How It Works

Our Restoration Process

Six clear steps from survey to handover — no surprises, no hidden extras.

1

Survey & Scope of Works

We identify what is original, what has been altered, and what is structural versus cosmetic. You receive a written, itemised scope — not a lump-sum guess.

2

Consents & Compliance Check

We confirm whether the property sits in a conservation area, whether listed building consent is needed, and whether any structural work requires a Building Notice.

3

Damp & Structure First

No cosmetic restoration is worth doing over an active leak or a cracked lintel. We deal with damp, timber decay and structural movement before any finishing trades start.

4

Material Matching

Where original features survive elsewhere in the property, we take profiles and casts so replacement cornicing, skirting and joinery match — not a generic modern equivalent.

5

Fit & Finish

Plaster repair, joinery installation, decorative finishes and final decoration — carried out by our directly employed, DBS-checked team.

6

Snag & Handover

We check joints, paint lines, window function and every detail before we call the job done. You receive a completion report and any relevant certificates.

For Landlords & Letting Agents

We Work Around You — Not the Other Way Round

We work with London landlords and letting agents who need restoration work carried out between tenancies or during void periods — without adding to their management burden.

Key Collection & Tenant Liaison We collect keys from your agent, liaise directly with tenants, and confirm arrival windows in writing.

Pre-Approved Spend Limits Routine remedial work proceeds without quote-chasing. Larger projects get a fixed-price quote before we start.

Written Scope & Fixed-Price Quotes Itemised scope of works with fixed pricing for larger restoration projects — no hidden extras.

Consolidated Portfolio Invoicing One invoice across multiple properties. Clean records for your accountant and tax return.

Remote Owner Support Email-based reporting and photo updates on completion. Distance is not a barrier.

Void Period Efficiency We phase works to minimise void periods and get the property re-let as quickly as possible.

Compliance & Consents

We Check Consents Before We Start

Restoration work in London often sits inside a conservation area or involves a listed building. Getting consents wrong can mean removing work at your own cost.

Conservation Area Consent

Changes to windows, doors, roofing materials and street-facing render in a conservation area may need consent even for repair work.

Listed Building Consent

Internal cornicing, fireplaces, and some structural alterations in listed buildings require Listed Building Consent before work begins.

Party Wall Agreements

Where structural work affects shared walls, we help you identify whether a Party Wall Award is needed and coordinate with neighbours.

Building Regulations

Structural alterations and energy-efficiency upgrades require Building Regulations approval. We handle the paperwork and inspections.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from landlords, homeowners and councils.

How much does property restoration cost in London?

It depends on scope. A single room cosmetic restoration typically runs £2,500–£6,000. A whole-house restoration on a mid-terrace with four to five rooms runs £15,000–£45,000+ depending on condition and whether original profiles need custom casting. We provide an itemised scope of works after survey — not a single lump figure.

Do I need planning permission or listed building consent?

If the property is in a conservation area or is listed, changes to windows, doors, roofing materials and some internal features may need consent even for repair work. We check the property's status with the local planning portal before ordering materials or starting work.

Can you work while the property is tenanted?

Yes. We coordinate access directly with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, and we confirm a specific arrival window for every visit. For larger works, we phase the programme to minimise disruption.

Do you handle damp and timber issues as part of restoration?

Yes. Damp and timber decay must be resolved before any cosmetic work begins. We carry out survey-led damp treatment, woodworm eradication and timber repair, and we guarantee the source of the moisture is fixed so the problem does not return.

Can you match original period features?

Yes. Where original cornicing, skirting or joinery survives elsewhere in the property, we take profiles and casts so replacements match the original profile — not a modern equivalent.

Do you work with overseas landlords?

Yes. We regularly work for landlords who own London property but live abroad. We arrange access, communicate by email, and send photo updates and completion reports so distance is not a barrier.

Are you approved to work with councils and housing associations?

Yes. We hold Constructionline Gold Member status, carry £10M public liability insurance, and all team members are DBS-checked and directly employed. We provide full audit trails and compliance documentation for public sector contracts. Contact us for a copy of our standard procurement pack.

How long does a typical restoration project take?

Single-room period feature restoration: 1–2 weeks. Damp and timber treatment with redecoration: 2–4 weeks. Full property restoration: 8–16 weeks depending on scope. We provide a detailed programme of works after survey so you can plan around the timeline.
