Common Questions

Renovations & Refurbs FAQs.

Timescales vary enormously depending on size and scope. A modest 3-bed semi might take 6-8 weeks for plastering and finishing work, while larger or more complex properties could take 12+ weeks. We provide realistic schedules during consultation.

Yes, we regularly work in occupied properties. We contain dust, work room-by-room where possible, and respect your living space. It requires tolerance of some disruption, but many clients successfully remain in residence throughout renovations.

We liaise with Building Control and ensure our work meets regulations, but you or your main contractor typically manage the formal relationship. For projects where we're the main contractor, we can handle Building Control liaison completely.

Older properties often reveal hidden issues once walls are opened. We notify you immediately, explain the problem, provide solution options with costings, and await your decision before proceeding. Transparent communication prevents unwelcome surprises.
