Planning Design
-
We'll come to your home or you can drop into our office at 95 East Hill, SW11. 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. 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 accurately monitor progress. Finally we will estimate the amount of each valuation and give you predictions 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.

Design-led Home Renovations in London
The most successful whole-home renovations are those that begin with a strong design vision and maintain it consistently through every decision and every trade.
Our in-house architectural and interior design team develops a coherent design concept for your renovation – establishing the spatial layout, material palette and aesthetic approach that will be maintained throughout – and maintains design quality control through to completion.
This design-led approach produces homes that feel coherent, purposeful and beautifully considered, rather than a collection of independently refurbished rooms.

FAQs
What is the difference between renovation and refurbishment?
1
The terms are often used interchangeably, but renovation generally implies more substantial works – potentially including structural alterations, reconfiguration of layouts and comprehensive upgrading of building fabric and services.
Refurbishment typically suggests renewal of finishes, fixtures and services within an existing layout and structure. In practice, the distinction is not always clear-cut, and many projects combine elements of both.
At Advantage Basements, we use both terms to describe the comprehensive transformation of properties, and we tailor the scope of works to your specific requirements. What matters is achieving your vision for the home.
Can you help with interior design for a home renovation in London?
2
Yes, interior design is a core part of our full home renovation service. Our interior designers develop comprehensive design schemes covering every room and every element of the interior – spatial layouts, material and finish specifications, bespoke joinery design, lighting schemes, fixture and fitting selections and styling guidance.
The design process begins early in the project, running in parallel with architectural and structural design to ensure that interior aspirations are accommodated from the start.
This integrated approach produces homes where design quality is maintained consistently throughout every room and detail – a level of design coherence that is difficult to achieve when interior design is commissioned separately or left until after construction is complete.
How do you control costs during a large home renovation in London?
3
Cost control begins at the design stage, where our team develops schemes that align with your stated budget and provides transparent cost guidance throughout the design process.
Before construction begins, we provide a detailed fixed-price contract based on comprehensive specifications and drawings, giving you certainty on the core construction costs.
During construction, our project managers maintain rigorous cost control, track expenditure against the budget and obtain your approval before instructing any variations or additional works.
We provide regular cost reports showing expenditure to date and projected final costs, ensuring you remain in full control financially throughout the project. Our transparent approach to cost management is valued particularly highly by clients undertaking substantial renovation investments.
