Whole-house renovations

Every room, one build

A full renovation touches structure, services and finish together. We plan and build it as one project, not a string of separate trades.

Opening up living spaces

We take out and support walls to create the open kitchen, dining and living layout most whole-house renovations are built around.

Structural and services work

Rewiring, replumbing, insulation and structural repairs are planned and costed as part of the same build, not left to chance later.

Kitchens and joinery fitted by us

Our own joiners build and fit your kitchen and fitted joinery, so the finish matches the rest of the house exactly.

Traditional materials, modern living

Stone, lime and timber are repaired and matched where they matter, with the layout and services brought up to the way you live now.

Our process

From first drawing to handover

One team designs, builds and fits out your renovation, with the same people on site throughout.

  1. A builder sitting at a kitchen table with a homeowner, pointing at architectural drawings in a Cotswold stone cottage

    First conversation

    We visit your home, talk through the brief and the building, and discuss what a whole-house renovation could involve.

  2. Close view of hands reviewing architectural drawings and a floor plan spread across a table, pencil in hand

    Design and drawings

    We develop the design and drawings together, including planning permission and party wall matters where needed.

  3. A carpenter fitting a bespoke oak staircase inside a stripped-back Cotswold house under renovation

    Build and fit-out

    Our own tradespeople and joiners carry out the structural work, services and finishes, with one point of contact throughout.

    We walk the finished house with you room by room before handing over the keys.

Questions

Whole-house renovation questions

What homeowners and architects ask us before starting a full renovation.

Do you handle planning permission and party wall agreements?

Yes. We manage planning permission and party wall matters as part of the design stage, alongside your architect where one is appointed.

Can we stay living in the house during the renovation?

It depends on the scope. We agree a phased plan with you at the drawing stage so you know what to expect before work starts.

Do you work with our architect, or do we need one?

Both. We work alongside architects on the design, or take the project from first drawing ourselves if you don't have one appointed.

What areas do you cover?

We take on whole-house renovations across the Cotswolds.

Are you a member of a trade body?

Yes, Oak & Stone Builders is a Federation of Master Builders member.

Still have a question?

Call us or send a note — we're on hand Monday to Friday, 8am to 5.30pm.
