Why Choose Pimi for Renovations
Matching Existing Character
We take pride in seamless integration. Whether it is matching 130-year-old brickwork or blending modern materials with period features, our team has the eye for detail to make new work look original.
Live-In Renovations
We understand you might be living on-site during works. We establish clear zones, maintain access routes, and communicate daily about what is happening where.
Hidden Problem Detection
Renovations often reveal surprises. We conduct thorough inspections during strip-out, document everything, and discuss options before proceeding. No nasty surprises on the final invoice.
Typical Timeline
Budget Guidance
Extension and renovation costs depend heavily on specification and site conditions:
- Single-storey extension: £2,500-£3,500/m² (standard spec)
- Double-storey extension: £2,200-£3,000/m² (standard spec)
- Full house refurb: £1,200-£2,000/m² depending on scope
These are indicative ranges. Actual costs vary based on finishes, structural work required, and site access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we stay in the house during the renovation?
It depends on the scope. For extensions, usually yes with some disruption. For full house refurbs, it is often easier to move out temporarily. We will discuss options during the initial consult.
Do we need Party Wall agreements?
If your extension shares a wall with a neighbour or affects their property, yes. We can arrange Party Wall surveyors and handle the process on your behalf.
What if you discover damp or structural issues during strip-out?
We conduct thorough inspections during strip-out and document everything with photos. If we find issues, we stop work in that area, show you the problem, and provide options with costs before proceeding.
How do you match new brickwork to existing?
We source reclaimed or specialist bricks to match your existing stock. For period properties, we often use lime mortar and traditional techniques to ensure a seamless blend.
Can you work around our schedule if we are living on-site?
Yes. We establish clear working hours, maintain access routes, and coordinate noisy work for times that suit you. Communication is key to making live-in renovations bearable.
