Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about property refurbishments in The City of London, answered.
How do you handle damp in older The City of London properties?
By identifying the mechanism first. Rising damp, penetrating damp through failed pointing, and condensation all look similar on a wall and need entirely different remedies. Buildaway diagnoses the cause before specifying treatment.
Do you provide a single quotation for the whole project?
Yes, itemised by phase so you can see what each stage costs and defer any element if you choose. Buildaway also flags where a phase depends on an earlier one, so deferrals are made with the consequences understood.
Is refurbishment more restricted in City of London conservation areas?
Internally, no. Externally, yes. Windows, roof materials and elevational changes are controlled within City of London conservation areas, extensive listed building consent and strict working-hours rules, so Buildaway checks the constraints with City of London Corporation before pricing external work on a The City of London property.
Do you re-wire and re-plumb as part of a refurbishment?
Yes, and in EC1 properties of this age it is usually the right call. Doing it while walls and floors are already open costs far less than returning to it once the decoration is finished.
How disruptive is a full refurbishment?
Considerable during first fix, then progressively less. Buildaway phases The City of London projects so the noisy structural and first-fix stages are grouped, rather than spread across the whole programme.
