Renovation

Bathrooms, kitchens and whole rooms taken back and rebuilt: the work behind the walls planned as carefully as the finishes in front of them.

Who this suits

  • A bathroom that has had its day
  • A dated kitchen
  • A room that needs rethinking
A kitchen mid-renovation: plywood carcasses fitted along the wall, the floor protected, no fronts yet

What's included

  • Survey of the existing room
  • Demolition and making good
  • Plumbing, electrical and waterproofing coordination
  • Tiling, flooring and joinery
  • Clean handover

How this kind of project runs

  1. Stage 1 of 6: First conversation

    Material samples laid out: walnut-faced plywood, oak, limestone, linen, lacquer chips and a brass pull
    A call or meeting about the space, how you use it and what isn't working. We talk about scope and a comfortable budget range, and agree whether a site visit is the right next step.

    You receiveA summary of what we heard · A proposed next step

    You approveWhether to go ahead with a site visit

    ThenSite visit & measurement

  2. Stage 2 of 6: Site visit & measurement

    An empty room with the kitchen's outline taped on the wall and paper protecting the floor
    We measure every wall, opening and service point, photograph the space and check what can and can't move. This is where most surprises are found — before they cost anything.

    You receiveMeasured drawings of the space · Notes on constraints

    You approveThe brief the design will answer

    ThenDesign & 3D

  3. Stage 3 of 6: Design & 3D

    Line drawing of the kitchen run and tall storage
    Layouts first, then 3D views and material samples you can hold. We revise together until the plan, the look and the estimate all agree.

    You receiveLayout drawings · 3D views · Material and finish samples · An itemised estimate

    You approveFinal design · Materials and finishes · Estimate

    ThenProduction

  4. Stage 4 of 6: Production

    A workshop bench with stacked plywood sheets, a walnut-faced panel, a clamp and a steel rule
    Joinery is made from the approved drawings. Site work — electrical, plumbing, civil — is scheduled so the room is ready when the joinery is.

    You receiveA written schedule · Progress updates at agreed points

    You approveAny change, in writing, before it is made

    Led byProduction and site leads

    ThenInstallation

  5. Stage 5 of 6: Installation

    Kitchen carcasses installed along the wall, before fronts and worktop
    Fitting on site: carcasses levelled, doors aligned, worktops templated and fixed. The site is kept clean and protected each day.

    You receiveA daily summary of what was done

    You approveSnag list walk-through

    ThenHandover

  6. Stage 6 of 6: Handover

    The finished kitchen with oak fronts, limestone worktop and dining table
    We walk through every door, drawer and fitting together, fix anything outstanding and explain how to look after each finish.

Material options

Concept render: a honed stone sample with an eased edge, resting on a pale worktop
Honed stone — eased edge

Stone worktops

What it is
Natural or engineered stone slabs, cut and finished on site templates.
Where we use it
Kitchen worktops, splashes and vanity tops.
Why
Heat- and wear-resistant, with a weight and presence that board can't match.
Trade-offs
Some natural stones stain or etch; engineered stone is more uniform but less varied.
Care
Wipe acids and oils promptly; reseal natural stone as advised for the type.
Concept render: a reeded glass panel on a brass foot, blurring the light behind it
Fluted glass

Fluted glass

What it is
Glass with vertical ribs that blur what's behind it while letting light through.
Where we use it
Cabinet doors, partitions and shower screens.
Why
Privacy and softness without losing light.
Trade-offs
Ribs collect dust and need a little more cleaning than flat glass.
Care
Soft brush along the ribs, then a glass cleaner.
Concept render: a fan of matte lacquer samples in terracotta, sage, stone, grey and white
Lacquer samples — five colourways

Matte lacquer

What it is
A sprayed paint finish on board, built up in layers and sanded between coats.
Where we use it
Kitchen and wardrobe shutters where a calm, solid colour is wanted.
Why
Any colour is possible, and a matte surface hides fingerprints better than gloss.
Trade-offs
Chips can happen on sharp knocks and need a careful touch-up; pale colours show marks.
Care
Soft cloth and mild soap; no abrasive pads.

What affects the cost

Questions

What happens if I change my mind mid-project?
Changes are easiest before production starts. After that, any change is agreed in writing — what changes, what it costs and how it affects the schedule — before any work on it begins.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the size of the work, the finishes chosen and how ready the site is. You receive a written schedule with the final design, and we keep you updated against it.

Any size of project is welcome. You'll speak to a person, not a sales script.
