Refresh the rooms.
Bring the home together.

A full refurbishment is an opportunity to improve the spaces you use every day. It can renew worn finishes, address repairs and bring a kitchen, bathroom or wider group of rooms into a more complete plan.

Sometimes you may find you have outgrown your home. It is easy to find your home in a state of disrepair. Start with what is no longer working and the result you want, then consider the building work and finishes together.

Discuss your refurbishment

From room to room

Every part of your home,
considered together.

Explore the changes you can bring into your refurbishment. You can discuss one room, several connected spaces or a full property project.

Flooring refurbishment

A new floor can change the feel of a room and bring adjoining spaces together. We can discuss flooring as part of a full refurbishment or alongside work to individual rooms. Think about how the space is used, the finish you prefer and where it meets the floors you want to keep.

Include any existing floor issues and the work planned around it. Walls, doors, skirting and thresholds all form part of the finished room, so it helps to consider those connections while the refurbishment scope is taking shape.

  • Room updates and whole-home flooring
  • Connections between adjoining spaces
  • Finishing alongside the wider refurbishment

Walls and ceilings

Fresh walls and ceilings give a refurbishment a clean starting point. Plastering, preparation and making good around alterations can be considered together, whether you are refreshing a tired room or bringing several spaces into the same project.

Tell us about damaged surfaces, previous repairs and the final appearance you want. Include the walls you hope to retain as well as those you want renewed. This makes the finish part of the room as a whole, with existing concerns considered before attention turns to the completed look.

  • Plastering and surface preparation
  • Making good around building changes
  • Wall and ceiling finishes

Kitchen refurbishment

Your kitchen should suit the way you cook, eat and spend time at home. A refurbishment can bring the layout, cabinetry, worktops and surrounding finishes into one plan. Describe what feels awkward now and which parts of the kitchen you would like to keep or replace.

Flooring, walls, doors and windows may all be part of the change. Include any plumbing, electrical or other trade requirements already identified so the responsibilities and connected work can be discussed. We have contacts for electricians and other trades to support the wider project conversation.

  • Kitchen layout and finish updates
  • Cabinetry and worktop changes

Bathroom refurbishment

A bathroom refurbishment starts with how you want the room to work. You may be considering a different layout, refreshed fittings or a complete change of surfaces. Explain the bath, shower, basin and storage arrangements you have in mind, alongside anything you want to retain.

Bring the flooring, walls, ceiling, door and window into the same outline. Mention known repairs and any plumbing or electrical changes the proposal may need. The room layout, choice of fittings and specialist work should be considered together so the scope covers the practical room as well as its finished appearance.

  • Bathroom layout and fitting changes
  • Wall, floor and ceiling finishes
  • Connected repairs and trade requirements

Doors and the details around them

Doors are part of how a refurbished home feels and functions. Discuss internal or external door changes alongside the rooms they serve, including the style, opening arrangement and finish you prefer. A single replacement and a consistent look across several rooms can be considered within your refurbishment plans.

Include the frames, architraves, handles and surrounding wall or floor finishes in the conversation. Those details help bring the doorway into the wider room design, especially where new flooring, plastering or other alterations are proposed at the same time.

  • Internal and external door changes
  • Frames, handles and surrounding finishes
  • A consistent look across the home

Windows and surrounding finishes

Window changes can be part of a full home refurbishment as well as an improvement to individual rooms. Tell us which windows you are considering, what you would like to change and the appearance you prefer. Include existing concerns and any other exterior work proposed around the same part of the home.

Think about the finish inside and outside the opening too. Plastering, making good and the connection to adjoining surfaces belong in the project outline. The choice of windows and the work around them can then be discussed as part of the overall refurbishment rather than an isolated product decision.

  • Window changes within the refurbishment
  • Interior and exterior making good
  • Finishes considered with the adjoining rooms

A clear starting point

Plan the whole room,
then the details.

Begin with the spaces involved and the things you want to improve. A kitchen or bathroom may need several connected services; flooring or new doors may form part of work across adjoining rooms.

Our in-house drawing and diagram support can help explain layout ideas. We also have contacts for electricians and other trades. Include any specialist requirements you already know about so the work and responsibilities can be discussed as the scope develops.

Tell us about your plans

Useful details for your enquiry

  • The rooms you want to refurbish and how you use them.
  • What you would like to keep, replace or improve.
  • Known repairs and any plumbing, electrical or other trade work.
  • Your ideas for flooring, walls, fittings, doors and windows.
  • Any existing drawings, timing preferences and your property location.

You do not need to choose every finish before making contact. A clear outline of the rooms and your priorities gives us a useful starting point.

Bring the work together

From your first ideas
to a clearer scope.

Consider the refurbishment in stages, keeping your household needs alongside the building work and finished rooms.


  1. Describe the rooms

    Tell us what feels tired, awkward or in need of repair. Identify the rooms and finishes you want considered, with the parts you hope to retain. Photos or existing drawings can help explain the home as it stands.


  2. Connect the services

    Bring walls, floors, kitchen or bathroom changes, doors and windows into the same outline. Mention the other trades your ideas may need and discuss how those services relate to the building and finishing work.


  3. Discuss the practical details

    Raise access, timing preferences and the rooms your household needs to use. The scope, materials and responsibilities should be clear as the plans develop, including any choices that still need to be made.

Before we begin

Your refurbishment
questions.

A clear project starts with a conversation. Ask about the rooms, services and finishes you want to bring together.

Discuss your home

Do I have to refurbish the whole house?

No. You can enquire about a kitchen, bathroom, individual room or a wider group of spaces. Explain what you want to improve and any connected work. The right scope follows the rooms and services you need, rather than requiring every part of the property to be included.

Can flooring and plastering be included together?

Yes. Both are part of our service range and can be discussed within the same refurbishment. Include the rooms, existing condition and any alterations planned around them, so the walls, ceilings and floors are considered as connected parts of the finished space.

Can the refurbishment include doors and windows?

Yes. Tell us which doors or windows you want to change and the result you have in mind. Include frames, surrounding walls and adjoining floor finishes where relevant. This helps define the work around the openings alongside the wider refurbishment.

Do I need to choose kitchen or bathroom fittings first?

You can contact us while those choices are still developing. Describe the layout, what you would like to keep or replace and any style preferences. The fittings, surfaces and connected trade work can then be discussed as part of the room’s overall scope.

What about electrical, plumbing or other trade work?

Include those requirements when explaining the proposed kitchen, bathroom or wider refurbishment. We have contacts for electricians and other trades. The particular services, specialist work and responsibilities need to be discussed for the individual project, rather than assumed from the room name alone.

Can I stay at home during a refurbishment?

That depends on the extent of the work and the rooms involved. Explain which spaces your household relies on and any intention to remain in the property. Access, room use and practical arrangements need to be discussed alongside the proposed scope.
