Home Refurbishments
Whole-property refurbishments that keep what makes a period home worth having — the cornicing, the proportions, the character — while modernising everything you can't see.
Whole-property refurbishments that keep what makes a period home worth having — the cornicing, the proportions, the character — while modernising everything you can't see.
Full refurbishments are the projects where it's easiest to lose a property's character in the process of modernising it. We've refurbished enough Victorian and Edwardian homes across North London to know exactly which original features are worth protecting during a full strip-out, and which building fabric genuinely needs replacing rather than repairing.
That usually means new wiring, plumbing and insulation behind original plaster and skirting wherever it can be preserved, rather than a wholesale rip-out that leaves the house feeling like a new-build with old windows.
Most refurbishments start with a strip-out and a full survey of what's actually behind the walls — older properties often have surprises once plaster comes off. We factor contingency into the quote for exactly this reason, rather than let it become a mid-project renegotiation.

Final walkthrough and snagging before we call it done.
A full single-property refurbishment typically runs 3–6 months depending on scope and whether you're living in the property during works. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've surveyed the property.
It's possible for partial refurbishments, but for a full strip-out most clients choose to move out for the duration — we'll advise honestly on what's realistic for your specific scope.
Wherever they're structurally sound, yes — cornicing, fireplaces and period joinery are usually worth restoring rather than removing, and we'll flag anything that genuinely can't be saved before we start.
