Property renovations in Cardiff
Whole-house and room-by-room renovations for Cardiff homes, from Victorian terraces that need everything to family houses that need a better layout.
Homes renovated around the way you live
We deliver high-quality property renovations in Cardiff, transforming homes to meet the changing needs of the people who live in them. Whether you are updating a single room or overhauling the entire property, we handle everything from design and planning to construction.
We understand the architectural styles found across the city and tailor each renovation to complement the character of the house, working with local suppliers so that it is built to last, on time and within budget.

What Cardiff houses usually need
We find the same things behind the plaster in each kind of house, which is how we know what to look for at the survey.
Victorian terraces
Solid walls, suspended timber floors and wiring and plumbing that have been added to for a century. Renovation usually starts with damp, electrics and heating before any finishes go on.
Bay-fronted villas
The larger houses of Pontcanna, Penylan and Roath keep much of their value in their original features. We repair cornices, sashes and stonework rather than strip them out, and thread the new services around them.
Former student lets
Houses in Cathays and Roath going back to family use tend to need partitions removed, kitchens and bathrooms replaced, and a tired interior taken back to plaster.
1930s semis
Sound houses with small kitchens and separate dining rooms. Opening the back into one room, with a steel where the wall was, is the single change that does most.
Local knowledge
The rules a Cardiff renovation meets
Most renovation work needs no planning permission, but a good deal of it needs building regulations approval: structural alterations, rewiring, new heating, replacement windows and changes to drainage. We know which parts of your project that covers, arrange the inspections and hand over the certificates at the end.
Houses in conservation areas and listed buildings are different. External changes such as windows, doors, roofing and render can need consent from Cardiff Council, and it is far cheaper to find that out before the work is priced than after.

FAQs
Property renovations in Cardiff: your questions
Anything else you want to know, call 029 2264 2498 and ask — we would rather have the conversation than have you guess.
Yes. A large share of Cardiff’s housing is Victorian and Edwardian, and we tailor each renovation to complement the character of the house: repairing original features where they can be saved and matching materials where they cannot.
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. An empty house is quicker and cheaper to work in, particularly for rewiring, heating and floors. Tell us your completion and moving dates and we will set the programme around them.
It can. A well-planned renovation is the moment to improve energy efficiency, because the walls, floors and roof are already open: insulation, a better heating system and new windows all cost less when the disruption is happening anyway.
