Property renovation for homes and businesses

Bring the work into one agreed plan

A renovation can involve several jobs in the same space. Start with what needs attention, then agree the order of work before choosing finishes or booking dates.

Share a room list, any visible damage and how the property will be used during the work. The team can discuss which painting, plumbing, electrical and cleaning tasks to include, and whether a site assessment is needed.

What can be included in the scope?

Renovation enquiries can combine our existing services. The team confirms which tasks are suitable for your property after discussing the work and assessing the site where needed.

• Interior and exterior painting: discuss surface preparation, rooms or external areas, and the finish you want.
• Plumbing: describe leaks, fixtures or pipework that need attention before finishing work starts.
• Electrical services: identify lighting, wiring or repair needs for assessment.
• Deep cleaning: ask about cleaning the agreed areas once work is complete.

Each item needs an agreed scope. Share any other proposed changes during consultation so the team can confirm whether it can take them on.

From the first conversation to booking

1. Send your locality, property type and a brief description of the work. Photos can help explain visible problems; a site assessment may still be needed.
2. Discuss the property's condition and access. Confirm who will attend an assessment and whether the property is occupied.
3. Agree the tasks to quote for, including preparation, materials and any cleaning. Ask what is included, what is excluded and how any changes will be handled.
4. Review the quotation and confirm the schedule with the team before booking. An initial enquiry does not reserve a work date.

Costs depend on the agreed work, the condition and size of the areas involved, materials and access. A description or photograph alone may not establish the full scope.

Separate repairs from the finishes you want to change

A property refresh may start with a tired-looking room, but the first decision is what needs repair and what is simply a finish choice. A stain beside a bathroom, a damaged wall around a fitting and a colour you no longer like should be separate entries on the work list. Describe the history of each problem so an assessment can distinguish investigation and repair from decoration.

Agree the order where tasks overlap. If a plumbing repair needs wall access, clarify who reinstates the affected surface and who confirms it is ready for painting. If electrical work changes a fitting position, discuss the making-good before selecting the final wall finish. The quotation should connect these tasks so the gap between repair and decoration is not left unresolved.

Retain what works in a rental or occupied home

Mark items to retain, including doors, fixtures, floors and recently finished areas. Record how they will be protected and whether a partial repair may remain visible beside an older finish. For a rental handover, agree the condition record with the authorised owner or representative, including existing defects outside the scope. A photograph and an agreed room list can help prevent a cosmetic refresh becoming an undefined whole-property replacement.

Set a clear boundary for larger alterations

Tell the team if the proposal includes removing walls, changing layouts or work affecting shared building services. Those requests need separate assessment of the design, permissions and required expertise. The painting, plumbing, electrical and cleaning scope described here does not by itself establish that a structural alteration can be undertaken. Resolve those dependencies before booking finishing work.

Check completed work against the agreement

Walk through each completed area against the accepted quotation and approved changes. Record outstanding tasks, any unresolved cause of damage, and the instructions for maintaining new finishes or fittings. Confirm who will address each remaining item. For staged commercial work, agree this check before an area is returned to staff or customers so the next stage begins with a clear record.
