Box · SN13house refurbishment
Period property maintenance, lime mortar repointing and historic valley-side home care — preserving Box's distinctive architectural character.
Full house refurbishments in Bath, Radstock and across BANES — rewires, re-plumbs, re-plasters and refits under one contract. We run the whole programme so you never coordinate trades yourself: strip-out, first fix, second fix, decoration, handover. A 2-bed terrace typically runs 8–12 weeks; a 4-bed detached 16–24. Fixed price throughout — including Radstock and Chippenham refurbishment projects where the housing stock demands different treatments.
Box sits within a steep river valley — the same ground Brunel tunnelled through for the Great Western Railway — whose period properties, from stone farmhouses to former quarry workers' cottages, demand specialist care. Incorrect mortar mixes, inappropriate modern renders and poor drainage management can rapidly degrade these structures. Our approach uses traditional materials and techniques specified to the building's age and construction type, with valley-side scaffolding access, road-narrow site logistics and historic stone matching built into every project from day one.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Coordinating five trades yourself — one PM owns the schedule
Quotes that exclude the "second fix" — everything itemised up front
Period features destroyed by modern methods — lime plaster and Bath stone respected
Rewires and re-plumbs skimped — full-house services renewal done properly
Projects that run on with no end date — 8–12 weeks for a 2-bed means 8–12 weeks
Decoration rushed over wet plaster — timelines include genuine drying

Verified reviews from recent work.
Older property, kitchen with apex ceiling. Very pleased with the professional finish, friendly team. I was asked before painting commenced what I would like. All surfaces fully protected and covered, no mess left. Impressed with the high standard.
