Refurbishments
A whole-house refurbishment is the right project when a property needs more than one new room, whether that's an older Lancashire terrace needing a full rewire and replaster, or a family home ready for a coordinated update across kitchen, bathrooms, and living space.

Quick Answer
A refurbishment is a structured programme of works to bring a property, or a significant part of it, up to a modern standard, covering everything from re-plastering and rewiring to new kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring across multiple rooms. It differs from a single-room renovation in scope, usually running as one coordinated project across the whole house.
What It Looks Like
A closer look at the kind of refurbishments work we take on, and how we approach it from first survey through to the final finish.
Our Process
- 01
Survey & Scope
We walk the whole property with you and agree exactly which rooms and systems are in scope.
- 02
Design & Specification
Layouts, finishes, and a written specification are agreed before any work starts, room by room.
- 03
Strip Out & First Fix
Removal of old fixtures, rewiring, replumbing, and structural work as needed.
- 04
Second Fix & Finishing
Plastering, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, and decoration-ready finishes across every room in scope.
- 05
Snagging & Handover
A full walkthrough of every room, snag list, and sign-off before we call the project complete.
The Essentials
Cost, Planning & Timeline
Realistic market-context ranges for Lancashire, not a fixed LBW price list. Every project gets its own free, no-obligation quote.
Typical cost
£25,000 to £80,000+
for a multi-room or whole-house refurbishment, depending on scope and specification
Planning permission
Rarely required
internal refurbishment work generally does not need planning permission unless the property is listed or works affect the structure or use class
Typical build time
4 to 16 weeks
depending on how many rooms and systems are included in the scope
We treat a refurbishment as a coordinated, multi-room or whole-house programme of works, covering structural, electrical, and finishing trades together, whereas a renovation is typically a single room or focused update. Both are handled by the same LBW team from start to finish.
