Case Study: 200‑Year‑Old Listed Building, Congresbury

One of our flagship refurbishments involved a Grade II‑listed, 200‑year‑old property in Congresbury. Key challenges included pervasive damp, failing internal plaster and leaking roofs. Our solution:

Roof Renewal: Stripped and re‑tiled all compromised roof sections, upgraded roofing membrane and insulation.
Internal Restoration: Hacked off decayed render, applied professional damp‑proof treatment, re‑rendered and re‑plastered each room.
Bespoke Interiors: Fully remodelled three bathrooms (including two luxury wet rooms), refurbished the kitchen—treating for damp—and installed a bespoke oak floor.

This project exemplifies our commitment to heritage craftsmanship, modern performance and meticulous attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions: Refurbishments

1. What is the difference between a refurbishment and a renovation? Typically, a refurbishment focuses on the “refreshing” and internal repair of a property—such as plastering, decorating, and resolving damp issues. A renovation often involves more significant structural changes or external work.

2. Can you fix rising damp during a refurbishment? Yes. We specialize in identifying the root cause of damp. We remove the affected plaster, treat the masonry, and use moisture-resistant materials to ensure your walls stay dry and healthy.

3. Do you work on listed or period buildings? Absolutely. We have extensive experience with heritage properties in Congresbury and Backwell. We use traditional materials like lime plaster to maintain the building’s ability to “breathe” while modernizing the interior.

4. How much mess does a full-house refurbishment create? Refurbishments involve stripping back walls, which can be dusty. However, our team prides itself on being tidy; we use dust extraction where possible and ensure the site is cleaned at the end of every day.

5. How long does it take to refurbish a single room? Generally, a standard room refurbishment (including damp treatment, plastering, and decorating) takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the drying times required for the materials.
