Full house renovations in Woolwich: whole-property refurbishment, rewires, replumbs, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. One team, one programme, one point of contact.
A three-bedroom Victorian terrace, empty, is typically three to five months depending on how much structural work is in it. Living in it while the work happens can add half again and is rarely worth it.
Rarely where people expect. Kitchens and bathrooms are visible and budgeted for; rewires, replumbs, damp work, structural repairs and plastering are the bulk and the least visible. We quote them separately so you can see it.
Sometimes, room by room, and it always costs more and takes longer. If you have anywhere else to be for the first two months, take it.
The roof, damp, windows and wiring, roughly in that order, because they protect everything done afterwards. Kitchens and decorating come last, once the house is dry and the services are in.
Yes. A building survey before or just after buying shows the roof, damp, structure and services, which are the parts that drive a renovation. It turns guesses into a plan before anything is stripped out.
A full renovation is the job where project management matters more than any individual trade. The Victorian stock around Plumstead and Woolwich usually needs the same things, rewire, replumb, damp, windows, plaster, and the order they happen in decides both the cost and how long you are out of the house.
Many Woolwich terraces bought for renovation have been let for years, with layers of quick fixes: plug-in heaters, extension leads for sockets, and bathrooms squeezed into bedrooms. A renovation is the moment to undo those properly and to find out what was hidden behind them before the new work goes on.
First fix, plaster, second fix, decoration. Booked as a whole rather than trade by trade, which is where renovations bleed money.
Damp, roof, windows, wiring. Spending on a kitchen before the envelope is sound is the commonest expensive mistake.
Cornice, fireplaces, floorboards. They are most of why people buy these houses and they are easy to lose in a rushed strip-out.
One number, one programme, one person answerable. Not six trades and a spreadsheet.
Improvised wiring, plumbing and partitions from years of letting traced and removed, rather than built over.
