Renovations & Refurbishments

Renovations & Refurbishments in Stroud

Stroud sits where five valleys meet, and many of its older homes are stone-built on steep hillside plots with limited access. Renovations & Refurbishments in Stroud therefore need planning around the site as well as the rooms. Stroud is about 12 miles south-west of our base in Cheltenham, and we take on whole-home and larger refurbishments, managing the different trades as one firm.

On a hillside plot, the way into the house affects how materials and trades reach the work, so describe the approach when you get in touch. If the house is listed, consent can be needed for changes that alter its character, inside as well as out. The reviewer beside this page praised how material orders were handled and how other tradespeople on site were coordinated. For an idea of a completed room, our gallery includes a blue panelled living room.

“I have recently used Alpha Renovations Ltd to carry out work on our behalf at the new Cotswold Designer Outlet, just off junction 9 of the M5. From the very start Rousit was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the job. Throughout the building process he handled all of the material orders and was able to complete a variety of skill sets from laying ceramic tiles, spray painting, plumbing and joinery work, all to an extremely high standard. He also liaised with the other tradesmen we had onsite, such as electricians and HVAC contractors. As with all jobs, there are always curve balls thrown in at the last minute. Rousit was very flexible with these and the end outcome was amazing! I was extremely happy with the work carried out and hired their services again to help us fit out another store down at Clarks Village, Street. I would definitely recommend Alpha Renovations Ltd for any building work, whether it be domestic or commercial.”

What matters for renovations & refurbishments in Stroud

A tight site works better when the full scope is clear before anything starts, so the trades and their order can be thought through together. Describe the rooms you want to change and how you would like to use them, and we will talk the project over with you, from building work to the finishing.

  • Explain how the house is reached, especially if the plot is steep
  • Mention a kitchen, bathroom, new layout or decorating so it all sits in one scope
  • Find out whether the house is listed before deciding on internal changes
  • Ask us to talk the work over and put together a free quote for the house

Questions about renovations & refurbishments in Stroud

Our house is on a steep plot with poor access. Should we mention it?

Yes, raise it early. Many older Stroud homes sit on steep hillside plots with limited access, so it is a normal part of the conversation about how the work would be organised.

Can we open up the rooms in an older stone house?

A different layout can be part of a refurbishment. If a wall you want taken out is load-bearing, the Building Regulations apply, and normally a structural engineer works out the size of the steel beam it needs. Tell us which walls you have in mind when you describe the project.
