Renovation project management in West Molesey
Project management in West Molesey means one person looks after the whole build. We appoint trusted contractors, agree the price and programme, visit site regularly and deal with builders and suppliers on your behalf. We handle procurement of materials and fittings, keep an eye on the budget, and see the job through to snagging, handover and styling. Many families stay in the house while the work goes on, so we plan the build to keep disruption manageable. We can manage our own designs or drawings you already have. Before any work starts we agree a clear scope, programme and price, with a contingency for the unexpected. During the build you get regular updates from site, and we bring decisions to you in good time so the trades are never left waiting.
Local homes
Homes in West Molesey
A typical extension on a semi involves foundations near the boundary, steelwork, a new kitchen and often a new heating layout, so trades need to arrive in the right order. Many homes are lived in throughout, which means temporary kitchens, dust control and clear timings. Party wall notices are common where an extension sits on or near the shared boundary. Ordering the kitchen and windows early is important, because they often take longer to arrive than the build takes to reach them.
Local knowledge
Planning and local notes
West Molesey is in Elmbridge and, unlike East Molesey, its residential streets sit outside the borough's conservation areas, so many extensions and lofts may fall under permitted development. That depends on the house and whether earlier extensions have used up the allowance. Parts of Molesey are close to the Thames and the River Mole, and some homes sit in a flood zone, which can shape an extension's design. We check both before drawing.

FAQs
Questions we're asked
How long does a kitchen extension take to build?
It depends on size and complexity, but foundations, structure and the kitchen fit-out each take time. We set a realistic programme with the contractor before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Can you help us stay within budget?
Yes. We agree a clear scope and price with the contractor before work starts, keep a contingency, and talk you through any change before it costs money.
Can you work with our own builder?
Yes, and we have done so before. In most cases we prefer to work with trades we have used before, because we can vouch for the quality of their work — but if you already have a builder you trust, we're happy to work with them.
How often do you visit site during a project?
Depending on the project, we visit site at least three times a week, using our expertise to check both the accuracy of the work against the construction drawings and the quality of the workmanship, keeping you informed with regular updates throughout.
