Bungalow Work

One Level, Planned as a Whole for Better Living

Renovating a bungalow means planning the rooms, floors and services together on one level. Cooksey Renovation assesses the existing layout and visible condition at a site visit, then sets out the agreed work and timescales in writing. Lance remains your main contact.

01

A Layout for Daily Life

Plan how the kitchen, bathroom and living spaces connect, with proposed changes checked against the existing layout and structure.

4862869

02

Preparation Before Finishes

Review floor condition, levels and visible damp early, so the preparation needed is considered before new finishes are fitted.

03

One Coordinated Programme

Lance coordinates the required trades around your agreed rooms, with a written scope and expected timescales to guide the work.

Agreed Scope

What Your Bungalow Can Include

A bungalow refurbishment can stay within the existing footprint. Your quotation defines the rooms, preparation and finishes included.

Layout Within the Existing Home

Rework the way the kitchen, bathroom and living spaces connect within the bungalow’s existing footprint. We agree any internal layout changes around the structure, natural light and your daily routines, with the scope set out in writing.

Kitchens, Bathrooms and Services

Coordinate kitchen and bathroom replacements with the plumbing, electrics and room preparation they need. The work is planned as one sequence, with any changes to services agreed before fitting starts and the relevant trades brought in as required.

Floor Condition and Preparation

Review floor levels, visible damp and accessible floor construction before choosing a new finish. Lifting old coverings can reveal further problems. Where extra work is needed, its extent is discussed before the floor is prepared for the next stage.

Boarding, Plastering and Finishes

Bring the agreed rooms through boarding, plastering, joinery and flooring as required. The quotation defines the finish to be achieved and any work left outside the scope, so preparation and fitting are coordinated before the final surfaces go on.

Start With a Site Visit

The visit reviews the layout, visible condition and rooms you want to change. We discuss floor levels, any damp concerns and whether you plan to stay during the work.

Before We Start

Cost, Timing and Planning

Bungalow renovation cost and timing depend on room scope, floor condition, the chosen finishes and whether you remain in the property.

What Shapes the Price

Room scope, floor condition and finish choices shape the quotation. Hidden issues may become clear during strip-out, so any additional work needs to be discussed before it proceeds.

What Shapes the Timeline

Timing follows the room scope, floor preparation and order of the trades. Staying in the bungalow can change how rooms are released for work. Expected timescales follow the site visit.

Plan Before Work Starts

Agree layout changes and any approval requirements before work begins. Floor or insulation work may need further checks, with services and preparation sequenced ahead of finishes.

Project Progress

A Bungalow Project in Progress

The documented bungalow project is still in progress, with hidden timber floor damage identified during strip-out. The gallery shows examples from our wider renovation work.

Our Process

Prepare the Bungalow Before Finishing

Lance starts with a site visit to review the bungalow’s layout, room condition and your priorities. The written quotation sets out the agreed work and expected timescales. Strip-out follows that scope, with any floor issues assessed as they become accessible. The required service work and preparation come before room fitting, plastering and floor finishes. Lance coordinates the trades and keeps you informed as the work progresses.

Helpful Answers

Before You Renovate Your Bungalow

These answers cover changes within the existing bungalow, approval requirements, hidden floor problems and staying more comfortably in the property during the work.

Yes. A bungalow refurbishment can stay within the existing footprint, updating its layout, rooms and finishes. An extension or loft conversion would be a separate scope to discuss.

Changes to layout, services or insulation may need building regulations approval. The requirements depend on the planned work and should be checked before starting. Read how construction work on a home is managed before a start date is set.

Old coverings can conceal problems in the floor beneath. Some conditions become clear only when the floor is opened. Any further investigation or repair work needs to be assessed and discussed before new finishes are fitted.

It depends on usable rooms, access and services. We discuss the work sequence at the site visit so you can plan whether to stay or live elsewhere.

Huge thank you to Lance and the team for their great work on our full bathroom renovation! Our old house threw up so many extra problems to work around, but the guys kept us well informed and worked hard to overcome everything They truly brought my vision of a modern meets vintage bathroom to life I'm especially obsessed with the tiling work, the detail and the effort for all those extra little touches make the room look so fab I am absolutely over the moon with how it's turned out! Thank you thank you thank you!

From initial consultation to finished job the Cooksey were brilliant. Always looking on time, worked a full day, cleaned up after themselves and made sure we were completely happy with the work. Very friendly and professional. Covered every aspect of the installation of a new bathroom from liasing with suppliers to the electrics , plastering and tiling. Highly recommended

We cannot recommend Lance and the team enough. From beginning to end him and the team were professional, knowledgeable and communicative. Lance did multiple visits to us before starting work to ensure the best end result, our bathroom was a difficult refurbishment to say the least, but the final result is a testament to Lance and the teams skill and determination. When the work was being completed they were clean and tidy, often worked incredibly long days and kept me informed on any changes or challenges. He worked with us to keep to our budget updated us on any additional material charges. My neighbour even commented on how friendly and polite they all were. I have already recommended Lance to multiple people but will also have them back for any other renovation we need completing in the future. I wouldn't go with anyone else now.

Recently had our Bathroom renovated by Cooksey Renovation; they did a fantastic job throughout and transformed our bathroom! The quality of their work is to a very high standard. They arrived on the agreed date to commence the renovation, were on time every morning, cleaned up after them every evening, and were pleasant and communicative throughout. I can’t recommend this company highly enough and would certainly use them again or recommend them to friends and family.

Cooksey renovations and the team did an amazing job with our new kitchen and flooring. The job needed blocking up doors, windows and a fair bit of plastering. They were all really tidy and cleaned up after each day before they left. I'm so happy with the work they have done. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Lance and his team enough! They have renovated both my bathroom and en-suite as well as repairing and replastering my living room ceiling following existing water damage. When I moved into my house, I knew there was gonna be a lot of work to do following previous leaks in the en suite and previous bad workmanship. All the team were professional, trustworthy and skilled in how they transformed my house. They kept everything clean and tidy (I even caught them hoovering my doorstep at one stage!) and made the house useable in between their working days. I had a very specific vision and they were able to make my dreams come to life and I’m so pleased with the end result. They ripped out my old suites, replaced rotten floor boards, rebuilt damaged walls and install all new paperwork. Nothing was too much trouble and they were also the most competitive quote I received. I have a kitchen and artexed ceilings to be renovated in the new year and there is no one else I would consider using. Thanks guys! I really love what you’ve done!

A return visit by Cooksey renovations to tile the floor of 3 existing bathrooms that didn’t need a complete re fitting. The work was to the highest and we are delighted with the end result. We have no reservations in recommending Cooksey renovations for this type of work.
