Property refurbishment in the New Forest
Refurbishing property in the New Forest.
We refurbish houses and commercial premises across the New Forest, from minor repair work to a full refresh, without changing the size of the building.
We start with an in-depth design consultation, draft a few designs and let you adjust them until they’re right. Business premises are designed around your branding.
We organise every trade and plan the work around you, so a refurbishment causes as little disruption as possible to your home or your business.
For homes, a refurbishment might mean a new kitchen or bathroom, a refreshed living space or repairs before a sale or let. For business premises, it can include suspended ceilings that hide cables and pipework, and made-to-measure partitions that divide an open-plan space.
We’ve been trading since 2010, and the business is still owner-run. Customers rate us 4.8 out of 5 on Which? Trusted Traders and 10 out of 10 on Checkatrade, and you can read every one of those reviews on the platforms themselves. Every trade is organised by us, and a project manager keeps you updated from the first visit to the handover, when we talk you through the finished work and any aftercare guidance.

How it works
Refurbishing homes and premises in the Forest.
A refurbishment can mean very different things. For one property it’s a list of repairs and fresh decoration; for another it’s new kitchens and bathrooms and a refresh of every room. We take on all of it, for homes and for business premises across the New Forest.
The design is shaped with you. After an in-depth consultation we draft a few designs and adjust them until you’re happy with every detail. For businesses, the design follows your branding, and the work is planned around your trading.
Before the design is finalised, we check whether any part of the work changes the outside of the building or involves a listed building, and which authority would decide. Then one team organises the trades, and a project manager keeps you informed.
Planning in the New Forest
Refurbishment rules inside and outside the Park.
Internal refurbishment work doesn’t normally need planning permission, wherever you are in the New Forest. External changes can, and the application goes to the National Park Authority inside the Park or New Forest District Council outside it.
Listed buildings need consent for most changes, and some work needs Building Regulations approval, such as new drainage, electrical work or removing a load-bearing wall. We’ll set out what applies before work starts.
