Refurbishment · Manchester
Property refurbishment, Manchester.
We refurbish homes and commercial property across Manchester: whole-house refurbishments of Victorian and Edwardian houses in Didsbury, Chorlton and Withington, and office, retail and commercial buildings refurbished while they stay open.
Manchester refurbishment
Old buildings, made to work.
Manchester's housing is mostly old: Victorian terraces and villas, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, many split into flats and put back together, with services and structure that have been patched for decades. A proper refurbishment fixes the bones first, then the rooms.
In Didsbury we've refurbished through houses alongside two kitchen extensions: herringbone floors and panelling, large-format tile, fitted wardrobes, new staircase railings and joinery throughout. On the commercial side we refurbished a £175,000 service centre in Stockport without it closing for a day, and a £125,000 office in Stockport finished to the boardroom.
