Your Home Renovation Options
We work on a wide variety of Home Renovations projects across Lincolnshire:
Open-plan layouts with concealed steel beams, bespoke cabinetry, statement islands and energy-efficient appliances, all rewired, plumbed and tiled for immediate use on handover day.
Removal of load-bearing walls, insertion of certified steels and smooth ceiling finishes create a flowing living–dining zone that maximises daylight and family interaction.
Lime plaster repairs, sash-window overhaul, discreet services and breathable insulation renew heritage homes without compromising original brick, stone or timber detail.
Wet-room conversions with walk-in showers, under-floor heating and moisture-proof finishes, fully waterproofed and ventilated to exceed Part F extraction and humidity targets.
Full re-wire, re-plumb, insulation upgrade and roof-void ventilation raise EPC ratings while future-proofing single-level living to modern accessibility standards.
Top-to-bottom refurbishment covering electrics, heating, flooring, decoration and a deep clean, delivering a turnkey property ready for immediate occupation or high-yield letting.

Most interior refurbishments including new kitchens, bathrooms, rewiring, replastering, fall outside planning control. Typical triggers include extending a porch beyond 3 m², adding a two-storey rear bay, raising a roof ridge or cladding a principal elevation in a conservation area. Where full permission is needed, SB prepares scaled plans, heritage or design-and-access statements, flood-risk notes if you sit near the Witham or Trent, then submits through the Planning Portal. Expect an 8 week statutory determination; we track officer comments and supply revisions swiftly to avoid delay.
Class A rights allow single-storey rear extensions, porch enlargements and new outbuildings within defined height, depth and eaves limits, provided materials match the main house and any side windows are obscure-glazed. For renovations we exploit these rights to add utility rooms or garden offices without the cost of a full application. We calculate cubic volume, check boundary offsets and complete the optional Lawful Development Certificate so your solicitor has formal proof of compliance. Where deeper rear additions (up to 6 m on semis, 8 m on detached) are desired, we run the Prior Approval scheme, serving neighbour notices and compiling before-and-after drawings. Approval usually returns inside 42 days, letting construction begin quickly.
Whether you knock through a wall, install under-floor heating or fit replacement windows, Building Regulations ensure the finished work is structurally sound, fire-safe, energy-efficient and properly drained. We submit a Full Plans application via the Planning Portal, attach structural calculations for new steel beams, SAP assessments for upgraded insulation and electrical test certificates for consumer-unit changes. Site inspections are booked at strip-out (to expose hidden defects), structural completion, first-fix and final stages. For kitchens and bathrooms we certify ventilation under Part F and hot-water safety under Part G. Once the inspector issues a completion certificate, we bind all documents, drawings, warranties, test sheets into your homeowner hand-over file.
Lincolnshire contains more than 6 300 listed dwellings, from stone cottages in Stamford to Georgian townhouses in Louth. Any renovation work that affects the special architectural or historic interest of these buildings, removing chimney breasts, altering sash windows, insulating behind lath plaster, requires Listed Building Consent in addition to Building Regulations approval. Our heritage team carries out archival research, photographs affected fabric and prepares a Heritage Impact Assessment that explains how proposed works conserve or enhance significance. We specify breathable materials such as lime-based plasters, sheep-wool insulation and conservation-grade roof-lights to satisfy Historic England guidance. LBC determinations typically take 8 to 12 weeks.

For internal changes including, replacing kitchens, bathrooms or finishes, planning permission is not normally required. External alterations such as large porches, raised decking or outbuildings beyond Permitted Development limits need a householder application, while any change to a listed property needs Listed Building Consent. We measure proposed works against local policy, prepare drawings and submit on your behalf, keeping average decision times to 8 weeks.
A typical three-bed house renovation follows a 14 to 18 week schedule. Strip-out and first-fix services fill the first month; structural alterations and insulation follow; plastering, second-fix carpentry and tiling occupy weeks 8 to 12; decoration, snagging and certification complete the programme. Larger homes or listed properties add lead-time for bespoke joinery and conservation approvals.

When layouts change to implement home renovations, we upgrade door ratings to FD30 on escape routes, fit mains-linked smoke alarms to each floor and ensure new glazing near boundaries meets Part B fire-resistance requirements, keeping your insurer satisfied.
Building Regulations for home renovations set minimum 2.1 m clear height under new beams. We recess steels into ceiling voids or choose slim flitch beams to maximise headroom while preserving structural strength.
Yes. We prepare heritage impact statements, source like-for-like materials and liaise with conservation officers. Listed Building Consent averages 8-12 weeks; our conservation joiners deliver period correct detailing for home renovations.
Full home renovations stages run survey, strip out, structural works, first fix services, insulation, plaster, second-fix joinery, kitchens, bathrooms, decoration, snagging and certification. Each is scheduled back-to-back to shorten overall duration.
