At Tacman, our Refurbishment service is all about breathing new life into your property while maintaining its character, improving functionality, and increasing value. Whether you're refreshing a single space or completely overhauling your home, we manage the entire refurbishment journey with precision, quality, and care.
What is Property Refurbishment?
Refurbishment refers to renovation or updating of an existing building rather than building new. It may include cosmetic upgrades, structural repairs, reconfiguring internal layouts, updating systems such as heating or plumbing, replacing finishes like flooring and tiling, or restoring architectural features. Refurbishment can be partial (one or few rooms) or full-scale (whole property).
Why Choose Refurbishment with TACMAN?
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to a new build, refurbishing leverages what already exists—foundations, structure, shell—so you avoid many of the costs of entirely new construction.
-
Preserving Character: Older homes often have unique features—period details, original window frames, mouldings, fireplaces. We can restore or enhance these while integrating modern comforts.
-
Enhanced Comfort and Efficiency: Modern insulation, upgraded heating systems, better windows, and energy-efficient fixtures make refurbished properties more comfortable with lower running costs.
-
Improved Functionality: You can reconfigure space to suit current needs—open up rooms, change layouts, make better use of light, or add storage.
-
Increase in Property Value: A thoughtful refurbishment can significantly increase your home’s market value when done well.
The Refurbishment Process with TACMAN
Here’s how we deliver excellence from start to finish:
-
Initial Assessment & Consultation
We inspect the property, evaluate its condition, note any structural concerns, understand your goals, preferences, and priorities. We deliver an honest appraisal of what it will take to achieve your vision. -
Design & Planning Stage
Based on the assessment, we produce design proposals. This includes layout options, materials, finishes, lighting, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, etc. If any permissions are needed (for structural changes, listed building work, or conservation area requirements), we guide through those. -
Structural & Technical Surveys
Ensuring foundations, roof timbers, joists, and other elements are sound is essential. We commission necessary surveys: structural, damp, electrical, plumbing, etc. These form the basis for detailed plans. -
Budgeting & Value Engineering
We create detailed cost estimates, itemising labour, materials, fixtures, finishes. If required, we suggest alternatives that can reduce costs without compromising on quality or aesthetics. -
Procurement & Project Management
TACMAN handles sourcing of materials, fixtures, and trades. We schedule and manage all work—structural repairs, demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrics, plastering, decorating—ensuring coordination and high quality. -
Implementation & Quality Control
Throughout construction, we monitor workmanship, inspect installations, make sure systems meet regulatory standards (electrics, plumbing, insulation, fire safety). Our aim is minimal disruptions and smooth progress. -
Finishing & Handover
Finishing touches—flooring, tiling, fixtures & fittings, painting, trim work—bring the project together. Final inspections ensure everything is to standard. We hand over a property that feels renewed and ready to enjoy.

Typical Costs & Timescales
-
Cost Factors: Size of property, level of work (cosmetic vs structural), quality of materials and finishes, condition of existing structure, required regulatory work.
-
Budget Ranges: Light refurbishments may cost modest amounts (for example refreshing a few rooms, upgrading finishing). Medium works involving kitchens, bathrooms, wiring/plumbing upgrades cost more. Full refurbishments of entire properties are the most expensive. Current UK guides suggest that minor refurbishments might fall into tens of thousands, medium-scale works into tens or low hundreds of thousands depending on property size and location.
-
Timeline: A small refurbishment might take a few weeks. More extensive work especially involving structural changes or multiple trades can take several months. Planning and permits add time.
