    Full house refurbishment

    Posted 3 days ago

    Chris and his team's results have been amazing! The project entailed a complete refurbishment of my four bedroom house. Tasks covered included a full rewire, new windows and doors, new Vaillant boiler and radiators installation, three new bathrooms, stunning new kitchen, new flooring throughout, full decoration, a new alarm system plus CCTV. The team have immaculately transformed my house into a beautiful, modern home. Chris's ideas, advice, knowledge and expertise were exceptional and I feel lucky to have crossed paths with him.

    Double-storey extension, loft conversion and full renovation completed to an excellent standard

    Posted 5 days ago

    This company completed a major residential project for us, including a double-storey wrap-around extension, loft conversion and a separate external outhouse for use as a gym/office. The work also included a new roof, external silicone render, and new windows and doors. The standard of workmanship was excellent throughout and the project was well managed from start to finish. The team were professional, reliable and communicated clearly at every stage. Any questions or minor issues were dealt with promptly. The final result has transformed our home and we would confidently recommend them.

    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!
