Renovation FAQs
Answers to common questions about home renovation projects.
How long does a full house renovation take?
A typical full renovation of a 3-bed semi takes 12 to 16 weeks. A whole-house refurbishment of a larger property can take 16 to 24 weeks. We provide a detailed programme before work begins so you know what to expect.
Can I live in the house during renovation?
It depends on the scope. For cosmetic renovations, yes, we work room by room. For full refurbishments involving rewiring and replumbing, it's usually best to move out temporarily. We discuss this during planning.
Do you help with design and material selection?
Yes. We work with you to choose layouts, materials, fixtures, and finishes. We can also recommend kitchen and bathroom suppliers, flooring specialists, and tile showrooms we've worked with for years.
Do renovations need planning permission?
Internal renovations rarely need planning permission. However, if the work includes structural alterations, extensions, or changes to a listed building, planning or building control approval may be required. We advise on this at the outset.
What guarantee do you offer?
All our renovation work is guaranteed. Structural work carries a 10-year guarantee, and all workmanship is guaranteed for a minimum of 2 years. We also provide manufacturer warranties on all products used.
