A useful first message
Start with four practical details
A short outline is enough for the first fit check. Plans, surveys and photos can follow when they are relevant and safe to share.
-
Property and postcode
Share the address or postcode and say whether the home is occupied, vacant, a flat or a house.
-
What you want to change
Describe the rooms, proposed changes and the priorities that matter most to the household.
-
Useful information already available
Mention drawings, surveys or permissions if you have them. They are not required for the first message.
-
Access and availability
Add parking, communal entrance, stairs, working-hours or access constraints. Privacy-safe photos are optional.
Residential capabilities
Four ways a larger home brief can begin
These categories describe the residential enquiries this hub can assess. The property, boundaries, responsibilities and written scope still need to be confirmed for each enquiry.
Extensions, lofts and structural alterations
Residential extension, loft and structural-alteration enquiries, with design information and responsibilities identified before work is agreed.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Kitchen and bathroom refurbishment enquiries that may bring layout, finishes, lighting, controls and electrical requirements into one early brief.
Decorating and making good
Decorating and making good considered as part of a suitable residential scope, with the finish and boundaries written down before work starts.
Project fit
Check the fit before anything is priced
A suitable first enquiry usually explains
- The residential property and the parts of the home affected
- The outcome you want, without needing every technical answer first
- Known structural, access, occupancy or neighbour constraints
- Any drawings, surveys, permissions or decisions already in place
Connected and future-aware
Smart and efficient by design
It is easier to consider everyday control while layouts and finishes are still being discussed. Compatibility, manual fallback and regulated responsibilities remain part of the check.
Controls and automation
Schedules, sensors and straightforward overrides
Plan useful routines while keeping normal everyday control clear and practical.
Lighting and switchingZones, scenes and sensor-aware lighting
Consider circuits, switching positions, daylight and room use before finishes close the options down.
Heating controlCompatible controls and a practical handover
Check the existing system, desired control points, schedules and supported setup before devices are chosen.
Data, monitoring, security and accessPlan the connections as part of the home
Consider data and Wi-Fi requirements, monitoring, CCTV, entry and shared access with privacy-aware setup.
Clear responsibilities
Responsibilities, checks and written quotations
A useful quotation depends on a clear proposed scope, the information available and an honest view of what still needs to be confirmed.
Understand the property and brief
We review the desired changes, existing conditions, access and the information supplied, then identify what needs a closer assessment.
Make boundaries and dependencies clear
Structural input, statutory requirements, client-supplied information and regulated or specialist responsibilities must be identified for the proposed work.
Set out what is included
Larger work uses a written quotation with the agreed scope, assumptions and exclusions. Any later change must be agreed rather than treated as part of a small call-out price.

Projects FAQs
What counts as a larger residential project?
This page is for home and room refurbishments; extensions, lofts and structural alterations; kitchens and bathrooms; and decorating and making good. The first check confirms whether the property, proposed scope and practical constraints are a suitable fit before a written quotation is prepared.
Do you take on ground-up new builds or small-commercial work?
No. Ground-up new builds and small-commercial work are outside this Projects hub. The page is limited to the four residential capability categories shown above.
Can smart-home and electrical planning be included?
Yes, where it suits the residential brief. Controls, lighting zones, data and Wi-Fi, monitoring, security, access and sensible future provisions can be considered early, subject to compatibility and clearly agreed regulated responsibilities.
How is a larger project priced?
Larger work is assessed and set out in a written quotation. Existing small-job prices do not price refurbishment or coordinated multi-stage work, and any assumptions, exclusions and agreed responsibilities need to be clear first.
Who is responsible for structural, regulated or specialist work?
Responsibilities depend on the property and proposed scope. Any structural input, statutory requirements and regulated or specialist work must be identified and agreed before work starts; this page does not promise that every role is provided directly.
What details are useful in the first message?
The useful basics are the property location, intended changes, main priorities and any access constraints. Drawings or surveys can follow when they are relevant.
Do you cover project enquiries in NW10, NW2, NW6 and NW8?
Suitable residential enquiries can be considered in NW10, NW2, NW6 and NW8, subject to an address, scope, access and availability check. Check the Areas page for full coverage guidance.
