House refurbishment in London has evolved into more than just a facelift—it's now a strategic investment in comfort, efficiency, and long-term value. From rejuvenating dated interiors to enhancing structural integrity, a full-service renovation transforms your property into a modern, functional space tailored to your lifestyle.

Sustainable and eco-friendly refurbishments

Kitchen, Bathroom, and Loft—Core Value Drivers
Not all refurbishments are created equal. Some spaces yield significantly higher returns in comfort and resale value.
Kitchen Renovation
The kitchen is the heart of the home. A well-designed kitchen combines aesthetics with practicality, improving daily life and increasing buyer appeal. In areas like Barnet, Walthamstow, and Southwark, open-plan kitchens with islands, energy-efficient appliances, and ample storage are top of the wishlist.
At TNK, our kitchen renovation specialists tailor each design to maximise space and suit your lifestyle. Whether you're cooking for a family or entertaining in Chelsea, we deliver functionality with finesse.
Bathroom Refurbishment
Bathrooms are critical for resale and comfort. From en-suites in Clapham to family bathrooms in Twickenham, our team delivers beautifully tiled spaces with walk-in showers, freestanding baths, and underfloor heating—all using durable, water-efficient fixtures that blend form and function.
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions are an ideal way to add a bedroom, home office, or guest suite without extending the property’s footprint. In high-demand areas like Finchley, Hackney, and Kingston, loft conversions can increase your home’s value by up to 20%. Our loft conversion professionals handle everything from planning permission to insulation, ensuring your new space is light-filled, warm, and compliant.
Planning and Design Considerations
Refurbishing a home in London requires more than just a vision—it requires careful planning that accounts for architectural style, building regulations, and practical day-to-day use.
Structural Considerations
Properties in Muswell Hill, Highgate, and Ilford often come with unique structural quirks, such as sloped ceilings, small kitchens, or narrow hallways. Our architects and surveyors assess your property’s bones before recommending safe, effective layout improvements.
Planning Permission & Building Control
Full refurbishments may require planning approval, especially in conservation areas like Hampstead, Westminster, or Greenwich. TNK manages all applications and liaises with building control officers to ensure your project is fully compliant.
Period Homes vs Modern Builds
From Victorian homes in Islington to contemporary flats in Battersea, each property type demands a different design approach. Our team understands the structural and aesthetic nuances across all housing styles in London.
Project Timeline and Coordination
Many homeowners hesitate to begin a refurbishment due to fears around delays, disruption, or cost overruns. At TNK Construction, we take pride in providing transparent project timelines, regular updates, and efficient on-site coordination.
Typical Timeline Breakdown:
Initial Consultation & Survey: 1–2 weeks
Design & Planning Stage: 2–4 weeks
Planning Permissions (if required): 6–8 weeks
Construction Phase: 8–20 weeks, depending on scope
Final Snagging & Completion: 1–2 weeks
All work is carefully phased to minimise disruption, particularly in occupied homes. Our clients in Surbiton, Lewisham, and Enfield consistently praise our tidy work practices and respectful site management.
