Tell us which rooms need changing and when you hope to move in. The brief, property assessment and agreed scope shape the programme; an enquiry does not reserve a start date.
Staying, with room for change
A kitchen move can affect adjoining rooms and service routes. A new floor can change door clearances and fitted storage. We consider those connections while setting out the agreed construction work.

What customers say
We have a 2 bedroom flat in Edinburgh, that after being let for 10 years, required a lot of work. On top of that - we had a considerable issue with ‘smokers drift’ - tobacco smoke drifting through the old floorboards and other gaps around piping etc. from the flat below that made the flat unsuitable for our young son to stay in. We had a redundant gas fire that needed to be removed - along with the fireplace. A new kitchen needed to be fitted. This was a huge job. Brunon and his team ripped back everything - the floorboards were removed throughout the entire flat, new floorboards down along with a membrane to stop the smoke, all gaps sealed where possible, and new flooring laid throughout. The plaster in the living room was coming away from the walls - so the that was made sound and re-plastered along with the ceiling. Old kitchen was pulled out and a new one fitted. New radiators and heating pipes fitted throughout. And finally the flat was decorated throughout. It’s been done to a really high standard and I’m delighted with the work - Brunon ensured we were satisfied with what had been done and checked in several times after the work finished to make sure there were no outstanding ‘niggles’. Brunon and his team were great to work with - this was a huge job and quite stressful for us, particularly as we weren’t in Edinburgh to oversee the work. Brunon kept infrequent contact - updating us with photos and letting us know what he needed from us to keep on track. One of the major benefits we found in working with Brunon was Anna. I’ve had the experience in the past where I’ve left endless messages with tradies and no one gets back to you, or does days later (usually when you’re in a meeting at work). Having the ability to chat to someone on the phone to find out information when it suits you while knowing you aren’t disturbing the work was great. Anna really helped to reassure us that everything we were concerned about would be taken care of, and in a timely manner. This was a great benefit of using this team. I’d highly recommend this trader and Brunon will be the first person we contact if we need any further work in the future.
We have a 1960’s flat that was looking very tired. Brunon and the team went through the whole flat (except for the kitchen and bathroom which we had done last year) and massively upgraded the feel of the place. It now looks and feels so much better. The specific things they did were; * Replace all of the laminate flooring with LVT vinyl tiles. They made this flow through the flat so that there are no joins in the doorways and it looks fantastic. *Replace all of the skirting boards * Replace all of the internal doors with solid core oak doors including replacing the door surround *Installed a pocket door for the kitchen which has given us back loads of space in the kitchen * Move a radiator and conceal other heating pipework in the walls * Move electrical sockets * Tidy up the walls- remove wall paper; fill in socket blanks from when the flat was rewired years ago, sink some cables into the wall that had been in surface trunking, plasterboard over some parts to provide a smooth finish * Repaint throughout - walls and ceilings and all woodwork * Wallpapered a single wall in each room * Hung a curtain rail and coat hooks etc There were challenges due to Covid which impacted the time taken versus the expected time (workers got pinged on the app etc) and materials are a nightmare for everyone at the moment. However Brunon kept me informed and we worked together to get through it.

Let the daylight into daily life
Small moments, thoughtfully considered
The work, organised
One agreed scope, with the stages organised
We coordinate the quoted construction work, materials and specialist trades. You stay involved in the choices. If opening-up reveals something outside the known scope, the affected work pauses while the finding and its effect are recorded; the project contract sets out how changes are approved.
To understand how the trades fit together, read about sequencing a renovation.
Design, engineering and permissions
Where your proposal needs architectural design, engineering or permissions, you appoint the relevant professionals. Sweet Homes is the contractor, working from the drawings and specifications the project requires.
Electrical and gas work is carried out and certified through the competent trades we appoint.
We complete the checks and handover records set out in the project contract, alongside the agreed work and materials.
Planning the budget
Budget by the work involved
Start with the scope: single-room work, a multi-room refurbishment, or a whole-home renovation with structural, extensive service or heritage work. The cost guide compares these bands.

Including VAT
A broad guide to home renovation work, not a price for a room count or a particular design. The measured property, existing conditions, agreed scope and selected specification determine the written quotation.
Home renovation scope, timing and planning
What can the renovation include?
A new floor can affect the doors and fitted joinery around it. Moving a kitchen can connect plumbing, electrical work and the rooms beside it. We discuss those connections while shaping the agreed work.
A kitchen within the wider home
Moving the kitchen can affect service routes and adjoining rooms. We work through what the building work needs before setting out the included construction and materials.
Floors and fitted details
A new floor can change door clearances. The preparation and fitted joinery need to be considered alongside the finish you choose.
How is the work planned?
We discuss options as a team before starting, including the approaches, access and order of work. You can ask questions and talk through changes as the project progresses. We explain the effect and agree changes before adding work.
How we workCan we live at home during the work?
That depends on the rooms and services affected. Larger rewiring, plumbing or heating work can interrupt essential services. We discuss access, affected rooms and any temporary arrangements before site work.
How soon can a major project start?
Allow at least four weeks from the first enquiry for a major project. The brief, property assessment, quotation, your decision and ordering all need to happen before trades arrive. The actual programme is agreed for the work.
What happens if the scope changes?
Older properties do not reveal every condition at survey. If opening-up reveals a condition outside the known scope, the affected work pauses while the finding and its effect are recorded. The project contract sets the approval process for changes.
What happens after an enquiry?
We reply by email and arrange a follow-up call to talk through the project. A site visit follows where useful, before the written quotation.
Supply-and-fit and certification questionsDo 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.
Where can I read about a particular project?
Explore house extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, tenement renovations, flat renovations and listed buildings. Each explains the work and decisions for that project type.
What if we are still deciding whether to buy?
See renovation consultancy for separate paid pre-purchase advice. Its scope and fee are agreed before booking. It is separate from a construction quotation and its workmanship terms.
Where should we start with damp, noise and contractor choices?
For a damp or noise concern, start with the appropriate independent assessment or acoustic specification. We price the construction described by that information. Read how to choose a renovation contractor and how to prepare your home before the programme is agreed.
Where can we explore the room and specialist services?
The services overview links to kitchens, bathrooms, fitted interiors, conversions and extensions. Read about home offices, media walls and basement conversions for their particular scope and constraints.
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.
Resolve the difficult connection first
Start with the part of the proposal that places the greatest demand on the existing home. It may be a new opening, an awkward drainage route or a room whose intended use depends on access from elsewhere. Resolving that point can change the rest of the layout before finish choices become expensive to revise.
Keep the room plan and service plan together. A kitchen or bathroom position can look straightforward until the waste route, ventilation or adjoining construction is considered. Early questions are more useful than a polished layout built around an unresolved assumption.
Plan the household arrangements alongside the work with our guide to living through renovation.
Make the work sequence readable
Separate removal and investigation from the work that follows. Hidden conditions may need a decision before a wall or floor can be closed again. Allowing for that decision in the sequence gives a clearer picture than treating all the work as one uninterrupted task.
Identify the choices needed before each stage, including products whose size affects the work around them. Track what is settled and what remains open. The purpose is to make the next decision understandable, not to present an early plan as though nothing could change.
Project responsibility
Who manages the work
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.
Fully insured: £2 million public and products liability and £10 million employers' liability.
