Traditional
Your Local Renovation Contractor
As a main contractor in the UK, we pride ourselves on managing the whole renovation from initial survey through to completion. By taking care of all the trades to make sure the plumber, the electrician, the plasterer, the joiner and the tiler all turn up on time, DSK is a Design and build contractor, so one team, one contract, one named project manager, no chasing trades, and nobody can claim it’s not their problem.
Whether you need a kitchen, a flat or an entire house refitted, we will plan the sequence, look after the build and keep you informed every step of the way.
Built to Last
House Remodel Contractor Without Surprises
Most surprises are hidden behind plaster and under floors, so a good house remodel contractor surveys thoroughly before pricing anything. DSK investigates the structure, damp, wiring and plumbing first, then agrees on a clear written scope, a fixed price and a schedule.
We then follow the proper order of works: strip-out, structural repairs, weatherproofing, first fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, second fix, kitchens and bathrooms, decoration and snagging.
Changing your mind after plastering means cutting open finished walls, so making decisions early saves real money. Plaster also needs time to dry, and kitchens, tiles and joinery can take weeks to arrive. Costs and lead times keep rising, so surveying early lets us lock in your plan, your timeline and your price. You stay informed every week, and payments follow completed stages.

Budget Split
Breakdown of an overall remodel budget
By knowing where your money is spent, you can fairly compare quotes. The below are rough percentages for general renovation in London.
Where Your Money Goes
For a London general renovation, materials and fittings take 40 to 45% of the overall cost. Labour – 35 to 40% (trades and supervision), professional fees including design, engineering, and building control take 8 to 15%, and contingency goes for 10 to 15%. We itemize every line of your quote so you can compare quotes side-by-side.
Factors That Impact Your Budget
London labour, access and parking normally add 15 to 25 per cent to national prices. Old Victorian and Edwardian houses require a bigger contingency – usually 10 to 20 per cent of the cost, as damp, wiring and the structure are obscured until strip-out. Structural openings, rewiring and replumbing are often the bigger variations. Specification is also critical, because quality tiles, joinery and kitchens can take your budget dramatically. We will confirm every line in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find simple answers to all your common queries about organizing, budgeting, managing, and finishing London house remodels.
The general contractor handles everything from trades to project management, compliance and skilled coordination to get a project done. DSK builds so you will work as one team.
Interior work in a non-listed home is exempt from building standards. The lease requires permission for outdoor work, conservation areas, and listed residences and flats. Altering leases requires a freeholder’s authorization. We verify your lease and address before payment.
Based on scope, property age, and requirements, a survey provides a good estimate. We provide our prices so you may compare quotes.
Planning, investigation, permissions, strip-out, structural works, weatherproofing, first fix, plastering, second fix, kitchen and bathroom installation, décor, snagging and handover are typical phases. Restoration takes weeks for one room, months for a whole property. They must strip it to the brick, rewire, plumb it, and plaster it, then wait weeks for inspections and authorization. Plaster replacement is expensive, so we decide early.
Most domestic work requires a 5–10% deposit and 25% or higher walk-away compensation. Most should be compensated after employment. Stage payments will be agreed upon in writing before work begins.
