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.

Renovating Period London Properties
London's finest residential areas are characterised by their remarkable stock of period properties — Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, and later mid-century buildings that require specialist knowledge and sympathetic skills to renovate well.
We understand the structural characteristics, the typical defects, and the architectural conventions of London's period housing stock, and we approach renovation work with the respect and care that historic buildings deserve.
Whether your property is listed, in a conservation area, or simply a building of architectural character that merits a sensitive approach, our team brings the knowledge and craftsmanship to renovate it to the highest standard.
“Advantage Basements were extremally professional and trustworthy throughout our basement dig and fit out.

FAQs
How long does a full house renovation in London take?
1
The duration of a full-house renovation depends on the size of the property and the extent of the works involved.
A comprehensive renovation of a modest townhouse tyi take 4–6 months from commencement on site to practical completion.
Larger properties or those requiring extensive structural alterations, complex services upgrades or very high-specification interior finishes could take 8–12 months or longer.
This timescale typically covers the construction period itself – planning and design stages add additional time before construction begins. Our project managers develop detailed programmes from the start and maintain proactive schedule management throughout construction to deliver your renovation on time.
What should I do with my furniture during house renovations in London?
2
For smaller renovation projects, it’s of course possible to live in and shift funiture around accordingly.
Most comprehensive house renovations require that the property be cleared of furniture and possessions before works commence. You will need to arrange either storage for your belongings or incorporate them into your temporary accommodation arrangements.
Some clients choose to use professional storage services; others move possessions to their temporary home if space allows. For very valuable or delicate items – antiques, artwork, musical instruments – climate-controlled storage may be advisable.
Our project managers can recommend reputable storage companies and removal services if required, and we coordinate access for removal on the agreed dates. Planning for storage and possessions should be addressed early in the project planning process.
Can you renovate listed buildings in London?
3
Yes, we have extensive experience renovating listed buildings across London. Listed building renovations require additional consent procedures (Listed Building Consent in addition to planning permission if required) and a more sensitive approach to alterations, particularly any works affecting significant fabric or architectural features.
Our architects prepare Heritage Statements detailing how proposals will respect the building's significance, and we work closely with conservation officers to address their concerns. Our craftspeople have the skills to repair and restore original features to the highest standard. Although listed building projects can be more complex and time-consuming than unlisted renovations, the result is a beautifully renovated historic building that honours its architectural significance.
