About our property refurbishment service
Property refurbishment is a practical solution for owners looking to revitalise a building without the need for new construction. At Design N Build, we specialise in transforming tired or outdated spaces into modern, functional environments that meet current market demands. Our services cater to a wide range of needs, from landlords preparing a rental apartment renovation to business owners seeking a comprehensive commercial renovation. We understand that every project is unique, whether it involves a simple cosmetic update to a home renovation or a complex overhaul of a commercial retail unit. Our team handles everything from the initial assessment and structural repairs to the final decorative finishes. By focusing on quality materials and reliable project management, we help residential and commercial clients maximise the potential of their assets. From improving energy efficiency to ensuring total compliance with building codes, our refurbishment process is designed to be straightforward and result-oriented.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical refurbishment take?
The duration of a property refurbishment depends on the scope of work. A cosmetic refresh of an apartment might take 3 to 6 weeks, while a full structural overhaul of a large commercial space or house can take several months. We provide a projected timeline during the quoting phase.
Do I need planning permission for a refurbishment?
Cosmetic refurbishments often do not require planning permission. However, if your project involves a change of use for a commercial building, an extension, or significant alterations to a listed building, permission will likely be needed. We can advise on this during our site visit.
Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we provide refurbishment services for both residential and commercial sectors. This includes home renovations for private owners, office modernisations, and retail fit-outs. We adapt our working hours and methods to suit the specific needs of each sector.
Can I stay in the property while the work is being done?
While it is possible for residential clients to remain in the property for minor works, larger refurbishments are often faster and safer if the building is vacant. For commercial renovation projects, we can often arrange phased works to minimise disruption to your business operations.
What is included in the refurbishment quote?
Our quotes are comprehensive and cover labor, materials, waste removal, and project management. We aim for transparency from the start, so any potential costs for unforeseen structural issues are discussed openly as soon as they are identified.
