Renovations & Refurbishments in Truro
Homes in Truro
A Georgian townhouse near the cathedral and a later house on one of Truro's hills raise different questions. With an older townhouse, start by finding out whether it is a listed building, because listed building consent applies to alterations that affect its character, and some internal work falls under that. With a later family home, the usual question is about opening up rooms: taking out a load-bearing wall has to comply with the Building Regulations, and an engineer will normally need to size a steel beam to take the load. The review beside this page comes from a customer whose renovation included structural changes for open plan living, and they singled out the itemised quote, clear communication and a tidy site.

“Miles and Marc carried out a large renovation on my property which included significant structural changes for open plan living and large bifold doors. Through the quote process a complete breakdown of the work was supplied which made it easy for price comparisons. The work was carried out to a high standard and completed in a timely manner. Communication through out the duration of the project was excellent. The site team were always friendly and tidy during their work. Would definitely recommend and will use them again.”
What matters for renovations & refurbishments in Truro
Every project starts with the house as it stands and the rooms you want to change. Tell us what you want the finished space to do and whether the plans cover the whole property or just a kitchen or bathroom. Drawings or photos help if you have them. Groundwork, structural work and finishing are all handled in-house, and we manage the project ourselves.
- Check whether your townhouse is listed before planning any internal changes, as consent may be needed.
- If a wall is coming out, allow for an engineer to size the steel beam and for the work to comply with the Building Regulations.
- Mention any kitchen, bathroom or joinery work so it is scoped alongside the wider renovation.
Questions about renovations & refurbishments in Truro
Our Georgian townhouse is listed. Does work inside the house need consent?
It can. Listed building consent covers alterations that affect a building's character, and that includes some internal work. It is worth checking the listing before the scope is settled so the plans allow for it.
Do you take on period and character homes?
Yes. Our renovation and refurbishment work includes character and period homes, and we handle the groundwork, structural work and finishing on them with our own team.
