House Refurbishment in London
Whole-house programmes for London houses: every floor, every room, one sequence, one standard of finish — managed from scaffold to snagging.

A house is a sequencing problem
Refurbishing a whole house is different from refurbishing rooms. Work has to cascade in the right order — roof and externals before decoration, services before plaster, wet rooms before flooring — or trades return to damage finished work. Our programmes are built around that sequence.
A typical whole-house refurbishment covers external repairs and decoration from one scaffold hire, full rewiring and replumbing, new heating, replaced bathrooms and kitchen, plastering throughout, flooring, and a single decorating package to close.
For houses that also need walls moved, floors opened or space added, see full home renovation and extensions — the same team runs both, so a project can grow without changing hands.

Whole-house refurbishment costs
The economics favour doing the whole house at once: one scaffold, one site setup, trades on site once rather than five times. We quote the complete programme itemised by floor and by trade so you can see — and adjust — every part.

House refurbishment FAQs
Should we refurbish before moving in?
If you can, yes — an empty house refurbishes faster and cheaper, and you move into finished rooms. We regularly run programmes between exchange and move-in dates.
Can the work be phased?
Yes, floor by floor — though services replacement is best done in one pass. We’ll show you the cost difference between phased and single-programme options.
Do you handle external and roof work too?
Yes. Externals are part of the programme — doing them first, from one scaffold hire, protects the interior work that follows.
