Research carried out by Houzz, HISCOX, the Housing Affordability Survey and Harvard University shows that typical renovation projects have many issues, and the industry isn’t well organised to deliver good customer outcomes. You or people you know have likely experienced these many issues!
Refresh was established as a strategic industry initiative in conjunction with large players in the construction industry. The sole intention of Refresh is to address these issues through a better business model which delivers far superior customer value and a significantly improved customer experience.
Refresh Renovations North London is led by Mohammad Sheikh. We’re part of the international Refresh network — a brand built around the idea that a serious home renovation should feel professional, predictable and genuinely enjoyable. Not a stressful, open-ended ordeal you survive, but a milestone in your home you actually look back on fondly.
We work exclusively with homeowners across North London who want one team to design, cost, manage and build their project — concept to completion. That means a single point of contact from your first site visit through to the 10-year guarantee, drawings and pricing produced under one roof, and a programme run by people who are personally accountable for the result.
We’re deliberately selective about the projects we take on. We’d rather deliver twenty exceptional renovations a year than fifty average ones — because the homes we build are where families will live the next chapter of their lives.
5-Step Renovation Process
The first thing your renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation.
With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up.
Working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.
Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.
The final stage is for your consultant to ensure that all Building Control documentation is completed. Congratulations, your renovation is complete!
Most renovation horror stories share the same root cause: no fixed price, no single point of accountability, and a builder making it up as they go. We built Refresh North London to be the opposite of that — in every measurable way.
Our proprietary IT system "Control" is patent pending, and is the only construction management system with a built-in scope of works module that integrates with the pricing and delivery of contracts. This is crucial: to successfully scope, plan, price and manage any project, the most important first step is to have a clear scope of works. We are the only renovation business globally with the ability to so clearly define the scope of works and have it integrated with all other aspects of project management and delivery. This provides our customers with unprecedented transparency and control over their product selections, timelines and budgets.
Clear and transparent communication is the key to projects running smoothly, both in the planning and delivery stages. With Refresh, everything is visible to you at every stage, and you have the decision-making power in your hands.
