Refresh Renovations Surrey transforms homes across the region with a wide variety of renovation, refurbishment and extension services enacting the likes of kitchen and bathroom re-modelling, extension building and room conversions. The team is headed by James Teague and his project manager partner, Karen Blackburn.

James’ background perhaps isn’t typical for a renovations expert, as professionally he spent over 30 years working as a sign maker. A career he embarked upon straight from school, he worked his way up through a local sign company and since then has flourished to work on hundreds of projects and with a wide variety of materials. Of course, such roles have seen him work heavily with a myriad of stakeholders – which places him well to deal with varying homeowners and property projects. Indeed sign making projects are not always as straightforward as many may assume, as lots of third parties and subcontractors are involved. This is also the case with lots of property renovations; changing situations and ever-developing events that all need to be managed efficiently! James has worked all over the country as a sign maker and has been involved with plenty of recognisable household names. He works to the mantra that customers should never have to chase for information and so strives to keep all involved parties up-to-date at all times and communicating clearly.

At home, James lives with his partner, Karen, their three children, a dog and a cat. He’s a keen spectator of Formula 1 and has been to a few of the events live. He’s also a keen gardener and a bit of a self-professed ‘business junkie’, liking to keep up-to-date with the latest in the business world and reading up on current affairs.

James was introduced to Refresh Renovations by his partner, and despite having no first-hand renovations experience himself, is looking forward to rising to the challenge. Combined with Karen’s project management expertise, the team is truly customer-focused and delivers unrivalled service. 

Refresh Renovations are unlike other traditional home renovations firm as we work to an end-to-end project management approach. Assigning a dedicated project manager to every job, every detail of the works are overseen and managed by this person; right through from design conception to total completion of the renovation. The project manager manages a bespoke team of tradespeople and relevant professionals, put together to best suit the property and project scope.

Refresh Renovations Surrey work throughout the region to enact stunning home transformations, but if you don’t live in the area, don’t panic! We manage a whole host of localised offices worldwide and have won awards globally for our all-encompassing approach and fantastic service.

Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

The 5-Step Renovation Process

Our Design & Build Process

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

The first thing your renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation.

2

Concept and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up.

3

Working Drawings and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.

4

Build / Construction Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.

5

Your Finished Renovation

The final stage is for your consultant to ensure that all Council and Code of Compliance documentation is completed. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!

What James Teague’s customers say about working with Refresh Renovations

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to consider before starting an apartment renovation in the UK?

Your Renovation Consultant will be able to guide you through the entire process, so don’t worry too much if you’re not sure what to focus on. However, it’s helpful to form a foundation before getting started. Gather an overview of how much you’re comfortable spending, a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and a few goals for your renovation. 

When drawing inspiration from other apartment renovation ideas, make sure you’re not comparing apples and oranges. For example, design principles of a kitchen renovation in a luxury apartment and a modest ensuite renovation may not be transferable. So if you have a studio apartment, try searching for small apartment interior designs. This way, the results are more likely to be realistic for your space.

Are there financing options available for large-scale home renovations?

Home renovation costs add up quickly, especially when you are working on your whole home. To help ease the entire house renovation cost, there are plenty of financing options available including bank loans and finance company loans. Refresh Renovations works closely with financial providers to give homeowners the best solutions for their unique home renovation needs. Learn more about how to finance your large-scale home renovation.

Will I be able to live in my home during the complete home renovation?

At Refresh, our Renovation Consultants work to make sure your renovation involves minimal interference with your daily life. However, with a full home renovation you can expect a lot more going on in your house that might require you to find another place to stay during the renovation.

Your Renovation Consultant will be transparent about a timeline and will work to get you back into your home as soon as possible. After all, the benefits from a complete home renovation make the process worth it!

What services do Renovation Consultants offer?

These experts can help you brainstorm ideas for your renovation, build your budget plan, source the best contractors for the job, and take care of all council permits and paperwork required. They serve as project managers who oversee the entire renovation and keep open lines of communication with you along the way.
