    Removal of load bearing wall and making good.

    Posted 27 November 2024

    Chris and his team provided an excellent service from start to finish, removing our load bearing partition wall, installing a steel beam, plastering, making good, moving radiators and fitting a new floorboard. Communication was very good throughout and everything was explained well and then completed to a very high standard. We’d highly recommend Refurbishment Specialist and would happily work with them again.

    Renovation

    Posted 10 October 2024

    Chris completed a full renovation of our flat in NW3. He has an incredibly helpful can-do attitude - nothing is ever too much trouble, and his team can seemingly sort anything. Full of good ideas as well for when you're at a bit of a loss. Our renovation was hit with a big delay while we waited for planning permission, and I was worried about knock-on disruption, but Chris was great at staying in touch to understand timelines and prioritising our work once we could re-start.

    Covent Garden 1 Bedroom Apartment Full Refurbishment

    Posted 31 August 2024

    I recently hired Chris for a full refurbishment of my 1-bedroom flat in WC1 Covent Garden, and the results were outstanding. Living outside of London, I needed someone reliable to handle the entire process, including liaising with the estate agent. Chris exceeded my expectations, managing the project seamlessly and delivering high-quality work within a tight timeframe. The flat now looks amazing, and I was kept informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind. His attention to detail, cleanliness, and professionalism were impeccable. I highly recommend!

    Outstanding Service and Communication

    Posted 15 June 2024

    I recently had Refurb Specialist replace our hot water boiler, and I couldn't be more impressed. They responded promptly to my inquiry and quickly scheduled an appointment. Chris, the owner of the company, truly stands out for his excellent communication. The team arrived on time, diagnosed the problem swiftly, and efficiently replaced the boiler. Their professionalism and expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them for their incredible responsiveness, punctuality, and excellent communication. Thank you for the exceptional service!

    Excellent Full Refurbishment

    Posted 19 May 2024

    I had the pleasure of working with the team for the renovation of my 4 bedroom townhouse. The team demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering exceptional quality work. They removed the existing kitchen and installed a bespoke kitchen, which has become the centerpiece of my home. Additionally, they carried out decking installation, along with new fencing and painting. The outdoor space has been transformed into a beautiful area. Furthermore, they decorated the entire house, ensuring a stylish look throughout. I would highly recommend working with the team
