Owner-occupier refurbishments are also common on probate and long-held properties.

Project review & site visit
We look at your Ilford property and any drawings you have, explain what's possible, the likely planning and Building Regulations route, and the risks — before you commit to anything. No obligation.
Design & planning support
We work alongside your architect or our preferred design partners to develop drawings that are buildable, compliant, and cost-effective. We flag planning and permitted development options early.
Itemised scope and price
You receive a detailed, itemised scope of works and an agreed price before we start, with exclusions and provisional sums shown. Variations are agreed in writing before any additional work begins.
Managed delivery
We coordinate trades, procurement and site logistics, with a single point of contact throughout — working to the requirements of London Borough of Redbridge and Building Control.
