Full refurbishments
Make the whole home work as one.
01
A good fit for your home?
A refurbishment makes sense when the problems cross room boundaries: dated services, awkward circulation, inconsistent finishes or spaces that no longer fit your household.
Start with a whole-home brief even if delivery will happen in phases. It helps avoid finishing one room only to reopen it for work elsewhere.
02
What we plan together
Bring the decisions together
Agree the rooms, structural changes, service upgrades, repairs, finishes and fitted elements that belong in the project.
Make exclusions visible
Loose furniture, specialist surveys, external work and client-supplied items need clear boundaries. Record who selects, orders, receives and checks each item.
04
Know the house before the work
Older fabric and concealed services may only be understood through surveys and opening-up work. Agree how discoveries are recorded and what happens before additional work is approved.
Occupied refurbishment needs a credible phasing plan. Discuss access, dust separation, essential facilities and whether temporary relocation is more practical.
03
Room for possibility
Establish a common thread
Use a restrained material palette and recurring details to connect rooms, while allowing each room to serve its purpose.
Improve the unseen parts
Storage, service routes, lighting controls and access for maintenance deserve as much attention as the visible finishes.
05
From idea to everyday life
01 — Prioritise
Map essential repairs, desired changes and work that can wait.
02 — Coordinate
Resolve room layouts, service routes, finishes and procurement as a single programme.
03 — Deliver in a clear sequence
Protect retained areas, complete structural and service work, then move through finishes, checks and handover.
06
A clearer starting point
Extent of strip-out, concealed conditions, service upgrades and finish specification can shift the scope. Keep a transparent allowance for unresolved work.
A phased approach should include the cost and disruption of returning to site. Compare it with one coordinated programme before deciding.
07
Before our first conversation
Make a room-by-room list of problems, priorities and items to retain.
Gather previous drawings, surveys and information about known defects.
Discuss temporary accommodation, storage and the dates that genuinely constrain the household.
