Do you refurbish both homes and commercial properties?
Yes. Lian Construction carries out residential refurbishments, rental upgrades, commercial refits and mixed repair programmes across London.
Can you include repairs in the refurbishment quote?
Yes. Structural repairs, leak damage, plasterboard repair, tiling and roofing works can be included where they are part of the same project.
How do you sequence the work if I'm still living in the property?
We plan around occupied rooms, protect retained areas with dust sheets and barriers, and schedule the noisiest, messiest work first so you're not living through repeated disruption. Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the last spaces closed off since you'll need them longest.
What condition issues do you commonly find once work starts on older London properties?
Damp, tired plasterboard, dated wiring routes and uneven floors are common in London's older housing stock. Where we uncover these during strip-out, we flag them straight away and price the additional work before continuing, rather than absorbing it into the original scope unannounced.
Do I need to move out during a full refurbishment?
It depends on scope. A single room or light-touch update can often be done with you living in the property, but a full strip-out involving structural work, rewiring or replastering throughout is usually easier and faster with the property vacant.
