Whether you are renovating a recently purchased property, modernising a family home or planning a complete house refurbishment, our experienced team can manage the project from the initial building work through to the final finishes.

With over 40 years of construction experience, we undertake everything from internal alterations and individual room renovations to large-scale residential refurbishment projects involving structural work, kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and complete property transformations.

Refurbishments Designed Around Your Home

Every refurbishment project is different, which is why we take a tailored approach from the start. We work closely with homeowners to understand how they want to improve their property, whether that involves modernising individual rooms, changing the existing layout or carrying out a complete house renovation.

From initial ideas through to completion, our team coordinates the different stages of the project with clear communication throughout.

Whether you need to renovate a single part of your property or undertake a complete home refurbishment, the work is tailored to your property, requirements and budget.

Full House Renovations

For properties requiring extensive work, we provide complete full house renovation services, coordinating the different stages of the project from initial building and structural work through to kitchens, bathrooms and final finishes.

A full renovation can be ideal when modernising an older property, renovating a recently purchased home or completely changing an existing layout to better suit your needs.

Having one experienced team coordinate the project also means you do not need to manage multiple contractors independently.

Structural Alterations and Layout Changes

A major home refurbishment provides an opportunity to rethink how your existing space works.

We can carry out structural alterations and internal layout changes to create larger rooms, improve the flow between spaces and introduce more practical open-plan living areas.

Where required, this can include removing or repositioning walls, installing structural steelwork and coordinating the associated building work as part of the wider renovation.

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations

Kitchens and bathrooms are often an important part of a larger property refurbishment.

We provide dedicated kitchen renovation and bathroom renovation services, allowing these spaces to be coordinated with the rest of your project.

From plumbing and electrics to installation, flooring, tiling and finishing, our team can manage the work required to create practical spaces designed around your home.

Renovating Older and Period Properties

Older properties often have character worth retaining but may no longer provide the layout, comfort or functionality required for modern living.

Our refurbishment approach can combine existing features with carefully planned improvements, helping modernise the property while respecting its original character.

Our experience includes extensive residential renovation projects involving structural alterations, extensions, loft conversions and complete internal modernisation.

A Fully Managed Refurbishment

Large house renovation projects can involve multiple stages and specialist trades. Having the work properly coordinated helps keep the project organised from start to finish.

Design Solutions South East manages refurbishment projects throughout the construction process, providing homeowners with a clear point of contact.

Our typical refurbishment process includes:

1. Initial Consultation – we discuss your property, ideas, priorities and the work you are considering
2. Planning the Project – we establish the scope of work and how the different stages should be coordinated
3. Construction and Renovation – our team carries out the structural, building and internal refurbishment work
4. Kitchens, Bathrooms and Finishes – specialist trades complete the installation and finishing stages
5. Final Handover – we review the completed work with you before the project is finished

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house refurbishment cost in Essex?

The cost of a house refurbishment depends on the size and condition of the property, the amount of work required and the specification of kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. A complete house renovation will usually require a larger budget than renovating individual rooms. We provide a tailored quotation based on the requirements of each project.

How long does a house refurbishment take?

Smaller internal refurbishment projects may take a few weeks, while extensive or full house renovations involving structural work can take several months. We can provide a clearer expected timeframe once we understand the scope of your project.

Yes. We undertake complete house renovations and can coordinate the different stages of the project, including structural work, internal alterations, kitchens, bathrooms and finishing work.

Can you make structural alterations during a refurbishment?

Yes. Where a refurbishment involves changing the existing layout, we can carry out structural alterations and associated building work as part of the wider renovation project.

Can you renovate older properties?

Yes. We have experience working on older properties and substantial residential renovations. The approach will depend on the condition, character and structural requirements of the individual property.
