Property Refurbishments

Over time, your property in Esher or Cobham will inevitably experience some wear and tear. Through the years, parts of your home may lose the life they used to have when they were first completed, making your house less comfortable to live in as a whole. That’s where refurbishments come in. If you like your home as it is, but it needs a little care and attention to restore it to its former glory, a refurbishment is just right for you. Some examples of refurbishment works a building company may complete for you include:

Decorating
New Door Frames
New Windows and Doors
Paintwork
Plastering
Woodwork

These jobs aren’t particularly extensive compared to other projects our building contractors work on and can be completed relatively quickly, depending on the area that needs to be refurbished.

Property Renovations

In comparison with refurbishments, property renovations are similar but typically more invasive changes to your property. If you think of refurbishments as a means of updating your Esher or Cobham home, renovations are more about transforming it to suit your needs. Some examples of renovation works include:

Conversions
Door Installations
Extensions
Layout Alterations
Wall Installations
Wall Removals

Depending on the scale of the job, renovations may take longer to complete and require more materials and equipment in the process. The domestic builders at our building company are renovation specialists who can walk you through all aspects of your renovation project. This will help you understand exactly what will be required to complete your renovation. Whether you’re changing the layout of your property or adding or removing walls, renovation projects can look drastically different from each other. We will be with you every step of the way to ensure yours is a success.
