Common questions

Great Sankey 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 Great Sankey properties?

Yes. Older stock around Sankey Valley Park 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 Great Sankey?

Yes — a big share of our refurb work around Great Sankey 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.
