Full House Renovations in Hove

Full house renovations in Hove for tired, dated or newly bought properties. Structure, wiring, plumbing, plaster and joinery in a set order, run to a written programme by one team with one point of contact.

The Right Order of Work

Renovation goes wrong when trades come in the wrong order. Strip out first, then structure, then first fix wiring and plumbing, then plaster, then second fix and decorating. Working this way means nothing finished gets ripped out to reach something hidden.

What Usually Turns Up

Old wiring, failed damp proofing, rotten window frames and undersized joists are the four we find most often once walls are opened up. We survey before quoting and set aside a contingency, so a discovery changes the programme rather than stopping the job.

Living There or Moving Out

Moving out is faster and usually cheaper, because trades can work through the house without setting up and packing down each day. If you have to stay, we phase the work floor by floor and keep a working kitchen and bathroom available at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full house renovation take in Hove?

A three bedroom house usually takes twelve to twenty weeks depending on how much structural work is involved. Rewiring and replumbing add time because they open up walls. We give you a programme by stage, so you can see what is happening in each week.

Should I renovate before or after moving in?

Before, if you can manage it. An empty house lets trades overlap and finishes the job faster, which usually costs less overall. It also avoids the dust and disruption of living through it. If that is not possible, we phase the work room by room.

Do you handle building control on a renovation?

Yes. Structural changes, new electrics, replacement windows and insulation upgrades all need to be signed off. We arrange the notices and inspections and hand you the certificates at the end, which you will need when you come to sell.
