Full-Service Property Renovation for Landlords & Homeowners
Full-service property renovation and refurbishment in London. Design, project management and trades under one roof. Kitchens, bathrooms, full flat refurbishments and office fit-outs.
Mainteniq delivers refurbishments and fit-outs for landlords, homeowners and managing agents across Greater London, all 32 boroughs, from cosmetic refreshes to full strip-outs.
Our own engineers handle the heating, ventilation, electrical and compliance work, so the property is handed back with its CP12 and EICR in place, a fixed programme around the re-let date, and one point of contact throughout.
Property renovation in the UK sits under two separate regulatory regimes.
- Planning permission governs external changes and changes of use, but interior refurbishment (new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, decorating) is not classed as development under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and never requires a planning application.
- Building Regulations approval, however, applies to more renovation work than most property owners expect: replacing windows or doors, installing or replacing a heating system, adding electrical circuits, all gas work, new bathrooms involving plumbing, and roof covering replacements all require building regulations approval or use of a registered competent person scheme.
- Internal cosmetic work, painting, tiling, carpentry, and flooring, is exempt. Mainteniq project-manages the full scope, coordinates regulated trades where required, and ensures all compliance documentation is in place at handover.

How Long Does a Flat Refurbishment Take in London?
A cosmetic refresh of a one or two bedroom flat (decoration, flooring, a new bathroom or kitchen) usually takes two to four weeks; a full strip-out with rewiring, new plumbing and a reconfigured layout typically takes six to ten weeks, plus any lead time for freeholder consent.
The timeline is driven by three things: whether the kitchen and bathroom are being moved (which brings in new drainage and building control), whether the electrics need a full rewire to pass an EICR, and whether the property is leasehold, because most London leases require a licence for alterations before structural, plumbing or flooring work starts.
- We plan the programme around a fixed re-let date, sequence the trades so the property is not stood empty waiting for one of them, and because our own engineers handle the heating, ventilation, electrical and compliance work there is no gap between the builder finishing and the certificates arriving.
What Should a Landlord Refurbish Before Re-letting?
In order of return: fix anything that fails compliance (gas, electrical, damp, ventilation), then the kitchen and bathroom, then flooring and decoration, then energy improvements that move the EPC towards band C before the 2030 deadline.
Compliance first because a property cannot legally be let without a valid gas safety certificate and EICR, and because damp and mould are now the fastest route to a disrepair claim.
- Kitchens and bathrooms decide the rent a property achieves and how long it sits empty.
- Energy improvements (heating controls, ventilation, insulation, LED lighting, a serviced or replaced boiler) add up in the EPC and are far cheaper to do while the property is empty and the walls are open.
- Our EPC C by 2030 guide explains what the new rules mean, and a planned maintenance contract keeps the refurbished property that way once it is let.
Renovation ROI for Landlords
A targeted refurbishment typically delivers strong returns through higher rents and reduced void periods.
