Refurbishment · Altrincham, Hale & Bowdon
Property refurbishment, Altrincham.
We refurbish properties across Altrincham, Hale and Bowdon: whole houses taken back to brick, period homes brought up to date without losing their character, and offices and commercial buildings refurbished around the people using them.
Refurbishment
Back to brick, then better.
A property refurbishment in Altrincham usually starts with a house that works on paper and not in practice: a Victorian villa off The Downs with forty-year-old wiring, an Edwardian semi in Hale with a cramped kitchen, or a 1930s detached in Timperley that's been extended twice and never joined up. We strip it out, fix what's wrong with the structure and services, then put it back together as one house.
On a £375,000 job in nearby Wilmslow we took a tired 1930s detached back to brick: full-width rear extension, re-render, every window replaced, new heating and electrics, an open-plan kitchen and living space, an oak staircase and an oak-framed porch. We refurbish offices and commercial buildings in Altrincham too, phased so the building stays open.
What we do
Refurbishments we take on.
Whole-house refurbishment
Strip-out, structural repairs, rewire, new heating and plumbing, insulation, glazing, plastering, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery, as one programme.
Period property renovation
Victorian and Edwardian houses in Bowdon, Hale and around The Downs: sash windows, cornicing, fireplaces and joinery kept or matched, services brought up to date.
Refurbishment with extension
The refurbishment and the extension built together, so the new kitchen, the structure and the services are designed once.
Commercial refurbishment
Offices, shops and commercial buildings in Altrincham refurbished floor by floor, out of hours where needed, with the building kept running.

Straight answers
Questions we get asked.
In 2026 a whole-house refurbishment typically costs £1,400–£2,800 per square metre, before VAT and fees, depending on how far back the house goes and the finish. A 200 sq m house refurbished to a high standard is roughly £300,000–£500,000.
Yes. Bowdon, The Downs and parts of Hale are conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent from Trafford Council for most internal work. We work with your architect or heritage consultant and keep or match original features.
Yes: offices, shops and commercial buildings, including Cat A and Cat B office fit-out, usually with the building in use.
For a full back-to-brick refurbishment most clients move out; for a phased refurbishment you can often stay. We'll tell you honestly which yours is.
