Project brief

We were looking to complete the first big renovation project in our new flat. Having so far only really tackled cosmetic updates, the kitchen reno involved more structural changes, as we removed an old chimney breast and put in bifolding doors to open up the space and let in more light. We chose a Wren kitchen, but wanted a builder to manage the install and the rear extension. We were quite nervous about tackling what felt like a big project, in which we wouldn’t be able to live in the property.

“During previous renovation works, we had a difficult experience with the chosen tradespeople where the costs spiralled and the work wasn’t the standard we were hoping for. This meant we were quite nervous about approaching what was a bigger, more complicated project. We were told about The Page, who got in touch immediately to chat through the brief and address any concerns we had. They suggested three builders at different price points and really supported us through the selection process, also going through the quote with us to ensure it was appropriate and pointed out where costs could change. They provided invaluable advice.”
