How we work

Four stages from first call to handover

  1. 01

    Call and survey

    Tell us about the property and the works. We arrange a site visit, take measurements and photographs and talk through what you actually want the finished space to do.

  2. 02

    Itemised quotation

    You receive a written quotation that breaks the project down by trade and by stage, with a programme and payment milestones. Nothing is hidden in a single lump sum figure.

  3. 03

    Managed delivery

    We sequence the trades, control access and dust, and update you weekly on progress. One point of contact throughout, so you are never chasing separate contractors.

  4. 04

    Snagging and handover

    We walk the finished job with you, agree a snagging list and work through it before the final payment, then hand over certificates and guarantees for the installed work.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What areas does AJS Refurbishments cover?

We are based in Kettering and work within roughly 55 miles, which covers Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Market Harborough, Northampton, Leicester, Loughborough, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Peterborough, Rugby, Coventry, Daventry, Nottingham, Derby, Oxford, Stevenage, Luton, the Birmingham outskirts and selected projects in parts of London.

How much does a property refurbishment cost?

It depends entirely on the size of the property and the specification, which is why we survey the job before quoting rather than guessing over the phone. Our quotations break down the cost by trade and by stage so you can see exactly what you are paying for and where you could save.

Do you do commercial as well as residential work?

Commercial refurbishment is the main part of our business. We carry out office fit outs, washroom refurbishment, breakout areas, retail units and full commercial redecoration, and we also take on domestic renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decorating.

Are you insured and accredited?

Yes. AJS Refurbishments is CHAS accredited and carries 5 million pounds of insurance cover. We are happy to send certificates, risk assessments and method statements to your facilities or health and safety team before we start.

Do I have to deal with several different trades?

No. Every trade on your project sits under our quotation and our programme, so you have one point of contact, one schedule and one set of invoices rather than chasing several contractors yourself.

How quickly can you start?

Smaller jobs such as decorating or flooring can often start within two to three weeks. Larger renovations and commercial fit outs are booked further ahead. Send us the details and we will tell you honestly what our next available slot is.

Do you provide a written quotation?

Always. You get a clear written quotation setting out the trades involved, the works included, the programme and the payment stages, so there is no ambiguity about what has been priced.

What happens if something is not right at the end?

We walk the completed job with you and agree a snagging list, then work through it until you are satisfied before we ask for the final payment. We would rather put something right than leave a job we are not proud of.

Ready to price up your project?

Send us the details of the property and the works you have in mind. We will arrange a survey and come back with a clear, itemised quotation covering every trade.
