Everything You Need to Know - FAQs
Answers to Your Most Common Renovation Questions. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.
What types of renovations do you offer?
We offer a wide range of commercial and domestic renovation services, tailored to suit the needs of each individual project. Our team has experience working across multiple sectors, allowing us to adapt our approach based on the type of property, usage, and requirements involved.
For commercial renovations, we have successfully completed projects for restaurants, wedding venues, and children’s play centres. These projects often involve structural alterations, internal reconfigurations, durable finishes, and careful scheduling to minimise disruption to business operations while meeting safety and regulatory standards.
For domestic home renovations, we work with homeowners on everything from small internal upgrades to full property refurbishments. Our residential experience covers homes throughout Helston, Falmouth, Truro, St Ives, and surrounding areas across Cornwall. Whether the goal is to modernise interiors, extend living space, or improve functionality, we deliver high-quality workmanship with clear communication from start to finish.
How long does a typical building renovation project take?
The duration of a building or home renovation project can vary significantly depending on the size, scope, and complexity of the work involved. Smaller renovation projects, such as minor internal upgrades or specific room improvements, can often be completed in as little as three weeks.
Larger or more complex renovations — including structural alterations, extensions, or full property refurbishments — may take several months to complete. Factors such as design requirements, structural changes, material availability, and weather conditions can all influence the overall timeline.
Before any work begins, we provide a clear project plan and realistic timeframe, keeping you informed at every stage. Throughout the build, we manage the home renovation process carefully to ensure work progresses efficiently while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
Do I need planning permission for my renovation?
Whether planning permission is required will depend on the type, scale, and location of the renovation you’re planning. Some projects, such as internal alterations or minor upgrades, may not require planning approval, while larger works — including extensions, structural changes, or alterations to the external appearance of a property — often do.
We guide you through the planning process from the outset, helping you understand what permissions may be needed for your specific project. Where required, we can assist in working alongside architects, planning officers, and building control to ensure all regulations and approvals are in place before construction begins.
Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, giving you confidence that your renovation is fully compliant and professionally managed from start to finish.
What is the process for starting a renovation project?
The process begins with an initial phone consultation, where we take the time to understand your ideas, goals, and the scope of the renovation you’re considering. This allows us to assess your requirements and determine the most suitable next steps.
Following this, we carry out a detailed site survey at your property. During this visit, we assess the existing structure, take measurements, and discuss your vision in more depth, ensuring all practical and technical considerations are fully understood.
Based on this information, we provide a tailored quotation that clearly outlines the proposed work, costs, and timelines. This approach ensures transparency and allows you to make an informed decision, with confidence that your needs and expectations have been carefully considered before the project moves forward.
What is the difference between a renovation and a remodel?
A home renovation typically focuses on upgrading, repairing, or improving existing spaces without changing the overall structure or layout of the property. This can include updating finishes, improving functionality, modernising interiors, or refreshing key areas of the home while keeping the original layout largely the same.
A remodel, on the other hand, usually involves more significant structural changes. This may include moving or removing walls, redesigning room layouts, altering the flow of the space, or changing how an area of the property is used. Remodels often require additional planning, structural assessments, and coordination with building regulations.
Both approaches can significantly improve a property, and we help clients determine which option best suits their goals, budget, and long-term plans during the early planning stages of the home renovation project.
Can I make changes to the renovation plans once the project starts?
Yes, we understand that ideas and requirements can evolve once a renovation project is underway. If you wish to make changes, we are happy to discuss and accommodate adjustments wherever possible.
Any proposed changes are carefully reviewed to assess their impact on the project timeline, cost, and overall build process. We communicate clearly with you before proceeding, ensuring you fully understand any implications and can make informed decisions.
Maintaining open and transparent communication throughout the project is a key part of how we work, allowing flexibility while still keeping the renovation organised, efficient, and professionally managed.
