Frequently Asked Questions

we understand that any construction or renovation project can raise a lot of questions. To help guide you through the process, we’ve put together answers to some of the most common queries we receive from our clients.

What is involved in a full home renovation?

A full home renovation typically includes a complete overhaul of both the interior and exterior of your property. This can range from structural changes, like removing walls or opening up spaces, to cosmetic updates such as new flooring, tiling, and painting. The process starts with a detailed consultation to discuss your vision, followed by designing a plan that works with your budget and timelines

How long does it take to remove a chimney?

Chimney removal is a highly specialised service, and the timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the project. For a straightforward chimney removal, it can take between two to four days to complete the job. However, if structural reinforcements or additional work, such as ceiling or roof repairs, are required, the project may take longer. We begin with an initial inspection to assess the size of the chimney and its impact on the surrounding structure. Once the chimney is safely removed, we also take care of plastering and decorating the area to match the rest of the room.

Do you handle structural changes like removing walls or adding openings?

Yes, we specialise in structural changes such as removing walls or adding openings to create more open living spaces. Our team has the expertise to handle load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, ensuring that any alterations do not compromise the structural integrity of your home. We carry out careful assessments, including working with structural engineers when necessary, to ensure that proper supports, such as RSJs or lintels, are installed.

Can you help with converting a garage into a livable space?

Absolutely! Converting a garage into a livable space is one of our most popular services. Whether you want to create an additional bedroom, home office, gym, or even a rental unit, we have the experience to turn your garage into a functional and comfortable living space. The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your needs, followed by designing a layout that works within your budget and the building's constraints.

What should I expect during a kitchen or bathroom renovation?

A kitchen or bathroom renovation involves careful planning and execution to meet your design preferences and functionality needs. We start by understanding your vision and helping you design a layout that maximises space while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Once the design is finalised, we manage all aspects of the renovation, including plumbing, electrical work, cabinetry installation, tiling, and flooring. Throughout the project, our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your home.
