Full Renovations
Complete property transformations managed from strip-out through to final finishes, under one contract and one programme.
How we approach full renovations
A full renovation is the complete refurbishment of a property, stripping the interior back to structure, renewing or upgrading electrical and plumbing systems, replanning the layout, and rebuilding every room from first fix through to decoration. It is the most comprehensive residential project type and demands careful sequencing to keep trades moving without gaps.
This type of project suits homeowners modernising an older property, investors preparing a property for sale or rental, or buyers who have purchased a property that needs complete updating. It is common across period properties in London and Kent where original features may be retained alongside full modernisation.
UC-Homes manages the entire renovation under one contractor, strip-out, structural alterations, re-wiring, re-plumbing, plastering, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decoration. What makes us different is that we sequence a renovation as a programme, not a list, so trades are booked in advance against a critical path and the property moves cleanly from structural to first fix to finishes without the gaps that stretch projects out.

What a full renovation involves
A full renovation is managed as a single programme of works rather than a series of individual jobs. The property is stripped back to structure, services are renewed, and every room is rebuilt from first fix through to decoration. The benefit of a single contractor is accountability, one programme, one standard, one point of contact.
We manage the complete renovation under one contract, so the property moves cleanly from strip-out to structural works to first fix to finishes without the coordination gaps that stretch projects out and inflate costs.

A full property renovation typically runs 8–16 weeks depending on the extent of structural and service works. We provide a detailed programme as part of the proposal.
