The Refit Approach to External Projects
Consultation and Design: We start with a site visit to assess your current exterior, discuss your goals, and understand the local environment. We then develop a detailed, weatherproof plan that harmonizes with your home’s style.
Ground Preparation: Proper foundation is critical for exterior works. We ensure superior ground clearance, leveling, and drainage installation before any main construction begins, preventing future issues.
Quality Material Selection: We advise on the best materials for longevity and look, balancing low-maintenance requirements with high-end finish, from durable Indian sandstone for patios to robust treated timber for fences.
Expert Installation: Our skilled tradespeople meticulously execute the project, ensuring all surfaces are laid evenly, all structures are built securely, and every detail, such as mortar color and joint finishing, meets our rigorous quality standards.
Final Review: We conduct a final walk-through with you to ensure the external works not only meet but exceed your expectations in terms of both visual appeal and functionality.
