A full property renovation is the most complex job in residential construction. Done well, it transforms an unloved building into the home you actually want to live in for the next twenty years. Done badly, it's a money pit that drags on for two years, runs 60% over budget and ends with you living in a half-finished building site. ### What it is We carry out whole-home renovations end-to-end: strip-out, structural alterations, re-roofing, re-wiring, re-plumbing, central heating, replastering, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, joinery, insulation upgrades, glazing replacement, external works and full decoration. One contract, one programme, one accountable team. ### Who it's for Buyers of properties needing total refurbishment, families inheriting older homes that have been untouched for decades, owners of period properties wanting sympathetic restoration, landlords preparing high-spec rental stock, and homeowners ready to invest in 'one big job' rather than years of disruption. ### When you need it When you've bought a doer-upper. When the kitchen, bathroom, wiring and heating all need replacing within the next few years anyway. When the cost-per-square-metre of doing one big job in sequence is significantly less than five smaller jobs over a decade. When you're prepared to move out for 3–6 months to let it be done properly. ### Why a specialist Renovations involve every trade in residential construction working in the correct sequence. Coordinating that yourself, while still working a day job, is how renovation horror stories happen. A specialist contractor running the programme keeps trades in the right order, materials on site when needed, and your costs under control. The Real Risk ## What happens when this goes wrong. Renovation regret is almost always caused by the same root issue: project management vacuum. Here's what fills the vacuum when nobody's holding it. ### Risks of cutting corners - Programmes slipping from 4 months to 12 months as trades arrive in the wrong order. - Budgets blowing out because every variation is priced in isolation rather than against the whole. - First-fix electrics done before plastering — guaranteeing socket boxes at wrong heights. - Discovery of structural defects mid-project that were missed at survey, requiring expensive design changes. - Trades downing tools because they're owed money by the previous contractor. ### Common homeowner mistakes - Trying to project-manage it yourself while working a full-time job. - Hiring trades individually instead of one contractor with all trades coordinated. - Skipping the structural survey and discovering subsidence after stripping the plaster. - Designing the kitchen and bathrooms after first-fix has started — forcing rework. - Underestimating the cost of finishes (flooring, decoration, ironmongery) — these typically come to 25–35% of the budget alone. Our Process ## How we deliver, step by step. 01 ### Free Site Survey Lewis attends in person to measure, assess constraints and understand what you actually want — not what's easiest for us to sell. 02 ### Design & Fixed Quote Once we've fully scoped the work on site, you receive an itemised, fixed-price quotation with drawings or specification sheets where required. Larger projects take longer to price properly — never a vague allowance. 03 ### Planning & Approvals We handle planning applications, building regulations, party-wall notices and structural drawings end-to-end. 04 ### Build Phase One accountable team on site, daily progress updates, protected work areas and a tidy site every evening. 05 ### Sign-Off & Guarantee Full walk-through, snagging completed before invoice, and your personally backed workmanship — Lewis returns to put right anything that isn't right issued on handover. ## Full Property Renovations — recent project photos.

Cost certainty from day one. 02 ### Project-managed end-to-end Lewis runs the programme. You make decisions on finishes when needed, and live your life the rest of the time. 03 ### Trades in the right order Strip-out, structural, roof, first-fix M&E, plaster, second-fix, finishes — sequenced correctly so nothing has to be undone. 04 ### Realistic, written programme A renovation that's quoted as 4 months and runs 12 isn't 'unforeseen' — it's badly planned. Our programmes are honest. 05 ### Single point of accountability One person to call. One person to chase. One person responsible for the result. 06 ### Workmanship we stand behind Across the entire renovation. The single strongest warranty cover in residential construction. Technical Detail ## The detail that separates a 30-year job from a 5-year one. Whole-home renovation is sequence as much as skill. Get the order right and the project flows. Get it wrong and every trade undoes the previous one's work. Here's how we run it. 01 ### Pre-construction phase Detailed survey, structural appraisal, planning checks, design development, M&E (mechanical and electrical) layout, kitchen and bathroom design, finishes specification, programme development and fixed-price quotation. Most renovations need 4–8 weeks of pre-construction before site work starts. 02 ### Strip-out and structural phase Removal of existing kitchens, bathrooms, suspended ceilings, partition walls, floor coverings and fittings. Structural alterations carried out next: load-bearing walls, steel beam installations, chimney breast removals, new openings. This phase typically runs 3–6 weeks. 03 ### Building envelope phase External works including re-roofing, repointing, window and door replacement, fascia/soffit/guttering, and any new openings or extensions. Insulation upgrades to walls and lofts. This phase typically runs 4–8 weeks. 04 ### First-fix M&E and plastering First-fix electrical (cables, back boxes, consumer unit), first-fix plumbing (hot, cold, waste, central heating pipework), first-fix carpentry (door linings, stud walls). Followed immediately by plastering — board and skim throughout. This phase typically runs 4–6 weeks. 05 ### Second-fix and finishing Second-fix electrical (sockets, switches, lights, consumer unit testing and certification), second-fix plumbing (sanitaryware, taps, radiators, boiler commissioning), second-fix carpentry (skirting, architrave, doors, ironmongery). Tiling, flooring and decoration. Kitchen and bathroom installations. This phase typically runs 6–10 weeks. 06 ### Snagging and handover Full walk-through with you to identify any final adjustments. All defects rectified before invoice. Building Control sign-off, electrical certification, gas safety certificate, and Workmanship we stand behind issued on handover.
