Whether you have a single room to refurbish, or a whole house to renovate, we offer a complete service from design to delivery.
Home renovation
Knowing what you want to achieve is the most important first step for a home renovation. Our job is to help you define it.
For more extensive projects, we submit planning applications and produce building control drawings. We write a technical specification for the work and run a competitive tender if required. With the contractor selected, we arrange the contract, facilitate the project, and oversee progress against a schedule. We’ve produced a step by step guide to a typical engagement: Style Within Service Summary
Cost of property renovation
What you want to avoid is a beautiful design that turns out to be completely unaffordable. We provide options with different prices, and you decide how best to spend your money.
A kitchen shop will quote for a new kitchen; but what about the lighting, heating, flooring, decoration, or any building work? We include everything showing the cost of the complete project.
Early in our design phase, we compare indicative prices against different concepts to help you choose. We mature your preferred option, keeping an eye on the budget. Because the cost of building work takes many clients by surprise, we’ve published a separate page on the total cost of home renovation. This should give you a good idea of the budget.
Local trades and building contractors
We work with local building contractors to carry out the work, and supply and install fixtures, fittings and soft furnishings. If any bespoke storage or furniture is required, we design and supply that too. Our bespoke furniture page gives more details.
3D visualisation
Our 3D visuals help clients to see what their new home will look and feel like; something they can understand before committing to a particular design. It helps them to confirm what they want (or don’t want), and to communicate this more effectively. You can read more in our 3D architecture page.
The comparison below illustrates how close our models compare with reality. Clients want to know what their significant investment will look like, before they commit – 3D visuals really help.
