What We Do
The three renovation scopes we do most often for George homeowners.
Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations
Full strip-outs and rebuilds — new layouts, plumbing, electrical, tiling, cupboards, lighting, finishes. We manage every trade and deliver a single line-item quote, not three separate contractors pointing at each other.
Open-Plan Conversions
Removing internal walls to open up living spaces, with correct structural beams sized by the engineer. We handle the engineering, council notification where required, and the rebuild including ceilings and flooring.
Services Upgrades
Re-wiring to the current wiring code, replumbing with SANS-compliant pipework, ceiling insulation, geyser replacement, and electrical CoC. Often bundled into a larger renovation as the house is already open.
How It Works
- Site visit and scope discussion. We walk the home with you, understand what you want, photograph the current state, and talk through what’s structurally possible, what’s quick to change, and what’s going to blow the budget.
- Scope document and written quote. You get a written scope defining exactly what’s included — room by room, finish by finish — with a fixed line-item quote. No vague ‘renovation’ line items.
- Programme and dust control. We agree a realistic programme, discuss whether you’re living in the home during the work, and plan dust control, waste removal, and daily site clean-up so the rest of the house stays liveable.
- Staged execution. Strip-out → services rough-in → plastering and tiling → carpentry and finishes → final clean. Each stage is signed off and payment released against the schedule.
- Snag and handover. Joint walkthrough, snag list, final touch-ups, CoC and COCs on services, and the written workmanship guarantee on our work.
Common Questions
Do I need council approval for a renovation?
If the renovation is purely cosmetic (new finishes, fittings, cupboards, paint), no council approval is needed. If you’re removing structural walls, changing the footprint, or altering services significantly, yes — we handle the plan submission and council liaison as part of the project.
Can I stay in the house during the renovation?
Usually yes for localised work (one bathroom, one kitchen). For full-home renovations, most clients move out for the disruptive phases. We discuss this openly during the scoping visit and plan the programme around your decision.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A standard kitchen strip-and-rebuild runs 4–6 weeks from demolition to handover, assuming cabinetry and stone tops are ordered in time. Bathrooms typically run 3–4 weeks. The programme is committed to in writing before signing.
Do you guarantee the renovation work?
Yes — written workmanship guarantee on everything we build, plus the relevant CoC on electrical and plumbing work, plus manufacturer warranties on any appliances and fixtures we supply.
