Property refurbishment
Property refurbishment
Practical refurbishment for homes that need more than a cosmetic refresh, with the sequence of trades and decisions managed as one project.
The client problem
What brings clients to us
A property may be dated, damaged, difficult to live in or the result of years of piecemeal changes. Homeowners and investors often need a clear scope that brings together kitchens, bathrooms, services, plastering, flooring and joinery without losing control of the programme.
How Dartside approaches it
Dartside starts by understanding how the building is constructed, what can be retained and which work must happen first. The aim is a realistic written scope, sensible allowances and a sequence that avoids one trade undoing another's work.

The process
What the work normally involves
Stage 1
Initial enquiry with photographs, location and intended outcome
Stage 2
Site visit and inspection of the existing property
Stage 3
Written scope, estimate, assumptions and exclusions
Stage 4
Agreement of finishes, access, programme and payment stages
Stage 5
Coordinated construction, regular updates and final inspection
