Your Local Property Refurbishment
Specialists in Paddington
Need property refurbishment specialists in Paddington (W2)? Buildaway refurbishes
homes throughout W2 - the conversions on Sussex Gardens, Norfolk Square and
Westbourne Terrace, the apartments near Paddington Basin and Paddington station, and
the flats off Praed Street toward Little Venice and Hyde Park.
Paddington property refurbishment handles flats, conversions and whole houses, with
Buildaway accountable for every trade on site. W2 has a great deal of tired
conversion stock where the wiring, drainage and layout were all compromises made
decades ago, and a proper strip-out is the only real answer. Buildaway rebuilds it
to one specification - structure, first fix, plastering, joinery and decoration -
with the Paddington scope agreed before starting.

What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
“I received an excellent service from the outset with a very high standard of the completed work. Cormac was very responsive to my wish for a traditional period bathroom and helped me to source the suite, the tiles, the paneling and flooring. The team are respectful to the home generally. I am very pleased with the finished bathroom…”
Philomena Mulcahy
“We’ve had a genuinely fantastic experience with Buildaway. Cormac was ultra responsive and excellent at communicating with us throughout our project. The quality of the work was excellent - so much so, that we extended our project by adding a range of other building renovations to our original ask, each completed with care and precision…”
Kiran Collier
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Cormac and the Buildaway team. Greg is an absolute star. Cormac’s communication and advice was excellent, and the organisation and sourcing of additional materials was brilliant. A truly great team, I would thoroughly recommend Buildaway if you are after a stress free and top quality renovation.”
Sim Lewis
“Greg's attention to detail and dedication elevated both the experience and the result - he certainly knows his way around a tile. In addition to the bathroom refit, Cormac replaced all the plastic switches, sockets and pull-cords in the house with brushed brass. Highly recommended and will certainly work with the Buildaway team again…”
Kane Dempsey
“The team turned up when they said they would and kept the house tidy each day, which made a big difference while we were living in the property during the works. The quality of the finish is excellent. The bathroom looks fantastic and the bedrooms feel completely refreshed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cormac and the Buildaway team…”
Helen Sivyer
“From scoping to completion, Cormac was always very responsive, answering any questions we had on product selection and helped us source the products to get the best price. His team worked extremely hard and a big shoutout to Greg for his attention to detail! We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Buildaway for any building project in the future…”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about property refurbishment in Paddington, answered.
How much does a property refurbishment cost in Paddington?
Buildaway prices Paddington refurbishments per property. A cosmetic refresh and a full strip-out around Sussex Gardens and Paddington Basin sit at opposite ends, and the difference is usually what the survey finds in the wiring, drainage and damp. We quote the whole W2 scope up front rather than discovering it later.
How long does a full house refurbishment take in Paddington?
Sixteen weeks is a fair guide for a whole house in Paddington, subject to scope. Buildaway's W2 programmes are built around the order of work rather than optimism, and we tell you the completion date up front.
What does a property refurbishment include in Paddington?
Buildaway's Paddington refurbishments run from single rooms to complete rebuilds. A whole-house scheme across W2 includes structure, services, insulation, plastering, joinery, decoration and any kitchens or bathrooms. We resolve damp and structure around Sussex Gardens and Paddington Basin first, then build the finishes on top.
Do you handle planning and building regulations in Paddington?
Buildaway takes care of Building Regulations and Westminster City Council applications on Paddington refurbishments, plus freeholder consent where W2 leasehold requires it. One team handling the compliance and the construction means nothing falls between the two.
Can I live in my home during a refurbishment in Paddington?
It depends how far the work goes. Buildaway has run Paddington refurbishments both ways: phased around occupants, and full strip-outs with the property empty. Phasing costs a little more and takes longer, but for many W2 clients that trade is worth it. We plan it with you before starting.
Do you offer fixed quotes for refurbishment projects in Paddington?
Yes. Buildaway issues fixed, itemised written quotes for Paddington refurbishments after a proper survey - not a rough figure that drifts upward. Where genuinely unforeseen work appears behind the plaster in W2 property, we agree it with you in writing before proceeding rather than adding it to the final bill.
