Your whole renovation, one team.
Every trade I do, in one job: kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, floors, stairs and decorating, managed by me in clear phases.
Renovating is exciting. Managing it is stressful: finding trades, getting the order right, chasing no-shows.
A full renovation is really every job I do on its own, joined up: the extension, the kitchen and bathroom, floors, stairs, doors, joinery and decorating.
So I take the managing off your hands too. One team, one person to ring and one written quote, paid phase by phase.
A renovation, trade by trade
Each photo is from one of my recent jobs. A renovation brings them all into one home.
The usual way, or my way
Same job, very different few months.
Managing it yourself
- Finding and booking five or six trades
- Waiting when someone doesn’t turn up
- Every firm adding its own margin
- Nobody responsible for the whole job
- No idea if it’s on time or budget
With CM MainWorks
- One person to deal with throughout
- Clear phases that keep the job moving
- One written quote, paid phase by phase
- One team responsible for the result
- Regular sit-downs to check progress
Every trade I do, in one renovation
I take on each of these as a job by itself. A renovation is all of them, joined up.

A sound roof over the new work.
FittingKitchens
Old kitchen out, new one fitted level and square.

FittingFloors and tiling

FittingStairs, doors and skirting
Stairs, doors, skirting and architrave.
ThroughoutCarpentry
Boxing-in, trims and the woodwork in between.
FinishingJoinery
Media walls, alcove units and built-in storage.
FinishingDecorating

Any specialist trades the job needs are organised by me, so you still only deal with one person.
Built in phases, always in the open
Phases keep a big job clear, on track and in your control.
Planned together
We agree the phases, timescales and targets before anything starts.
Paid phase by phase
An invoice for each phase, never the whole job at once.
Regular sit-downs
We check we’re on target. If anything slips, you hear it from me first.
Before we start
Visit, plan and sit down
I come round, you get a written quote split into phases, and we agree the timescales and targets.

A final walk-round
We go round together, and I put right anything you’re not happy with.

Renovation questions
What does “one team” actually mean?
It means you deal with me, and I take care of everything else. I plan the job, run it on site, and bring in the trades I trust for things like electrics and plumbing. You’re not chasing five different firms or wondering who turns up next.
How do I pay for a renovation?
In phases. Before we start, the job is split into clear phases and you’re invoiced phase by phase, so you never pay for the whole job at once and you can see exactly what each invoice covers.
How will I know it’s on track?
Before we start, we sit down and agree the process, timescales and targets for each phase. Then we sit down again as the job goes on to check they’re being met. If anything’s slipping, you’ll hear it from me first, with a plan to put it right.
Can we live in the house while you work?
Often, yes. We’ll plan it together so you always have somewhere to cook, wash and sleep, and I’ll keep the mess under control.
