Home renovation & decorating

Twelve trades. One team that answers for all of them.

Most renovations go wrong in the gaps between trades. We handle everything from a single room repaint to a full property refurbishment under one contract, one programme and one number to call.

How it works

Four stages, and you know where you are in all of them

The most common complaint about builders is not price — it is not knowing what is happening or when. Here is the sequence every job follows, from a single room to a whole house.

  1. 01

    Free site visit

    We come and look at the actual job. Not a phone estimate, not a form — someone who will be involved in the work walks the property, takes measurements and asks what you are trying to achieve.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    A quote broken down by element, with labour and materials separated and the assumptions stated. If something cannot be priced until a wall is opened up, we say so rather than burying it as a provisional sum.

  3. 03

    Programme and start date

    Before anyone lifts a tool you get a written programme with dated stages, the name and number of your project manager, and a clear picture of which days will be disruptive.

  4. 04

    Build, snag and hand over

    Regular updates as we go, a joint walkthrough at the end where you list anything you are not happy with, and a handover pack containing every certificate and guarantee.

Your protection

Promises we can actually be held to

Every builder says they are reliable and honest. These are the commitments that mean something, because you could hold us to them in writing.

Start with a free quote
  • Fixed written quotes

    The price is agreed in writing before work starts. Variations are priced and approved by you in advance — you will never open an invoice containing a surprise.

  • Staged payments

    You pay against completed stages, not up front. A deposit covers materials ordered specifically for your job; the rest follows the programme.

  • Workmanship guarantee

    Our work is guaranteed in writing. If something we installed fails within the guarantee period, we come back and put it right at no cost.

  • Fully insured and certified

    Public liability cover on every job, gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers, and electrical work notified under Part P with certificates issued on completion.

About us

A builder you can still get hold of in week nine

Anyone can be attentive during the quote. The measure of a renovation firm is whether the same person is still answering the phone two months in, when something unexpected has come out of a wall.

We run all twelve trades under one contract for one reason: it removes the gaps. Our own team and the specialists we have worked with for years are booked and sequenced by us, so you are not waiting a fortnight on an electrician who answers to somebody else, and there are no arguments about whose job it was to leave the chase in the wall. One firm is accountable for the whole thing.

  • One project manager who stays with your job start to finish
  • Every trade vetted by us and booked ahead, never found on the day
  • Written fixed quotes, with variations agreed before they happen
  • Certificates and guarantees handed over in a single pack
  • Site left clean at the end of every working day
  • Honest advice when the cheaper option is the right one
