Renovation Services
in Dorset & Hampshire
Renovations are a truly custom service, and they can range from a new stud wall to a whole property redesign. Such a unique service requires a personal touch.
When you choose ER Build Co, you have one point of contact, from start to finish, giving your property the attention it deserves. Right from the beginning, you'll be working with us, Fraser and Joe. Share your ideas with us, liaise with our trusted architect (if drawings are needed), and we’ll make your plans a reality.
Home Renovation Services
A well-planned renovation can transform how your home looks, feels and works for you. It gives that "new home feeling," but built around what you actually need, and without the upheaval of a house move.
Renovations can feel daunting if you've never taken one on before, especially when more than one room or trade is involved. Having the right people on the project makes the world of difference.
At ER Build Co, we like to keep things straightforward. We cover kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, full house renovations, loft conversions, and period property renovations, all across Dorset and Hampshire. And because we handle all aspects, such as the electrics, carpentry, roofing, landscaping, plastering, and flooring, you only have to work with our small, friendly team.
Many of our customers feel that this makes the process simpler, less stressful, and much less disruptive.
Why opt for a Renovation?
Renovations are the perfect solution for people who love their location but not their layout. They can modernise a property, help you get more out of the existing space, and make your property work for you, not against you.
For many Dorset & Hampshire homeowners, renovating is the best way to get the home they want, without the stress and cost of moving house. With stamp duty on the rise and the cost of moving still increasing, renovations are a great way to reshape and modernise the space you already have, while also adding value.
Renovation Services We Offer
Every property is unique, which is why we offer a range of different renovation services to suit your individual needs.
Renovation Services
Every property is unique, which is why we offer a range of Renovation Services to suit your individual needs.
Kitchen Renovations
Often the heart of the home, and usually the room that shows its age first. We rework layouts, update fittings and finishes, and build kitchens that look great and work exactly as you need them to. We can offer a 3D visualisation.
Bathroom Renovations
From a straightforward refresh to a full retile and reconfiguration, we handle the plumbing, fittings and finish so your bathroom feels like new.
Full House Renovations
The ideal solution when a property needs updating room by room, or all at once. We manage the whole process, so you deal with one team from start to finish rather than managing and scheduling individual trades.
Loft Conversions
Turning unused roof space into part of your living space, whether that's a bedroom, office or extra living space, without the footprint of a full extension.
Internal Reconfiguration
Removing walls, opening up rooms, or changing the layout entirely to suit how you actually live.
Period & Heritage Renovations
For older and period properties, we coordinate with conservation officers and renovate in a way that respects and complements the existing character.
Garage Conversions
Garages are often underused or full of things that have nowhere else to go. We turn the space into something you'll actually use, whether that's a home office, a gym, or an extra living room.
What Does a Renovation Involve?
The specific process for renovations varies job by job, but usually, we begin by agreeing the quote and organising any necessary permissions, before starting with strip-out, clearing the space back so we can see exactly what we're working with.
From there, any structural work is carried out, including removing or altering walls where needed, before we move on to first fix work: plumbing, electrics and any changes to the layout.
Next comes plastering, flooring and carpentry, followed by kitchen or bathroom fitting where relevant. Then it's on to second fix services, doors and mouldings, and finally, paintwork and finishing touches.
How We Work - Renovations with ER Build Co.
In the initial site visit, we get a feel for your ideas.
We take a look at the existing property, assess the practicality of the work, check whether any permissions are required, discuss timelines and draw out the initial quote from preliminary plans.
Once relevant permissions are granted, and we have any necessary technical drawings, we agree your formal quote and get started on the build.

How Much Does a Renovation Cost?
Costs of renovations in Dorset and Hampshire vary based on the scope of the work.
The most accurate way to gauge your renovation costs before the official site visit is through our Cost Estimator, which is built based on real prices from our previous jobs.
Price is one way that we work very differently from others in our industry. We noticed with many contractors, the end costs vary significantly from the initial prices, usually because of vague estimates, surprise costs and late add-ons. We wanted to be able to offer a price that our customers could trust. To achieve this, we offer a price guarantee. The price outlined in the initial quote is the price you pay.
Payments are never expected in a lump sum. We pace invoices across various stages of the build, pre-planned with you at the start of the project so you know exactly what you have to pay and when you are expected to pay it.

The Questions Most People Ask Us...
Do I need planning permission for my renovation?
Most internal renovation work, such as kitchens, bathrooms and reconfiguring rooms, doesn't require planning permission. However, if your renovation involves structural changes, affects the exterior of the property, or you live in a listed building or conservation area, permission may be needed. We will be able to advise you once we conduct a site visit, and if you need planning permission, we can connect you with our local architect.
How do I know which type of renovation I need?
The right renovation for you will depend on your lifestyle, wants, property and budget. You can get a good idea of the different renovation types through the Renovation Services We Offer section, and we can offer guidance during your consultation if you're unsure.
Do I apply for planning permission before or after booking ER Build Co for a site visit?
Either way works. Some people prefer to use their own architect, in which case they will acquire the drawings and technical plans first. Others want more support along the way, or prefer to have a consultation regarding costs, before submitting any applications. Whichever way you approach things, we can help. Though if you're looking for rough pricing, try out our Cost Estimator.
How long will the renovation take, and what will it cost?
We always agree a clear payment structure and project timeline upfront. Payments are tied to the stages of the build, so you know exactly what you will be required to pay and when each instalment is due.
What spec level should I go for?
We'll talk through the options honestly, based on your budget and what you actually want from the finished space during our initial consultation.
What is your experience with renovations?
Between us, we've got 19 years of hands-on trade experience, with Fraser's established roofing business and Joe's 7 years specifically in building and renovation work. We're a small team by choice, because it means you deal directly with the people doing the work, making you more comfortable throughout the build, and confident in the standard you will receive.
When are you able to start work?
We always work to keep our customers updated on our availability and timelines. Official start dates can be given after the site visit.
