Home renovation in Edinburgh

Renovations are what Dec-Fix does first. One team takes a room, a flat or a whole house from tired to finished, so you are not chasing five different trades.

What’s included

  • Planning the order of work so each trade follows the last
  • Stripping old finishes, wallpaper and flooring
  • Minor plastering and wall repairs before decorating
  • Bathroom and kitchen refits
  • Wall and floor tiling
  • LVT, laminate and timber flooring
  • Skirting, doors, shelving and other joinery
  • Painting and decorating to finish

One team from bare walls to finished

Most renovations go wrong in the gaps between trades: the floor fitter waits for the plasterer, the decorator has to come back after the tiler. Because Dec-Fix covers decorating, tiling, flooring and joinery, the work runs in the right order and one person is responsible for the result.

Where a job needs a qualified electrician, plumber or gas engineer, for example moving a boiler or adding new circuits, we tell you at the quote stage and plan that work in.

Renovations for landlords and before a sale

We also refresh flats and houses between tenants and before they go on the market: repairing walls, repainting, replacing worn flooring, fixing doors and small jobs that put buyers or tenants off.

If you are not in Edinburgh yourself, we can work from photos and a key handover and keep you updated with pictures as the work progresses.

Tenements, colonies and newer homes

Edinburgh housing ranges from Victorian tenements with high ceilings and old lath-and-plaster walls to modern flats and family houses in the suburbs. Each needs a different approach to preparation and materials, and we plan the work around the building you have.

Do you renovate rental properties?

Yes. Refreshing flats between tenants and preparing homes for sale is a regular part of our work, including when the owner lives elsewhere.
