Planning Design
-
We'll come to your home or you can drop into our office at 95 East Hill, SW18. This initial meeting will allow us to understand your aspirations, appreciate your requirements and design the space you want. Our surveyor will then discuss your needs and the practicalities of the project. Within days of this initial consultation we will provide a detailed proposal with an estimated budget.
-
Ideas start taking shape. The architectural designs and schematics will give you an accurate picture of how your property will look once completed. When you're happy with the plans and have approved the budget, we can apply for the necessary permissions.
These are important documents for you. Advantage always appreciate that this is your home and endeavour to minimise the impact the construction has on your life. Our schedule of works gives you detailed and itemised list and costings of key features of your project.We then produce an accurate timetable of what to expect and when that will enable you to accuratley monitor progress. Finally we will estimate the amount of each valuation and give you preditions of when these are to fall due.
-
We manage this whole process: structural designs and calculations are drawn up to create a practical blueprint for your new living space and planning consents obtained so the construction can begin. This is the point your ideas take shape. Advantage provides the structural designs and calculations to create a practical blue print for your new living space. When these detailed designs have been approved the job of construction can begin.
-
Our schedule of works gives a detailed and itemised list plus costings for key features and phases. Successful project management is all about communication. Advantage is a tight knit and efficient team and while we're in your home we make sure that you are kept up to date and happy with our progress. Efficient communication avoids problems and delays and is the best way to keep to budget and schedule.
What does a full property refurbishment include?
A full property refurbishment encompasses every aspect of bringing a London home to the highest standard. This includes:
Initial consultations, feasibility studies and conceptualisation
Design and schematics help you to visualise your future home
Structural works ranging from excavation or addressing any structural defects, to interior changes such as removing walls and creating new openings
All building services, such as rewiring, plumbing and heating systems, mechanical ventilation and smart home technology
Renewal of the building envelope, including roof, windows, doors and external walls
Complete interior works, including new flooring throughout, wall finishes, ceilings, joinery and decoration
Kitchen and bathroom design and installation
Our integrated approach means a single team manages all of these elements, coordinating every trade and maintaining consistent quality throughout. The scope of each refurbishment is tailored to your property's specific condition and your aspirations.
Construction
-
The Advantage team has skills and experience that general builders don't, because of our specialist nature of work. As such, it is common for us to undertake all the works for you, both above and below ground such as kitchen extensions/side returns and even whole house refurbishment. However, if you have a current team we are pleased to undertake only the specialist ground works if you wish.
-
We will include all excavation and removal of spoil, reinforced concrete and steel works, together with all temporary and permanent propping works, followed by the waterproofing and drainage that are so critical.
London Period Property Refurbishment
Advantage Basements & Refurbishments have extensive experience working on period properties such as Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian buildings across London. The art of blending period and contemporary elements requires a sensitive eye and skilled craftsmanship.
We’ll help identify original features of significance and worthy of retention – cornicing, panelling, fireplaces, original joinery, decorative plasterwork – and ensure these are carefully protected, restored or sensitively repaired.
Modern interventions – new joinery, lighting, kitchen design, bathroom installations – are then designed to complement rather than compete with these period features. Materials, proportions and detailing are chosen to create harmony between old and new.
The result is an interior that honours its architectural heritage and embraces contemporary luxury and comfort. Our interior design team has particular expertise in this area, having refurbished many of London's finest period properties

Can you refurbish my London property while I live in it?
Whether you can remain in your property during refurbishment depends on the scope of works and your tolerance for disruption.
Partial refurbishments focusing on specific floors or areas of a house can sometimes be phased to allow occupation of unaffected areas, particularly in larger properties.
However, comprehensive whole-house refurbishments involving major structural works, replacement of all services or complete strip-out typically require temporary relocation – both for your comfort and to allow construction to proceed efficiently without the constraints of maintaining habitable conditions.
Our project managers discuss these practical considerations thoroughly during the planning phase, helping you make informed decisions about whether to remain or relocate during the works.
We’ll ensure to create a plan that works around your life, your schedule and your family dynamic.
