Swansea’s Home Renovation Specialists
The Sequencing Challenge
A home renovation project involves more than one room and more than one trade. Structural work must be complete before first-fix. First-fix is done before boarding. Boarding is done before finishing trades arrive.
When this is mismanaged, delays compound. One late trade holds up every trade that follows.
How We Manage It
We manage the sequencing from the outset. For whole-house or multi-room projects, we plan the programme and agree milestones before any work begins.
We coordinate plumbers, electricians, and decorators around our own carpentry and joinery work. Problems are flagged before they cascade.
One Point of Contact
Clients deal with one contact rather than managing a roster of independent tradespeople. You brief us once and we handle the rest.
For clients who prefer a design-and-build approach, we incorporate design input at the initial stage to establish a clear brief before any trade is booked.
Common Home Renovation Projects in Swansea
Victorian Terrace Renovation
Victorian terraces in Uplands, Brynmill, and the SA1 postcodes typically require: roof void inspection, complete rewire, replumbing, new bathroom, new kitchen, and internal decoration. We handle the joinery and building elements and coordinate the mechanical and electrical trades.
These properties require sympathetic decisions — matching original skirting profiles, retaining ceiling roses, sourcing period-appropriate doors. We advise on this at the survey stage.
1960s–70s Semi-Detached Renovation
This is the most common renovation type by volume in Swansea. These properties are structurally sound but functionally outdated: narrow galley kitchens, small bathrooms, and internal layouts that predate modern living patterns.
Renovation typically involves opening the kitchen to the rear reception room, modernising the kitchen and bathroom, and updating internal doors and the staircase.
Larger Detached Properties
Properties in Mumbles, Langland, and West Cross require renovation management at a higher specification. These projects typically involve a rear or side extension alongside internal renovation.
Kitchen expansion, bifold doors, new bathrooms, and premium joinery are all common elements. We handle the full scope as a coordinated project.
Structural and Building Work
Wall removal, partition creation, loft hatch and stud work, beam installation, and floor strengthening are all within scope. We engage a structural engineer for load-bearing wall removals where calculations are needed.
For projects involving extensions, see our house extensions page.

Managing Your Renovation From Start to Finish
The Trades Involved
A typical whole-house renovation involves: structural engineer (where walls are removed), groundworker (if drainage is relocated), plasterer, electrician, plumber, tiler, joiner, decorator, and flooring installer.
Coordinating this many trades independently is a full-time job. We take it on so you don’t have to.
Our Role as Project Manager
Our role is not just to carry out the joinery and fitting work — it is to ensure the project runs in sequence and that each trade is ready when the previous stage is complete.
We flag problems before they cascade. Delays are caught early and resolved within the same team.
Accountability in One Place
When one contractor coordinates all trades, accountability is clear. When a homeowner manages multiple independent contractors, delays cascade and responsibility is disputed.

Home Renovation Costs in Swansea
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 01792 949970 for a precise quote.
Partial Renovation
A kitchen and bathroom two-room project typically costs £15,000–£30,000. This covers labour and materials for both rooms, including tiling, joinery, and fitting work.
Full Semi-Detached Renovation
A full semi-detached renovation — kitchen, bathroom, structural alterations, and internal joinery — typically costs £30,000–£60,000. This assumes standard specification throughout.
Victorian Terrace Renovation
A full Victorian terrace renovation (full scope including rewire, replumb, all rooms) typically costs £50,000–£100,000+. These figures cover labour and materials for the full project scope.
Structural work such as wall removal and beam installation typically adds £2,000–£6,000.
Contingency Planning
A 15% contingency is advisable on all older properties. Unexpected findings — hidden timbers, dated wiring, concealed damp — are common in properties built before 1980.
We identify likely risks at the survey stage and factor them into the initial programme where possible.
