Design and Build in London

If you want a smoother project with fewer gaps between design decisions and site delivery, design and build is often the most practical route. Decorators Builders provides design and build in London, managing your project from early planning through to construction and finishing—so the work stays coordinated, buildable and organised.

Instead of juggling multiple parties and hoping everything lines up, you get one structured process with clear communication and a consistent standard from start to finish.

What “design and build” means in practice

Design and build is a joined-up approach where planning, coordination and construction are aligned from the beginning. It’s especially useful for:

  • Homeowners planning an extension and internal reconfiguration
  • Clients renovating a property and improving layout
  • Landlords upgrading a property for better condition and usability

A coordinated process helps reduce delays, avoid design choices that are difficult to build, and keep the project moving with fewer surprises.

Design and build for house extensions

Extensions work best when the design is developed with the build sequence in mind. We help clients plan layouts that feel practical and deliverable.

Extension design and build can include:

  • Early-stage advice on layout options and buildability
  • Rear and side return extensions (where suitable)
  • Structural alterations and steelwork where required
  • Roofing, insulation and weatherproofing
  • Internal fit-out and making good so the extension feels integrated

If you already have drawings, we can step in at the construction stage. If you’re early stage, we can guide the practical steps needed to move forward.

Design and build for renovations and refurbishments

Renovations often involve multiple trades and overlapping decisions—especially around kitchens, bathrooms, layouts and finishing. A design and build approach keeps decisions and delivery aligned.

Renovation design and build can include:

  • Full refurbishments and whole-house upgrades
  • Kitchen and bathroom renovations
  • Layout reconfiguration and space planning
  • Plastering, flooring, carpentry and decorating
  • Services upgrades (where required)
  • Final finishing and snagging

The goal is a home that looks cohesive, not like separate projects completed at different times.

Planning, coordination and a controlled build programme

One of the biggest benefits of design and build is programme control. We plan:

  • Project stages and sequencing
  • Practical logistics such as access, deliveries and waste removal
  • Protection of existing finishes where required
  • Clear handover and snagging at the end

This approach is especially important in London where access can be tight and neighbours are close.

How our design and build process works

1) Project overview
You tell us what you want to achieve, your postcode, and your preferred timeframe. Photos and rough measurements help.

2) Practical review
We discuss layout goals, access constraints and buildability so you know what is realistic before committing.

3) Scope and programme
We define what’s included and set a clear build sequence and timeline.

4) Delivery and finishing
We manage the build through to completion and finish the job properly, including snagging.
