Overview
A build that fits your home, your street, your life.
Renovating an older Plymouth home is rarely just decoration. Behind the wallpaper there's usually wiring from the 1970s, a single-skin extension built on no foundations, a back boiler that should've gone years ago and a roof that's quietly leaking.
We take on whole-house renovations — strip-out, structural alterations, rewires, replumbs, new heating, plastering, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and decoration — and run them as one coordinated job, not a relay between five different trades you have to project-manage yourself.
From naval terraces in Stonehouse to Edwardian villas in Mutley and 1960s detached homes in Plympton — we've stripped them back, made them sound and brought them up to a 21st-century standard.

FAQs
Common questions.
Got something specific? Send us a message and we'll come back the same working day.
- Do I need to move out during a renovation?
- For a full back-to-brick renovation with rewire, replumb and floors up — yes, we'd strongly recommend it. For a partial renovation we can phase the work to keep at least one bedroom and bathroom liveable throughout.
- How much does a Plymouth renovation cost?
- As a guide, light renovations (kitchens, bathrooms, decoration, some rewiring) run £40k–£90k. Full back-to-brick renovations on a typical 3-bed semi run £120k–£220k depending on finish.
- How long does a full renovation take?
- A typical 3-bed full renovation runs 5–7 months on site. Larger period homes with structural work can run 8–12 months.
- Will you handle planning and Building Control?
- Yes — we manage all applications, structural calcs, party-wall agreements where needed, and Building Control sign-off.
