Renovation guides for homeowners in Berkshire

Yes. In a lived-in home we plan the work room by room around you. Floors and furniture are protected before we start. If a house is empty, for example before you move in, sell or let, every room can be done at once and in the right order.

It depends on the house, but it can bring together layout planning, non-load-bearing partitions, plasterboard and repairs, bespoke joinery, flooring and decorating throughout. Everything sits in one written scope and is done in the order the work needs. Each trade finishes before the next one starts on top of it.

No. Load-bearing changes need structural design, Building Regulations approval and specialist contractors. We spot that need early and tell you before any related interior work is planned. We can also suggest who to speak to. Our own work starts once the structural side is designed and approved.

We work within about an hour of Wokingham. That includes Reading, Bracknell, Crowthorne, Finchampstead, Maidenhead and the towns around them, and it reaches into the edges of Surrey, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. If you are unsure whether your postcode is covered, send it to us and we will tell you straight away.

Send the address or postcode, a few photographs of each room, a floor plan if you have one, rough dimensions, your timing and a short note on what needs to change. From that we can tell you what needs a closer look on site and whether the brief fits the work we do.
