What we renovate

Old homes made warm, dry and ready for the next hundred years, without stripping out what makes them theirs.

Villa restoration

Sashes, scrims and native timber joinery repaired, not ripped out.

Sympathetic extensions

New space that holds the roofline and proportions of the original.

Warm and dry modernising

Insulation, heating and wiring threaded behind period walls.

Kitchens and bathrooms

The two rooms that date a villa fastest, rebuilt for how you live now.

An old house has already survived a century. Our job is the next one.

“They treated our 1905 villa like it mattered. Warm and dry at last, and it still feels like our house.”
Fiona Aitken, Roslyn
“Honest quote, honest timeline, and they found the rot without turning it into a horror story.”
Callum Reid, Mornington
