House Refurbishment in Kingston upon Thames.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Kingston upon Thames it usually means stripping back to the structure, rewiring and replumbing, replanning the ground floor around a new kitchen, fitting new bathrooms and then bringing back the detail that gives the house its character: cornices, joinery, fireplaces and sash windows.
We run the whole job. Our architects draw the new layout, our engineers design any structural openings, and our own site team builds it, so there is one programme, one quotation and one person to call. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed and supplied by us rather than by a subcontractor.
Every refurbishment starts with a site visit and a measured survey. From that we produce drawings, an itemised specification and a programme, so you know exactly what is being done before anyone lifts a tool.

Kingston upon Thames: the houses and the planning rules.
Kingston combines a historic market town with some of the largest private houses in south-west London on the Coombe estates, where detached houses sit in big gardens on private roads. Between them are Edwardian and inter-war family houses and Victorian terraces closer to the river.
We designed, supplied and fitted a kitchen on Coombe Lane North with high-gloss glass fronts, pine veneer, toughened glass worktops and Gaggenau appliances, a large room in a detached house where the kitchen had to match the scale of the space.
The Coombe Hill, Kingston Old Town and riverside conservation areas cover parts of the borough.
Royal Borough of Kingston
Kingston decides applications. The Coombe conservation areas and private estates have design guidance and covenants that affect extensions and external changes.
Detached houses
Larger plots allow double-storey extensions and basements that would not be possible in inner London, though most need a planning application.
Flood zones
Riverside streets fall within flood zones, which affects basements and ground-floor levels.

House Refurbishment in Kingston upon Thames: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Kingston upon Thames?
A whole house with structural changes, a new kitchen and two or three bathrooms usually takes four to six months on site. We give a written programme with the quotation and report progress weekly.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
For a partial refurbishment, usually yes: we keep a bathroom and a basic kitchen working and seal off the rooms we are in. For a full strip-out it is faster, cleaner and cheaper to move out for the duration.
