Refresh Renovations Surrey transforms homes across the region with a wide variety of renovation, refurbishment and extension services enacting the likes of kitchen and bathroom re-modelling, extension building and room conversions. The team is headed by James Teague and his project manager partner, Karen Blackburn.

James’ background perhaps isn’t typical for a renovations expert, as professionally he spent over 30 years working as a sign maker. A career he embarked upon straight from school, he worked his way up through a local sign company and since then has flourished to work on hundreds of projects and with a wide variety of materials. Of course, such roles have seen him work heavily with a myriad of stakeholders – which places him well to deal with varying homeowners and property projects. Indeed sign making projects are not always as straightforward as many may assume, as lots of third parties and subcontractors are involved. This is also the case with lots of property renovations; changing situations and ever-developing events that all need to be managed efficiently! James has worked all over the country as a sign maker and has been involved with plenty of recognisable household names. He works to the mantra that customers should never have to chase for information and so strives to keep all involved parties up-to-date at all times and communicating clearly.

At home, James lives with his partner, Karen, their three children, a dog and a cat. He’s a keen spectator of Formula 1 and has been to a few of the events live. He’s also a keen gardener and a bit of a self-professed ‘business junkie’, liking to keep up-to-date with the latest in the business world and reading up on current affairs.

James was introduced to Refresh Renovations by his partner, and despite having no first-hand renovations experience himself, is looking forward to rising to the challenge. Combined with Karen’s project management expertise, the team is truly customer-focused and delivers unrivalled service. 

Refresh Renovations are unlike other traditional home renovations firm as we work to an end-to-end project management approach. Assigning a dedicated project manager to every job, every detail of the works are overseen and managed by this person; right through from design conception to total completion of the renovation. The project manager manages a bespoke team of tradespeople and relevant professionals, put together to best suit the property and project scope.

Refresh Renovations Surrey work throughout the region to enact stunning home transformations, but if you don’t live in the area, don’t panic! We manage a whole host of localised offices worldwide and have won awards globally for our all-encompassing approach and fantastic service.

Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

The 5-Step Renovation Process

Our design & build process

Refresh’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

The first thing your renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation.

2

Concept and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up.

3

Working Drawings and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.

4

Build / Construction Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.

5

Your Finished Renovation

The final stage is for your consultant to ensure that all Council and Code of Compliance documentation is completed. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!

Frequently asked questions

How long does a bathroom renovation usually take in the UK?

The duration of a bathroom renovation project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the scope of the project and the specific circumstances of the remodel. A minor remodel that involves primarily cosmetic changes such as painting, replacing fixtures, or updating the lighting could take a few days to a week to complete.

However, a major bathroom renovation that involves significant changes to the layout or requires extensive plumbing or electrical work could take several weeks or even months to complete. During our working drawings and costing stage of our bespoke 5-step process, we will work with you to prepare a gantt chart showing expected timeline for your bathroom remodeling project.

What factors should I consider when planning a bathroom renovation? UK

If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What design style are you drawn to? (e.g. minimalist, modern, classic)
  • Have you considered a budget? Do you need to talk to a bank or mortgage broker about finance?
  • Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate your bathroom?
  • If you have only one bathroom in your house, have you considered an alternative solution whilst the bathroom is undergoing the renovation?
  • How much space is there to work with, do you need to extend or is there sufficient space available to achieve what you are looking for?
  • How much storage is required?

Having this information ready will make it that much easier to plan your bathroom remodelling project with our team.
