Featured project · As seen in Homes & Gardens
Victorian Villa, Edna Street, Battersea
A detached 1870s villa in the Three Sisters Conservation Area, working with architect Ed Ward of Studio Werc. Behind the retained front facade we rebuilt the house as a light-filled family home, adding a new basement level, a rear extension and a new roof.
Project · Battersea, SW11
Basement Completion, 31 Edna Street
When the original contractor could not finish this luxury home, we were brought in to complete the basement and remaining works, from new steels and MVHR to services connections, bathrooms and plant rooms, coordinating specialist trades through to handover.

Renovation questions
How long does a whole-house renovation take?
It depends on the size of the house and the scope. A full refurbishment can take several months, and a project with a new basement or a rebuild behind the facade can take over a year. Our Edna Street villa took 18 months from start to move-in. We give you a detailed programme with your quote.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Yes. Most of our luxury renovations are architect-led, and we work closely with your designers to deliver their details exactly as drawn.
Can you add a basement to my house?
Yes. We build new basements, including underpinning, waterproofing and work below the water table, to create cinemas, gyms, guest suites and utility space.
Do you work on listed buildings and in conservation areas?
Yes. We regularly work on period homes in conservation areas, including retaining original facades while rebuilding behind them.
Can you take over a project another builder has left unfinished?
Yes. At 31 Edna Street we were brought in to complete the basement and remaining works after the original contractor could not finish the job.
