How Oakridge approaches renovations & refurbishments
Older houses hold surprises. We prefer to open up and survey where we can before committing to a programme, and to talk openly about anything we discover so decisions are always yours to make.

Frequently asked
Can we live in the house during a renovation?
Sometimes, with careful phasing. For whole-house projects, moving out for part of the work is often quicker and more comfortable. We will discuss the options honestly.
Do you work on period and listed properties?
Please speak to us about your property. Listed buildings require consent and appropriate methods, which we will discuss at consultation.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
We stop, show you, explain the options and agree the way forward with you before continuing.
Can a renovation be done in stages?
Yes, where it makes sense. Planning the full scope first helps avoid redoing work later.
