Renovations and refurbishments are inherently complex — multiple trades, overlapping phases, and dozens of decisions that need to be made in the right order. Without clear project management, the risk of delays, budget creep, and domestic chaos is significant. At Woodworx, your refurbishment is planned as a single coordinated programme from the outset. Each phase is clearly defined, every trade is sequenced properly, and your project lead maintains oversight of the whole — so the build moves forward purposefully rather than reactively.
Renovation projects can span months and involve significant investment across multiple areas of a property. That makes transparent, ongoing cost management essential — not optional. Before work begins, we define the scope and pricing for each phase of your refurbishment in writing. Your budget is tracked throughout, and any changes are handled through a formal variation process. You’ll never be presented with an unexpected invoice. What you agree at the outset is what you can plan around.
Whole-home or large-scale refurbishments involve extended periods of building activity inside your home — and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team works to a considered programme that prioritises areas of the home in a sequence designed to minimise the impact on your daily life. Site cleanliness is maintained throughout, access routes are managed carefully, and your project lead communicates proactively about what’s coming next. The goal is a refurbishment that transforms your home without taking over your life.
A Renovation Is One of the Most Demanding Things You Can Ask of Your Home — and Yourself.
Large-scale refurbishments require more than capable tradespeople. They require a firm that understands how to manage complexity, coordinate multiple workstreams, and deliver a coherent result across months of activity — without losing sight of the experience you and your family are living through in the meantime.
The homeowners we work with have often been through a difficult building experience before — or have heard enough from others to know what they want to avoid. They are investing in a property they plan to stay in for years, and they want the renovation to feel worth it. Not just the finished result, but the process of getting there.
Woodworx runs every renovation as a professionally managed project. That means clear scope documentation, a phased build programme, dedicated oversight, and a communication structure that keeps you informed without burdening you with operational detail. You engage with us at the points that matter — key decisions, phase completions, and any required variations — while we handle the day-to-day management of the build.
We work across Hampshire and Surrey with homeowners undertaking significant whole-home refurbishments, partial renovations, and structural reconfigurations. The scale varies, but the approach is consistent: planned, structured, and delivered to a standard that reflects the investment being made.
If your home needs serious attention — and you want it done properly — we would welcome a conversation about what you’re planning.

We work on a wide range of refurbishment projects — from full whole-home renovations and structural reconfigurations to partial refurbishments covering specific areas such as bathrooms, reception rooms, or first-floor layouts. We also work on properties being prepared for long-term occupation following purchase. Each project is scoped and managed individually. We focus on larger-scale work for homeowners making a significant investment in a property they plan to stay in.
Multi-area projects are sequenced through a phased build programme developed before work begins. Each phase is clearly defined, with the correct trades scheduled in the right order to avoid bottlenecks or rework. Your project lead maintains oversight of all workstreams simultaneously and is responsible for ensuring the programme moves forward as planned. You have one point of contact who understands the whole picture — not multiple trade representatives to coordinate yourself.
We develop a detailed scope of works with you during your consultation and provide a fully itemised quote against that scope. Larger or more complex refurbishments are often priced by phase, giving you clear visibility of the investment required at each stage. Nothing is presented as a vague estimate. You’ll know exactly what you’re committing to before any work begins.
The foundation of cost control is a well-defined scope agreed in writing at the outset. We track costs against that scope throughout the project, and any change — whether you request it or it arises from site conditions — goes through a formal variation process. You receive a written summary of the change and its cost implication before anything proceeds. This applies consistently throughout the build, regardless of project length or complexity.
Timelines depend on the scale, scope, and specification of your project. All of this is discussed during your consultation, and a realistic programme is built into the project documentation before work begins. We don’t give vague timeframe estimates and then manage expectations downward mid-project. You’ll have a clearly defined schedule at the outset, updated regularly as the build progresses.
In many cases, yes — particularly for phased refurbishments where works can be sequenced to keep areas of the home habitable throughout. Whether remaining in the property is practical depends on the scale and nature of the works. We discuss this honestly during your consultation and plan the build programme accordingly. Where occupation during the works requires careful management, we build that into the schedule from the outset.
Our approach to disruption is active, not passive. We plan working hours and phasing around your household wherever possible, maintain clean and protected areas throughout, and communicate proactively about daily activity. Your project lead keeps you informed about what to expect each day — so you’re never caught off guard. Most of our clients find the experience significantly more manageable than they anticipated.
Yes. You’ll have a named project lead who manages your renovation from start to finish. They are directly reachable, responsible for the full scope of works, and your sole point of contact throughout the build. You won’t be managing relationships with individual tradespeople or wondering who to call with a question.
Change requests are part of most renovation projects, and we have a clear process for handling them. Any variation is documented and presented to you with full details of what’s involved, the cost implication, and any programme impact — before anything changes on site. Once you’ve approved it in writing, the change is incorporated into the project plan and the revised scope becomes the new baseline. The process is designed to give you flexibility without losing financial control.
Yes. Where clients have an existing relationship with an architect or interior designer, we work alongside them as part of the project team. We also have established professional relationships of our own that we can introduce where clients require design input or technical drawings as part of a project. Our Design & Build service offers a fully integrated route for those who want a single team to handle both the design and delivery of their renovation.
