Hackney is mostly Victorian terraces and converted flats, which means a lot of old lath and plaster coming off before anything new goes on. Renovations, plastering, decorating, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, carpentry and maintenance across Hackney and the E8 streets around it.
Hackney is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means blown lath and plaster, walls that have been papered over rather than repaired, single skin rear additions and floors nowhere near level, and every one of those is a known quantity here rather than a surprise halfway through. In practice most of what we are asked for around Hackney is whole flat refurbishments, with everything else on the list available alongside it.
Full and part refurbishments across East London: strip out, alterations, making good, then the finishing trades that turn a shell back into a room.
ServiceFilling, sanding, caulking and cutting in, then two coats laid on properly.
ServicePatch repairs, bonding, full skims and overboarded ceilings, plus external rendering.
ServiceOld kitchen or bathroom out, walls and floor made good, pipework and wastes reworked for the new layout, then units and sanitaryware fitted, tiled, sealed and tested.
ServiceLaminate, engineered wood, vinyl plank and tiled floors, laid on a subfloor that has actually been prepared.
ServiceDoors hung, skirting and architrave fitted, shelving and storage built in, fitted wardrobes, stud work and flat pack assembled properly.
ServiceLeaks traced and fixed, taps, wastes, radiators and towel rails changed, bathroom pipework reworked, then walls and floors tiled with the layout set out properly.
ServiceCurtain rails and blinds, shower beading, regrouting, filling and touching up, shelves, handles, silicone, small repairs and the ten other jobs that have been on the list since spring.
ServiceGarden maintenance and one off clearances: hedges and shrubs cut back, grass and beds tidied, jet washing, plus garage, shed, yard and flat clearances with the waste loaded and taken away.
Across Hackney (E8) it is mostly whole flat refurbishments, plastering, decorating, kitchens and bathrooms. Hackney is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means blown lath and plaster, walls that have been papered over rather than repaired, single skin rear additions and floors nowhere near level, and every one of those is a known quantity here rather than a surprise halfway through. Which of those makes sense for your place comes out of a free look at the job rather than a phone call, because the property decides most of it.
No, it is in the price. Hackney is about 3 km from us in Bow, well inside the area we cover as a matter of course. Where distance would genuinely change a price is a small one visit job a long way out, and you would be told that before quoting rather than after.
Yes. Hackney is mostly Victorian terraces and converted flats, which means a lot of old lath and plaster coming off before anything new goes on. We are based in Bow and cover East London, the Essex side and south of the river, so Hackney is normal territory. If we are busy and cannot start when you need, you get told that rather than being kept waiting on a maybe.
A good deal. Terraces around Hackney were built the same way and they fail the same way: hollow lath and plaster on the walls, hairline cracks that come back every winter, a rear addition with no insulation and a floor that has settled at one end. Because that is expected, the quote allows for it rather than producing an extra in week two. It also means we know when a wall genuinely needs taking off and when a skim will hold, which is the difference between a job that lasts and a job that looks fine for a year.
Small jobs and maintenance lists are usually within the week, sometimes the next day. A room refurbishment or a bathroom is typically two to four weeks out depending on what is already booked. Ring or send photos on WhatsApp and you will get honest dates rather than optimistic ones.
Yes, and nothing is attached to it. Somebody comes out to Hackney, looks at the job, talks through what you actually want at the end of it, and you get a price for the work. There is nothing to pay until the work is done and you are happy with it.
Yes, and a fair amount of the work in Hackney is exactly that: landlords, letting agents and managing agents. We can work to a list, arrange access with a tenant, keep to permitted working hours in a block and send photos of what has been done so the person paying does not have to travel to check.
Call, send a WhatsApp or use the form. Photos of the job help, and the quote and the advice cost nothing either way.
