In terms of what we can achieve for our customers, a property refurbishment is all about bringing homes back to a good state of repair. The work requires the services of time-served builders, carpenters and joiners, and of painters and decorators, backed by electrical, plumbing and heating work so that all systems are up to date with current codes of practice such as the UK Building Regulations. Refurbishments tend to be smaller in scale than renovations.
This is a service we offer to customers in our hometown of Dorking, and in all areas across Surrey including Bookham, Cobham, Esher and Reigate.
Refurbishments can cover anything from work on one wall of a single room to an entire property, both inside and out. Johnson Construction & Building Ltd is a friend and partner to the domestic sector, but our builders and trades can also refurbish for those who buy homes as “fixer-uppers” with the intention of selling them on for a profit on completion of maintenance and repairs.
A larger property refurbishment can also be an opportunity to increase the amount of habitable space through services such as:
We will be as flexible as you need us to be because, at Johnson Construction & Building Ltd, nothing matters more to us that your personal satisfaction.
Everything starts with an initial consultation and survey, where we will sit down with you and listen to your ideas to build a clearer idea of your refurbishment objectives. If a refurbishment requires any structural alterations, we make provisions for a set of drawings with calculations made for inclusions such as load-bearing wall removal or underpinning (although major construction work typically falls in the field of renovation work rather than refurbishment).
Upon your acceptance of our proposal and quotation, we arrange the start date, order in any materials needed and make sure that we have enough builders and tradespeople available to meet the expected timeframe.
Property refurbishments can also include:
This provides a basic overview of a refurbishment service but if you would like to discuss anything individually, please phone us for help and advice.
Having a property refurbished comes with practical end-user benefits, and a chance to bring your home back into the current age. Based on the work that you need us to do, we can make properties more energy efficient, deal with wear and tear, improve functionality, modify layouts and, perhaps most importantly of all, add welcome resale value should you ever wish to sell.
Our convenient location of Dorking gives us immediate access into all Surrey areas, including Bookham, Cobham, Esher and Reigate. The time it takes to complete a property refurbishment will vary based on the amount of work involved but, however long the job takes, we will be on time every day and will work conscientiously so as not to disrupt your lifestyle or routines.
We know that we can only earn your complete satisfaction by earning your trust first, and by making you the most important person in our business.
