Our Harpenden Re-modelling & Refurbishment Project

We're delighted to showcase our completed Harpenden re-modelling and refurbishment project, which demonstrated our expertise in transforming a family home through intelligent space reconfiguration and high-quality finishes.

This Harpenden project involved converting an underused garage into a practical utility room, which had the added benefit of creating a new access route into the house. By undertaking structural work to internal walls, we created a more functional and spacious kitchen, dining, and utility area that better suited the family's lifestyle.

Key elements of this Harpenden refurbishment included:

• Garage conversion to create a practical utility room
• New access route created into the property
• Structural alterations to internal walls
• Reconfigured kitchen, dining, and utility layout
• Full ground floor refurbishment
• Installation of a specialist kitchen with premium finishes

Why Harpenden Homeowners Choose Aldwick Building

Refurbishing Your Harpenden Property

Harpenden features a diverse range of properties, from Victorian villas and Edwardian semis to 1930s homes and modern developments. Each type of property has its own characteristics and potential. Our experience across all property types means we can advise on the best approaches for your specific home.

For period properties, we understand the importance of preserving original features such as fireplaces, cornices, and sash windows while introducing modern amenities. For newer homes, we can create contemporary spaces that maximize light and open-plan living.

Many Harpenden refurbishments benefit from our integrated approach – combining structural work, electrical and plumbing updates, and finishing trades in a coordinated program that minimizes disruption and ensures consistent quality throughout.
