Everything we do

Renovation services in Worcester, under one contract

Sixteen trades, one point of contact, one quote. The usual renovation failure is not bad workmanship — it is three separate contractors each blaming the other for the same gap between their work. Everything below sits under one contract, so that gap stays ours.

Whole-property work

When the whole house is the project

These are the jobs where sequencing matters more than any single trade. Get the order wrong and you plaster before the wiring, or lay a floor before the roof is watertight.

Full house renovation

Whole-property refurbishment, sequenced so you are not living around a half-finished house for longer than necessary. Structure, services, then finishes — in that order.

House extensions

Single and double storey, with planning, Building Regulations and party wall notices handled. Most single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development — we check before you pay for drawings.

Loft conversions

Dormer and hip-to-gable. We measure head height at survey, because on a 1930s Worcester semi that number decides whether you get a room or an expensive cupboard.

Garage conversions

Usually the cheapest square metres in a Worcester house — provided the floor level, damp detail and insulation are done properly rather than boarded over.

Basement conversions

Cellars into usable rooms, with tanking specified for the ground you actually have rather than a standard detail applied everywhere.

Annexes & in-law apartments

Self-contained accommodation for family or letting, built to the right regulations from the start — which is a different specification from a garden room.

Room by room

Kitchens, bathrooms and the rooms you use most

Kitchen renovation

Design, supply and fit. The value is usually in the moves that make the layout work — not in the units, which is where most quotes concentrate.

Bathroom renovation

Full refits, including the plumbing routes through solid walls and suspended timber floors that decide whether the ceiling below survives.

Full bathroom installation

Complete installation from strip-out to final seal, with the first-fix set out before any tiling begins.

Small bathroom solutions

Worcester terraces have small bathrooms. Getting a usable room out of one is a layout problem before it is a product problem.

Wet rooms

Properly formed falls and full tanking. A wet room that leaks is not a plumbing fault, it is a waterproofing one.

Accessible bathrooms

Level access, grab rails set into solid backing, and layouts that work for a wheelchair or a carer — for households staying in the home they want.

Thermostatic & digital showers

Specified against your actual water pressure and system type, which is why some installations disappoint and others do not.

Design & build

Design and construction under one contract, so there is nobody to blame between the drawing and the building.

Individual trades

The finishing work, done by the same team

We take these on their own as well as part of a larger job. On an older Worcester property several of them are specification decisions rather than shopping decisions.

General building

Structural openings, brickwork, groundworks and the work that holds everything else up.

Plastering

Gypsum where it belongs and lime where the wall needs to breathe — which on pre-1930 solid brick it usually does.

Flooring

Timber, engineered, tile and vinyl, laid on a subfloor that has been checked rather than assumed.

Tiling & cladding

Set out from the centre and the eye line, not from the corner — the difference you notice every day afterwards.

Underfloor heating

Wet and electric systems, specified against the floor build-up and the insulation actually present below.

Windows & doors

Replacement units flashed properly into the opening. In a conservation area, timber like for like rather than uPVC.

Common questions

Which service do I actually need?

I need more space. Extension, loft or garage?

In cost order it is usually garage conversion, then loft, then extension — but the right answer depends on your house. A garage conversion gives you a room on the ground floor where the plot allows nothing else. A loft gives a bedroom without losing garden. An extension gives the most space and costs the most. We look at all three at survey and tell you which your property actually supports.

Can I have one trade rather than the whole project?

Yes. Plastering, flooring, tiling, a bathroom or a kitchen on its own are all normal work for us. The reason we push the single-contract route on bigger jobs is not sales — it is that the gaps between separate contractors are where renovations go wrong.

Do you handle planning and Building Regulations?

Yes, including party wall notices where they apply, which on Worcester’s terraces and semis is more often than people expect. Notice periods run to two months, so we start them at design stage rather than discovering them at the point everyone thought work was beginning.

Not sure which of these you need?

Tell us what is wrong with the house. We will tell you which work fixes it, and what it costs.
