Renovation advice please

Recommended Posts

We are buying a house just on Beckenham/Sydenham border.


We have had the homebuyers survey back and it needs quite a bit of work, plus the work we hoped to do.


Specifically it needs a new roof. We were also planing to do a loft conversion including putting a bathroom up there. We also wanted a load bearing wall knocked out and a new kitchen put there. All the wiring, plumbing and heating needs a redo. The house also needs external re-rendering. We need a new family bathroom and downstairs wc to boot and some walls and cellings re-plastered.


It's a bit intimidating and we need to get some quotes- mainly for roof repair so we can look to renegotiate sale price.


I wonder if anyone can give advice on undertaking such a project.


Is there a company who could do all this rather than us getting different workmen in for each part? Would that be costly, but efficient so worth it or disgustingly expensive? We need sensible advice on planning for the loft and wall removal and we need to consider planning the work so we can move in and stop renting sooner rather than later.


I'd welcome recommendations from people who are prepared to give verbal references and consider showing the work undertaken on their house.



Very excited- somewhat overwhelmed!!

Thank you!!

    • Looking for a celebrity impersonator for a party or any good companies any one knows, please let me know!!
    • That’s another big hike on the Sainsbury’s mini rolls! I spoke to one of the managers on the day of the anchovies price rise but all he could say was that his store doesn’t set the prices. Very vague and not helpful. i started this thread about price rises in  Sainsbury’s and it’s somehow being blamed on Brexit etc! 
    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
