Downstairs Work
A downstairs renovation coordinates the kitchen, hallway and living spaces while keeping existing partitions. Cooksey Renovation agrees the rooms, service work and finishes at a site visit. Your quotation sets out the ground-floor scope, with upstairs excluded unless agreed.
01
Plan kitchen fittings, storage and routes through the existing rooms so downstairs suits the way your household uses it.
02
Coordinate floors, plastering and joinery across adjoining rooms, with preparation completed before the agreed finishes are fitted.
03
Agreed Scope
Coordinate the existing downstairs rooms as one project. Your quotation confirms the fitting, preparation and finishes included.
Update the kitchen within its existing room, coordinating preparation, fittings and the services required. A utility area or downstairs WC can be considered where space, drainage and ventilation allow, with the agreed work named in the quotation.
Plan hallways and living rooms around access, furniture and everyday use, with existing partitions retained. Joinery, fitted storage and room preparation can form part of the agreed scope, so the adjoining spaces are considered together.
Where included, review the existing floors, levels and preparation needed across the downstairs rooms. Coordinate new flooring with thresholds, fittings and adjacent finishes. Any condition found during strip-out is discussed before additional work proceeds.
Agree any changes to lighting, heating and plumbing alongside the room layout and fittings. The relevant trades follow the required sequence, with plastering, joinery and finishes planned after preparation and service work in the agreed rooms.
At the visit, we agree which rooms are included, which partitions stay and how the household will manage day to day. Upstairs remains outside the work unless you add it to the scope.
Before We Start
Ground floor renovation cost and timing follow the rooms included, floor condition, finish choices and the access you need during the work.
The quote follows the rooms, floor condition, services and chosen finishes. A utility or WC is included only when agreed, with any additional work discussed before it proceeds.
Timing follows the room scope, preparation and order of the trades. Keeping access or cooking facilities usable may require phases, with expected timescales set out after the site visit.
Plan routes, usable rooms and any service interruptions before work starts. Approval requirements are checked for the agreed work, even when the existing partitions remain.

Our Process
Lance starts with a site visit to agree the downstairs rooms, finishes and services involved. The written quotation defines the work and expected timescales, with upstairs excluded unless agreed. Strip-out and preparation follow that scope. The required trades then coordinate kitchen fitting, floors and finishes around the agreed access and household arrangements. Lance remains your main contact and keeps you updated as the work progresses.
