What a full renovation covers
A full renovation is more than a tidy-up — it’s taking a house, or a big part of one, and refitting it room by room into somewhere you actually want to live. We plan it, price it and run it as one job, with one of us accountable from start to finish.
Kitchens and bathrooms fitted as part of the whole.
A renovation usually rolls our kitchen and bathroom fitting into one programme — you choose the kitchen and suite, we fit them alongside everything else, so the house comes together at one finish level instead of in mismatched phases.
Coordinated trades, not chased ones.
Plastering, joinery, electrics and plumbing for fitting, flooring, tiling and decoration across multiple rooms — sequenced so each trade follows the last cleanly. We work within the existing layout, so there’s no building control, no structural sign-offs, and no delays waiting on things outside our scope.
Family-run, single point of contact.
One of us runs your project day to day — no project-management layer to pay for, no site you can’t get an answer from.
We phase bigger jobs around real life wherever we can, so you can stay in the house while it’s refitted around you. A renovation is a long job to trust to anyone, so it’s worth knowing the family firm behind the work.

Every renovation is different — a two-room refurbishment and a full house are not the same animal — but the way we run them follows the same path. Here’s the shape of it.
The site visit and plan
One of us walks the property with you, measures up, and talks through what you want from each space and roughly what you’d like to spend. For bigger jobs this is a longer conversation than a single room — we’re working out the order of works. You get a written, itemised quote, broken down by area, so you can see what each part costs and decide what’s in or out.
Phasing
We agree a sequence — often the messiest, dustiest work first (strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering), then the trades that bring it back together (kitchen and bathroom fitting, joinery, flooring), and decoration last. If you’re living in, we phase it so you keep a usable kitchen or bathroom as long as possible.
The build
One team runs the programme, with Paul or Martyn coordinating each trade so the next is never left waiting. You get regular updates and a straight answer whenever you want one — and if something turns up behind the plaster in an older house, you hear about it the same day with options and a price.
Handover
We snag each area as it finishes, then walk the whole project with you at the end and put right anything on the list before we hand it back clean.
Timescales depend entirely on scope — a couple of rooms might be a few weeks; a full house, a couple of months — and you’ll have a realistic schedule before we start, not an optimistic one.
What affects the cost of a renovation
Renovations are the hardest job of all to put a price on without seeing, which is exactly why we don’t publish figures or budget bands. The number depends almost entirely on scope and the condition of the property — so every renovation is quoted in writing after a proper site visit, itemised by area so you can see where the money goes and phase the work if you’d rather spread it.
Scope is everything.
Refreshing two rooms is a world away from a top-to-bottom refit with a new kitchen, two bathrooms and a re-planned downstairs. The more rooms and the higher the finish, the bigger the project — but breaking it down by area lets you stage it over time if that suits.
The kitchen, suite and fittings you buy.
As with our single rooms, you choose and buy the kitchen, bathroom suites and fittings — that’s your spend to control — and we fit them and everything around them.
The condition of the house.
Older Lancashire terraces and stone properties are our bread and butter, and they’re also where surprises live — old wiring, tired plumbing, damp, uneven floors or plaster that’s past saving. We expect some of this and price honestly when it appears, rather than discovering it conveniently at the end.
The only way to price a renovation properly is to walk the property. Book a free site visit and you’ll get a fixed, itemised quote — by area — with no obligation to proceed.
