We coordinate all trades in-house or through our vetted partner network — from structural work and plumbing to electrics, plastering, carpentry, flooring, and decorating — giving you a single point of accountability and a project that runs on schedule.

Managing multiple contractors on a refurbishment is stressful. We take that burden away — one quote, one team, one point of contact throughout the project. If something isn't right, you call us and we fix it.
We set a realistic programme before we start and work to it. We're upfront about costs and won't hit you with unexpected extras mid-project. You know what you're getting and what it costs.
We understand what buy-to-let landlords need — durable finishes, quick completion, and good value. We've refurbished dozens of rental properties across London and know how to maximise rental value within your budget.
Tired interiors, old kitchens, and outdated bathrooms are some of the most common refurbishment triggers. We work to your brief and budget, modernising the property whilst maintaining its character.
A void period is the ideal time to upgrade your BTL property, increase achievable rent, and attract better tenants. We work fast to minimise your void period and maximise your return.
New tenants, brand refreshes, or change of use can all require a commercial refit. We handle offices, retail units, and hospitality spaces, often working out of hours to avoid business disruption.
We carry out property refurbishments across all London boroughs and the M25 including Hackney, Camden, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, Croydon, Bromley, Barnet, Haringey, Ealing, Hammersmith, Wandsworth, Kingston, Merton, and all surrounding areas. We're equally experienced with period Victorian properties and modern builds across central and outer London.
Get in touch today for a free no-obligation consultation and quote. We'll visit the property, understand your vision, and give you a clear plan and price.
Yes. Fort Maintenance offers full project management for property refurbishments. We coordinate all trades — plumbers, electricians, plasterers, decorators, and joiners — under a single point of contact, so you don't have to manage multiple contractors yourself.
Timescales vary significantly depending on the size of the property and the scope of work. A BTL flat refurbishment typically takes 2–4 weeks. A full house renovation can take 6–12 weeks or more. We'll give you a detailed programme when we quote so you know exactly what to expect.
For major refurbishments, vacant possession is usually required. However, for lighter refurbishments — decorating, flooring, or kitchen and bathroom upgrades — we can sometimes work room by room around occupied tenants. We'll advise you on the best approach for your specific project.
Most internal refurbishments don't require planning permission, though Building Regulations consent may be needed for certain structural or electrical work. We'll advise you on any permissions required and can help you navigate the process.
