because it is simply us.
We have improved 103+ homes across NW3, NW8, NW1, SW1, SW3, SW7, W1 and W11 — from a single bespoke kitchen to whole-house transformations — with particular depth in the period housing and conservation areas of north and central London. If you already know the specific improvement you want, the pages below go into detail; if you want one company to take care of everything, you are in the right place.
The hidden cost of doing it the usual way — a different firm for each part — is rarely the headline prices; it is the time, the stress and the risk that sit on you. You become the project manager whether you wanted to or not: scheduling the electrician around the plasterer, discovering the kitchen will not fit the opening the builder left, mediating when the tiler and the plumber each blame the other for the leak. Every handover between trades is a place for things to fall through, and when they do, the bill and the delay land on you, because no one party ever agreed to own the whole result. A single company removes all of that by design.
It is also the difference between improvements that age well and ones that quietly disappoint. When the same firm designs the work, engineers it and builds it, the decisions are joined up: the kitchen is designed around services that can actually be routed, the bathroom around drainage that genuinely falls the right way, the extension around a structure that has been calculated rather than assumed. Standards are consistent because the same directly-employed trades carry them from room to room. And the finish is held to one benchmark across the whole home, rather than varying with whichever sub-contractor happened to be cheapest that month.
None of this means a home improvement has to be a vast project. Plenty of our clients begin with a single room and come back, over the years, for the next — a kitchen, then a loft, then a bathroom — because the relationship is already there and the standard is known. Whether you want one improvement now or a plan for several over time, having one trusted company that knows your home is worth far more than a folder of unrelated quotes.
Below is the range of improvements we deliver, how we work, and why a single accountable company is the simplest and safest way to improve your home.
Every Home Improvement, One Company
From a single room to the whole house, the same integrated team and fixed-price model. These are the six areas we are asked for most.
Kitchens
Bespoke fitted kitchens and full kitchen renovations — designed, made and installed, with the structural and open-plan work to match.
Bathrooms
Bathroom renovations, shower rooms, en-suites and accessible bathrooms — fully tanked, beautifully finished and warranted.
Extensions
Rear, side-return, wrap-around and double-storey extensions — adding the floor area and light a growing family needs.
Loft & Cellar
Reclaiming roof and lower-ground space — loft conversions and cellar conversions — for bedrooms, suites and usable rooms.
Renovation & Refurbishment
Whole-house renovation and refurbishment — transforming or restoring an entire home as one coordinated programme.
Structural & Services
Structural alterations, open-plan living, rewiring, plumbing and heating — the improvements that make a home perform.
What One Company Brings to Every Improvement
The advantage of a single home improvement company is that all of this comes together under one roof and one contract. Here is what that includes.
Architectural Design
RIBA Chartered architects developing the design in-house, with 3D visualisation so you see the result before committing — not a separate practice that hands over and walks away.
Structural Engineering
MIStructE engineers for any steel, openings or strengthening, and the Building Control submissions — all in-house, so the structure and the build are never disconnected.
Planning & Approvals
Planning applications, Listed Building Consent, Lawful Development Certificates and Party Wall awards prepared and managed for you — the bureaucracy taken off your plate.
Fixed-Price Costing
The whole improvement priced as a single fixed sum before you commit — no open-ended cost-plus, no inflated provisional sums, no surprises mid-project.
Directly-Employed Trades
Our core carpenters, plumbers, electricians and decorators are PAYE staff — continuity and a standard we control, not the cheapest available sub-contractors.
Project Management
A dedicated project manager and weekly written progress reporting with photography — so you always know where things stand, on programme and on budget.
Certified Services
Electrical work certified to BS 7671 and Gas Safe registered plumbing and gas, certified by registered installers and documented — not sub-let to an unknown trade.
Bespoke Joinery
Our joinery shop produces fitted wardrobes, kitchens, alcove cabinetry, panelling and doors — the bespoke detail that lifts a home improvement above standard.
Heritage Expertise
Deep experience with period and listed homes — lime plaster, sash restoration, cornice reproduction — and the consents to improve them lawfully.
Insurance & Warranty
We hold £5 million public liability insurance, £10 million employers' liability insurance and contractors' all risks cover; certificates are available on request.
Concierge Aftercare
One free service visit at six months and a 24-hour line for live defects — the reason most of our clients return for their next improvement.
One Point of Contact
One company, one contract, one team you build a relationship with across one project or many — the simplest way to improve a home well.
Six Reasons to Use a Single Company
The case for one accountable home improvement company over a patchwork of separate trades comes down to six things.
One Accountability
Design, engineering and build under one roof and one contract — so there is never a gap to fall into, and one company owns the whole result.
A Price That Holds
A single fixed price agreed before we start — you know the cost up front and are protected from the cost-plus drift that plagues fragmented projects.
No Coordination Burden
You do not project-manage a cast of separate trades — we do, with a dedicated manager and one programme that ties everything together.
Designed to Be Built
Because our designers and builders are the same firm, the work is designed to be delivered — not an elegant idea that unravels on site.
One Standard
Directly-employed trades mean a consistent standard across every room and every improvement — not a different crew, and a different quality, each time.
Protected and Warranted
£5M public liability, £10M employers' liability insurance and contractors' all risks cover, full certification and a 12-month defects period across the whole project — one set of protections, not a patchwork.
Eight Stages, From Brief to Handover
Whatever the improvement, we follow the same disciplined process — scaled to the size of the project.
Free Consultation
An initial consultation to understand what you want to improve and your budget, at our studio or your home. No charge, no obligation.
Survey & Feasibility
A measured survey and a feasibility assessment with options, constraints and an outline cost band — the basis for an honest design and price.
Design & 3D
The improvement designed and presented with plans and a 3D view, refined with you until it is exactly right.
Planning & Building Regs
Any planning or Building Regulations approval prepared and submitted — managed entirely by us.
Detail & Fixed Price
The technical detail, specification and a single fixed-price quotation — everything settled before work begins.
The Works
The improvement delivered by our own trades, with weekly progress reporting and one point of contact throughout.
Snagging & Handover
Commissioning, a joint snagging walk, the certification pack and handover of your finished improvement.
Defects & Warranty
A 12-month defects-rectification period under the JCT contract terms and a service visit at six months.
Four Tiers, Honestly Drawn
A good company is honest that cost follows specification. Here is how our four tiers differ across a typical improvement.

One Improvement or the Whole House
However big or small your plans, the way to begin is the same — a conversation about what you want to achieve.
Some clients come to us with a single, defined improvement — a new kitchen, a bathroom, a loft — and some with a vaguer sense that the house no longer works for them and a wish to put it right. Both are the right starting point. A good home improvement company should be as comfortable delivering one beautifully resolved room as a whole-house transformation, and should help you work out which your home and your budget actually call for.
Often the most valuable thing we do at the first meeting is help you prioritise: which improvements will make the biggest difference to how you live, which are best done together to save cost and disruption, and which can wait. A kitchen and a knock-through are far cheaper done as one project than two; a rewire is best done while floors are up for other work; an extension and a loft together transform a house in a single programme. Sequencing improvements well can save a great deal of money and upheaval — advice you only get from a company that sees the whole picture.

When you are ready, book a free consultation through the contact page, or use the cost calculator for an early budget. For whole-house work, our renovation and renovation company pages go into more detail.
