Building services
in West London.
Everything below is done by our own people, or by trades we have used for years and stand behind. If a job needs something outside this list we will say so rather than learn on your house.
Kitchens
A kitchen is a plumbing job, an electrical job and a joinery job that happen to arrive in flat packs. We take the room from strip-out to a working kitchen: services moved and tested, the floor levelled, units set out and scribed, worktops templated, splashbacks tiled and appliances connected.
- Strip-out and disposal of the old kitchen
- Moving waste, feeds and circuits to the new layout
- Floor levelling and floor covering
- Unit assembly, setting out and scribing
- Worktops, upstands and splashbacks
- Appliance connection and test
Bathrooms & wet rooms
Most people find us through the bathrooms. Tiling and brassware are what you see; tanking, falls and fixings are what decide whether the room is still sound in ten years. We photograph that stage before it goes under the tiles.
- Full strip-out back to brick or stud
- Tanking and waterproofing to wet areas
- Level-access wet rooms and linear drains
- Large-format porcelain and natural stone
- Concealed cisterns, frames and wall-hung sanitaryware
- Backlit niches, mirrors and extraction
Plumbing
First and second fix plumbing across the whole property, not just the room being refitted. If the pressure is wrong or a waste has no fall, we sort that before anything gets tiled over.
- Hot and cold pipework, re-runs and re-pipes
- Waste, soil and soil-vent connections
- Concealed cisterns and frames
- Showers, valves and pumps
- Radiators, valves and towel rails
- Leak tracing and repair
Electrical
Lighting, sockets, extraction and fixture installation as part of the wider job, with certified electricians for notifiable work and the certificates issued at hand-over.
- Lighting circuits, downlights and LED strip
- Sockets, switches and data points
- Extraction and humidity-triggered fans
- Fixture and appliance installation
- Certified electricians for notifiable work
- Certificates issued on completion
Flooring & tiling
Engineered oak, herringbone, LVT, porcelain and natural stone, set out from the centre line of the room rather than the doorway, on a floor that has been levelled and primed first.
- Substrate preparation, levelling and priming
- Engineered oak and herringbone
- LVT and click systems
- Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone
- Acoustic and thermal underlays
- Underfloor heating over-boarding
Painting & decorating
Most of decorating is preparation — filling, sanding, caulking and lining. The paint goes on last and takes the least time of any of it.
- Plaster repair, filling and sanding
- Caulking and lining paper
- Brush, roller and spray finishes
- Wallpaper, including pattern matching
- Woodwork, doors and staircases
- Exterior masonry and joinery
Refurbishments
Whole-property and single-room refurbishments run as one programme, with one person accountable for the sequence. Because we hold the trades ourselves, nobody on your job is waiting on another firm’s diary.
- Whole-house and flat refurbishments
- Single-room refits
- Void turnarounds for landlords and agents
- Loft and dormer fit-out
- Fitted joinery and wardrobes
- Programme, sequencing and hand-over
General building
The structural and carcassing work that sits under everything else — openings, partitions, plastering and carpentry.
- Stud partitions and metal stud
- Structural openings and steels
- Plastering, boarding and skimming
- First and second fix carpentry
- Staircases, doors and architrave
- Making good after other trades
Roofing & exteriors
Slate and tile roofs, membranes and battens, lead flashing, gutters and the front elevation. Most leaks start at a flashing or a valley rather than across the whole roof, so that is where we look first.
- Slate and tile re-roofing
- Breathable membranes and battens
- Lead flashing, valleys and soakers
- Dormers and roof windows
- Gutters, fascias and downpipes
- Render, masonry paint and repairs
Repairs & emergency maintenance
For landlords, agents and managing companies: attendance for leaks, failures and make-safe work, with a photograph of the fault and the fix.
- Leaks, bursts and make-safe
- Lock, door and window repairs
- Blockages and drainage
- Reactive repairs across a portfolio
- Void turnarounds and clearances
- Photograph of fault and fix with every visit
Services, answered plainly.
Do I need to book separate trades?
No. Plumbing, tiling, joinery, decorating and general building are held by us, and we bring in certified electricians for notifiable work. There is one programme and one firm responsible for the result.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
A range, yes. A written price, no — not until we have seen the room. Send a photo and your postcode on WhatsApp and we will tell you the ballpark and whether it needs a visit. The itemised quote follows the visit.
How long will it take?
It depends on the size of the room and what we find behind the walls, which is why we do not guess down the phone. The quote comes with the running order, week by week, so you know which trade is in when and what you have to have chosen by then.
Do you cover my postcode?
We are based in Notting Hill W11 and work across West and Central London: W2, W4, W5, W6, W8, W9, W10, W11, W12, SW1, SW3, SW6, SW10, NW6 and NW10. If you are just outside that, call anyway — for bigger contracts we travel further.

Quickest is a phone call, or a WhatsApp with a couple of photos and your postcode. Ahmad answers the phone himself.
