Step-by-Step Guide to Renovating a London Townhouse

The Step-by-Step Guide to Renovating a London Townhouse The Right Way

1. Initial Consultation & Site Survey

Every project begins with understanding your goals and the property’s unique structure. We:

Visit the site for detailed assessment
Discuss vision, budget, and timeframe
Identify planning or conservation constraints
Propose a tailored project roadmap

2. Design & Planning Application

In London, many townhouses are located in conservation zones or may be listed. We manage:

Architectural drawings and design concepts
Planning permission and building control approvals
Council communication and documentation
Heritage-sensitive design integration

3. Structural Works & Strip-Out

After securing permissions, we prepare the site for transformation:

Strip out interiors while preserving structural features
Address damp, subsidence, or outdated electrics/plumbing
Reinforce foundations, joists, and brickwork
Create access for new layouts or extensions

4. Internal Layout Reconfiguration

We reimagine your space to reflect modern living standards while honouring the property’s heritage:

Open-plan kitchen and dining areas
Basement conversions or loft upgrades
Optimised lighting and flow throughout floors
Smart home systems, underfloor heating, and energy-efficient materials

5. Bespoke Finishing & Craftsmanship

Our in-house specialists ensure superior quality through:

Hand-crafted joinery and carpentry
Marble and premium tile installations
Designer lighting and modern feature walls
Luxurious bathroom and kitchen fittings

6. Final Touches, Snagging & Handover

Before we complete the project, we:

Conduct a thorough snagging and quality inspection
Professionally clean and stage the interior
Provide documentation, warranties, and user manuals
Offer post-renovation support for complete peace of mind
