Refurbishments in Southampton
A fresh start for a Southampton property.
Some properties don’t need new rooms, just better ones. We refurbish homes and commercial spaces across Southampton, from minor repair work to a full refresh of every room.
It starts with an in-depth design consultation. We look at the ideas you’ve gathered, then draft a few designs you can change until every detail is right. For shops and offices, the design follows your branding, so the space works for your staff and your customers.
Whether you’re preparing a property to sell or let, or improving a home you plan to stay in, we organise the trades and keep you informed, so you’re never left chasing anyone.

How it works
Getting a property ready to sell or let.
Many refurbishments start with a decision about a property’s future. If you’re selling, you may want rooms that look cared for and up to date. If you’re letting, you may want finishes that stand up to everyday use and a home that’s ready for tenants on a fixed date.
Either way, we start by agreeing what the property needs and what it doesn’t. Sometimes that’s a list of repairs and a fresh coat of paint; sometimes it’s a new kitchen and bathroom as well. We draft the design with you and adjust it until the scope and the budget both feel right.
Then we organise the trades in the order the work needs: repairs and any electrics or plumbing first, then plastering, flooring, fitting and decorating. A project manager keeps you updated, so you know when the property will be ready, and we talk you through the finished work at handover.
Planning in Southampton
Do refurbishments need permission in Southampton?
Usually not. A refurbishment is mostly internal work, such as kitchens and bathrooms, plastering, flooring and decorating, and internal alterations don’t normally need planning permission. Some parts of a job can still need Building Regulations approval, such as new drainage or electrical work.
Listed buildings are the main exception: most changes, inside or out, need listed building consent. In Southampton, the city council handles planning, listed building consent and building control, and we’ll tell you at the start whether any of it applies to your property.
Before you start
Decide these first and the rest follows.
Repair, refresh or replace
List what needs fixing, what needs freshening up and what needs replacing. It keeps the scope clear and the quote accurate.
Who the property is for
Your own home, a sale or a let each point to different finishes and priorities. We design with that in mind.
The rooms that matter most
Kitchens and bathrooms can make a big difference to how a property feels, so it’s worth deciding early how much of the budget they take.
A date it needs to be ready
If a tenancy or a viewing is booked, tell us. We’ll plan the order of trades to suit it where we can.
