The work typically runs from strip-out through structure, new services throughout, plastering, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decoration. On a period house it also means deciding, room by room, what is genuinely original and worth restoring and what is a previous owner's idea that can go.
Everything is rewired and replumbed, because the alternative is finishing a house beautifully over cabling you will want to replace in five years. Heating, ventilation, lighting circuits and the routes they take are set out before the floors go down.
Most of our clients intend to live in the house afterwards, which sets the standard for everything: the sequencing, the state of the site, the relationship with the neighbours, and what the rooms are actually like once the scaffold has gone.
