Full home refurbishment by Enzo Construction in East London

The period homes of Spitalfields and Whitechapel are some of the most characterful in London — and often the most tired behind the front door. A full home refurbishment brings a dated or neglected property back to life while respecting the details that make it special. Here's how a whole-house renovation works.

Why take on a whole-house refurbishment?

Refurbishing everything at once is more disruptive than a single room, but far more efficient. You only set up (and pay for) scaffolding, welfare and site logistics once, trades work in a logical sequence, and you end up with a coherent home rather than a patchwork of projects done over a decade.

What a full refurbishment includes

A typical whole-house project can cover rewiring and re-plumbing, new heating, replastering, joinery, a new kitchen and bathrooms, flooring, decoration and any structural changes such as removing walls or adding an extension.

Respecting period and listed features

Much of Spitalfields sits within conservation areas, and some homes are listed. That shapes what you can change and which materials you should use. We work sympathetically with original features — cornicing, sash windows, fireplaces — and handle the extra care that older buildings demand around damp, movement and breathability.

Sequencing and one point of contact

The value of a single contractor on a refurbishment is huge: we coordinate every trade in the right order, so plasterers aren't waiting on electricians and decorators aren't undoing each other's work. You get one programme, one budget and one team accountable for the result.

Timeline and budgeting

Whole-house refurbishments typically run from a couple of months to the best part of a year depending on size and structural work. We plan the programme in detail and give you an itemised budget up front, with clear points where decisions and costs are confirmed.
