What customers say
Brunon Rogowski executed the full restoration and refurbishment of this Victorian flat in Edinburgh, for one of our clients. Plumbing, heating and electric services were replaced, walls were replastered and decorated and floors sanded. The existing kitchen and bathroom were entirely renewed and a new en-suite shower room and dressing area were created for the master bedroom. The project ran very smoothly and the final result was perfectly delivered. Brunon and his staff are a pleasure to work with; professional, proactive and caring. I will without hesitation recommend them to my future clients.
We discovered Brunon through Edinburgh Trusted Trader and couldn’t be happier with the results. They removed an internal living room wall and a chimney stack in our kitchen, and then installed a new kitchen. The space was tricky, with lots of awkward angles, but Brunon and his team were fantastic problem-solvers. They even managed to fit our fridge-freezer with custom carpentry. The attention to detail was outstanding, from the kitchen units to the plastering. Brunon has a great team, and we’re especially grateful to Alex, Marek, and Richard.

What can the renovation include?
The agreed work can include kitchens, bathrooms, electrical and plumbing upgrades, plastering, joinery, storage, flooring and decoration. The quotation sets out which rooms, materials and stages are included.
Floors, doors and services often connect one room to another. We plan the agreed work around those connections, as well as the building the flat belongs to.
Getting the work into the building
The stair, delivery access and waste arrangements belong in the plan. Building or factor requirements can affect working hours and the order of work.
Floors and adjoining rooms
The floor build-up can affect doors and fitted storage. Existing services may run beyond the room being changed, so those connections need to be understood before work.
How is the work planned?
Tenement, post-war and modern managed buildings bring different questions. Shared stairs, existing services, floor construction and building rules can affect how the work is carried out. We discuss those practical details alongside your room plans.
How we workIs this the right page for a tenement flat?
The flat-renovation service covers connected work across a flat. The tenement page goes further into traditional fabric, the shared close and the decisions about what to keep.
Can we stay in the flat?
We discuss the rooms and essential services affected before work. Extensive rewiring, plumbing or heating work can make part of the programme unsuitable for living in the flat. Temporary arrangements are agreed for the project.
What if we want to change the layout?
Tell us what you have in mind and share any prepared drawings. Where the proposal needs design, engineering or permissions, you appoint the relevant professionals before that work can be defined and priced.
What happens after an enquiry?
We reply by email and arrange a follow-up call to work through your brief. We then assess the property information, with a site visit where useful, before a written quotation.
Do you offer labour-only work?
We supply and fit the agreed work. We do not offer labour-only or fit-only work. We do not install client-supplied materials or products.
How long can a flat renovation take?
As a broad guide to time on site, a single room commonly takes two to four weeks, a multi-room renovation four to eight weeks and a full flat eight to fourteen weeks. Structural work, approvals and specialist lead times can extend the programme. These ranges are not a promised start or completion date. We agree the programme for your scope.
What changes in a tenement flat?
For traditional fabric, shared services and common-stair arrangements, read our tenement renovation service.
Planning a kitchen, wall change or soundproofing
A flat project can bring together a kitchen renovation, structural alterations and soundproofing. Each needs its own agreed scope and any required specialist design.
What should we plan for noise and family life?
An acoustic ceiling or floor proposal can affect available height and adjoining finishes. Where a specification is needed, an independent acoustic or design specialist provides it before the construction is priced; thickness alone does not establish a sound-insulation result. Our soundproofing page explains that scope. The child-friendly planning guide covers choices worth making before the layout is fixed.
What if we need work urgently?
We do not start construction within four weeks of the first enquiry. The call, property assessment where needed, quotation, your decision and preparation come first. The actual start and programme are agreed for your project. If you need urgent help, contact an emergency tradesperson.
If your renovation includes bedroom storage, see our alcove and press wardrobes for the measured design and installation scope.
Plan the route through the building
The flat is only part of the working space. Deliveries, removed materials and tools also pass through the building. Check door openings, stair turns and any lift arrangements before assuming that a large item can reach the room where it belongs.
For day-to-day arrangements, read about living through a renovation.
Where the building has a factor or other management arrangements, establish the relevant working requirements early. Keep the route usable and separate the plan for protecting communal finishes from the work inside the flat.
Match the method to the building
A tenement, a post-war flat and a modern development can need different approaches to the same visible task. Wall and floor construction, service routes and the relationship with neighbouring homes affect how the work is planned. The age of the building is a starting clue rather than a substitute for inspection.
Record which rooms and facilities remain usable during the work. The order of trades should reflect those practical needs as well as the construction sequence. This makes the living arrangements a stated part of the discussion rather than an assumption.

Brunon oversees project programmes across Edinburgh and is typically available by phone or email. The staff assigned to your job handle the day-to-day site work independently within the agreed scope, with the responsible contact confirmed before work starts.

Book by 15 December 2026. Your works can start later.
