Can you renovate a property in phases while we live in it?
Often yes, particularly where the property can be divided into workable zones. We discuss phasing options and the level of disruption at the planning stage so you can make an informed decision.
What happens if you find problems once walls are opened up?
We flag any concealed issues, such as damp or structural decay, as soon as they are found, explain the implications, and agree a priced way forward with you before proceeding — this is why provisional sums are built into most renovation quotations.
Are there conservation areas in Tunbridge Wells beyond the town centre?
Yes, several residential areas of the town also carry conservation area status. We check the specific designation for your address as part of the feasibility assessment.
