K L & Sons Building Services is an experienced house renovation and refurbishment company serving homeowners across Wiltshire and the surrounding areas. With more than 25 years of experience in the building industry, we undertake residential renovation projects ranging from individual rooms and internal improvements to substantial property refurbishments.
Renovating a house can be an opportunity to improve how your home looks, make better use of its available space and bring older properties up to modern standards. Whether you are updating a tired interior, modernising an older property or carrying out a more extensive refurbishment, careful planning and experienced workmanship are essential.
As an established general builder and building contractor, K L & Sons can coordinate the different trades required to complete a renovation project. Depending on the work involved, this can include carpentry and joinery, bricklaying, plastering, electrical work, plumbing and heating, roofing, tiling, decorating and flooring.
We can also incorporate other building work into a renovation, including extensions, kitchen installations and other improvements designed around the way you want to use your home.
A complete house renovation can involve much more than redecorating. Depending on the condition and requirements of the property, renovation work may include altering internal layouts, updating kitchens and bathrooms, renewing services, improving insulation and ventilation, replacing finishes and carrying out structural alterations.
K L & Sons can help bring together the different elements of a residential refurbishment project, providing a coordinated building service rather than requiring homeowners to organise numerous individual contractors themselves.
Our renovation work can include internal renovation and home remodelling, helping to transform rooms that no longer meet your needs. This could involve opening up spaces to create a more practical layout, renovating individual rooms or carrying out improvements throughout a property.
For example, a renovation project might combine a new kitchen with changes to adjoining living areas, updated plumbing and heating, electrical alterations, plastering, flooring and decorating. Our kitchen fitting and new kitchen services can therefore form part of a wider home renovation.
Similarly, bathroom improvements can be incorporated into a broader refurbishment, with plumbing, tiling, plastering and other building work coordinated as part of the overall project.
Older homes can offer character and individuality, but renovating a period property can require a different approach from modernising a more recently built house. Existing construction methods, materials, layouts and building details all need to be considered when planning refurbishment work.
Whether you are renovating a Victorian house, updating an older cottage or carrying out work to another period property, the aim should be to improve the building without losing the features that give it its traditional character.
Renovation work can include updating tired interiors, improving the layout, replacing outdated services and making practical improvements to the property while retaining appropriate architectural details.
K L & Sons can undertake the building work involved in residential refurbishment projects and coordinate the different trades required. Depending on the scope of the project, this may involve carpenters and joiners, bricklayers, plasterers, electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, roofers, tilers and painters and decorators.
We can also undertake renovation work as part of a wider property improvement programme, helping homeowners modernise their homes while addressing several aspects of the building at the same time.
The kitchen and bathroom are often central to a house renovation project. Replacing an outdated kitchen can improve both the appearance and functionality of a home, while renovating a bathroom can make better use of available space and bring fittings and finishes up to date.
Our kitchen fitting service can be incorporated into a wider renovation, while our new kitchens service is available for homeowners looking to create a completely new kitchen.
Renovation projects may also involve changing the relationship between adjoining rooms. An open-plan living renovation, for example, can create a more connected kitchen, dining and living space. Where walls need to be removed or altered, the structural implications need to be considered before work begins.
Other internal renovation work can include new flooring, plastering, skimming, carpentry, joinery, tiling, decorating and alterations to plumbing, heating and electrical systems.
Our plumbing and heating service can be incorporated where a renovation requires changes to pipework, radiators, hot-water systems or central heating.
One of the main advantages of renovating an existing property is the opportunity to change how the space works for you. Internal layouts that suited previous occupants may no longer be appropriate for modern family life, and structural alterations can sometimes create more useful and flexible spaces.
Structural renovation work may include moving internal walls, creating larger openings or removing a wall to connect two rooms. Where a wall is load-bearing, the work needs to be designed and carried out appropriately, potentially involving structural calculations and steel beam or RSJ installation.
Building Regulations requirements may apply to structural alterations and other renovation work. Depending on the nature and location of the property and the proposed changes, planning permission, permitted development rights, Building Control involvement or other approvals may also need to be considered.
The exact requirements will depend on the individual project. Where specialist professional input is required, this may involve an architect, architectural technologist, structural engineer, building surveyor or other appropriately qualified professional.
K L & Sons can undertake the building work associated with renovation projects and coordinate the relevant trades as required, helping to ensure that the different elements of the project work together.
Renovation can also provide an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency, comfort and practicality of an existing property. Older houses probably have outdated insulation, heating systems, windows, ventilation or other building elements that may benefit from improvement.
Depending on the property and the renovation being undertaken, work may include loft insulation, improvements to wall insulation, replacement windows and doors, central heating improvements or other measures designed to improve the building’s performance.
Building fabric is an important consideration when renovating. Elements such as damp proof courses (DPCs), damp proof membranes (DPMs), insulation, ventilation and existing wall construction may all need to be considered when significant refurbishment work is planned.
Similarly, updating plumbing and electrical services can be an important part of modernising an older home. Where appropriate, renovation work may involve rewiring, consumer unit replacement, pipework renewal and central heating installation, alongside the visible improvements to kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces.
The precise specification will depend on the condition of the property and the objectives of the renovation. We can discuss your requirements and establish what building work is involved before the project begins.
Sometimes renovating an existing house is best combined with providing additional space. A home extension can increase the usable floor area while also allowing the existing property to be remodelled and modernised.
For homeowners considering an extension as part of a larger renovation, our extensions service can be incorporated into the overall project.
An extension may create additional kitchen, dining, living or bedroom space, while renovation work can then be used to improve the existing parts of the property so that the new and old areas work together.
Other types of residential construction, such as loft conversions and garage conversions, can also create opportunities to improve how an existing property is used. Whether such work is suitable will depend on the property, its structure and the proposed design, as well as any relevant planning and Building Regulations requirements.
A successful renovation often requires several different trades to work together. Coordinating these trades is particularly important when work involves structural alterations, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, heating, electrics and internal finishes.
K L & Sons provides a broader range of general building services, enabling renovation projects to be approached as a complete building programme rather than a collection of unrelated jobs.

We started the work in November which was a wet and windy project for my team! The project began with an excavation of the foundations followed by the build of the small extension. We then began ripping out the existing utility and cloakroom and preparation of the area for the large steel beams installation.
The next stage was the roof. The team worked hard to keep the job watertight, being the rainiest time of year! We installed a fibreglass GRP flat roof system that comes with a 25 year product warrantee to waterproof the roof.
Following this stage we then installed a solid hardwood timber facia detail to cover the steels and roof and a 6 meter aluminium roof lantern which set off the internal finishes. The doors and windows to the extension are anthracite grey aluminium, this makes a lovely finish to the extension and enhances the look in my opinion.
The internal walls were insulated and plaster skimmed, then decorated by the customer. The floors were tiled with underfloor heating connected to the boiler system, kitchen and utility installed and all new electrics to complement the area.
The new shower room and cloak room were then installed to complete the internal work along with supplying and fitting of the new oak doors to the new rooms.
