Appleton refurbishments — questions we're asked
Can you do just one room?
Yes — single-room refits are welcome. Bathrooms, snugs and utility conversions are common one-room jobs.
Do you carry out refurbishments on older Appleton properties?
Yes. Older stock around Appleton Reservoir usually needs some replastering, updated electrics and heating tweaks alongside cosmetic work — we quote all of it up front.
Do you decorate, or do I need a separate decorator?
We have decorators we work with on almost every job, so quotes are usually turnkey unless you specifically want to arrange painting yourself.
Can you refurbish a house I'm renting out in Appleton?
Yes — a big share of our refurb work around Appleton is between-tenancy refits. We turn a tired property around inside 2–4 weeks depending on scope and hand over EICR-compliant.
Do you handle bathrooms as part of a wider refurb?
Yes — full bathroom refits including waste re-routes, wet-wall or fully tiled shower enclosures, and new suite are a standard part of most refurbishment projects.
