Renovation begins with what is already there. Existing structure, moisture, services, access, and hidden conditions must be understood before finishes are promised.
Service overview
The initial survey records visible conditions and limitations. Opening-up work may reveal additional repairs; these are documented and agreed as variations rather than hidden inside vague allowances.

Frequently asked questions
Can I remain in the property during renovation?
Sometimes. It depends on the scope, utilities, dust, noise, and safe separation. A phased plan may be possible after inspection.
What if hidden damage is found?
The condition is recorded, options are explained, and any cost or schedule change should be approved before additional work proceeds.
Can you match existing finishes?
Close matching may be possible, but colour and texture differences can occur with aged or discontinued materials. Samples should be reviewed first.
