Every service runs through the same in-house team, cost discipline and quality assurance — whether it's a weekend refurb or a 40-bed student residence.
Albatross manages every aspect of home renovation projects, starting with a tailored design consultation and covering planning, sourcing materials, coordinating skilled trades and overseeing construction — kitchen upgrades, bathroom remodels, energy-efficient enhancements and full-home makeovers.
Typical single-room refurbishment scope includes:
| Stage | What's included |
|---|---|
| Strip-out | Removal & disposal of existing carpet, underlay and gripper strips |
| Walls & ceiling | Premium acrylic paint, two coats, prep & crack filling included |
| Flooring | Wood-look click-lock vinyl plank with underlay, skirting & threshold |
| Feature wall | Fluted WPC panel installation with trims and sealed junctions |
| Finish | Post strip-out clean & final builder's clean on completion |
Payment is staged — 50% deposit, 40% on flooring completion, 10% on practical completion — with work typically completed in around five working days.
