Builders & property renovations in Walkden
Walkden's motorway and rail links make it popular with commuting tenants, and landlord competition is increasing year on year.
Renovation work in Walkden
The housing stock in Walkden is dominated by postwar semis and newer estate housing with some older terraces. 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.
Modern estate housing in Walkden usually needs kitchen and bathroom replacement rather than structural work.
We work across M28 and the surrounding Salford 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.
