Builders & property renovations in Trafford

Trafford tenants pay a premium and expect a finish to match. Open plan kitchen-diners and walk-in showers are close to standard expectation rather than an upgrade here.

Renovation work in Trafford

The housing stock in Trafford is dominated by Edwardian semis, garden-suburb housing in Old Trafford and Stretford, plus family stock in Sale and Urmston. That matters, because the right refurbishment specification for a stone terrace is not the right specification for a 1930s semi or a modern apartment. We survey first and price against what the building actually needs.

Rear-of-house knock-throughs are the single highest-return job we do in Trafford — a steel beam and a well-planned kitchen changes the whole property.

We work across M16, M17, M32, M33, M41 and the surrounding Metropolitan Borough of Trafford area, handling everything from single-room bathroom replacements to full property refurbishments between tenancies. All work is carried out by our own directly employed trades under one fixed-price contract, with a dated programme agreed before we start.
