Tired of Chasing Four Different Tradesmen?

Most home renovations involve the same frustrating cycle. You find a plasterer, then a plumber, then a tiler, then a decorator — four separate schedules, four separate standards, four separate invoices. When something doesn't line up, nobody wants to take responsibility.

It shouldn't be that complicated. And with Renov8 London, it isn't.

Bertie handles your entire renovation from start to finish — one person, one consistent standard, one point of contact throughout. No handoffs. No surprises. Just the work, done properly.

What Renov8 London Does

Whether you need a single room sorted or a complete property refurbishment, Bertie covers every trade you need. Based in Stratford, East London, he works across all of London on both residential and commercial projects.

Full Property Renovation & Refurbishment

Planning a full renovation? Bertie manages the entire project — plastering, plumbing, painting, tiling, carpentry — all under one roof. No coordinating, no gaps in the timeline. One contractor who takes full responsibility for the result.

Plastering & Wall Restoration

Bertie is known among London tradespeople as one of the finest plasterers working in the city today. Whether you need a full re-plaster, a ceiling repair, or perfectly skimmed walls before decorating, the finish will speak for itself.

Painting & Decorating

From a single room freshened up to a complete interior transformation, Bertie takes as much care with the finish as with every other trade. Interior and exterior painting for homes and commercial properties across London.

Plumbing & Electrical

NVQ-qualified in plumbing, Bertie handles bathroom and kitchen plumbing, general pipework, and electrical work. When the plumber and the plasterer are the same person, fitting out a bathroom stops being a three-week scheduling exercise.

Tiling & Flooring

Walls, floors, wet rooms — Bertie lays tile with the same attention to detail that defines his plastering. He also installs laminate, vinyl, and carpet, so you can have a fully finished floor in the same visit.

Kitchen & Bathroom Fitting

Full kitchen and bathroom installations, from stripping out the old to fitting the last fixture. Bertie carries out the plumbing, tiling, carpentry, and finishing himself — no need to source separate trades for each stage.

Common Questions

Straightforward answers about how Bertie works.

Every project is different, but to give you a sense of scale: a full room re-plaster typically falls between £600 and £1,200. A mid-range bathroom renovation usually runs from £9,000 to £14,000. A kitchen installation sits between £10,000 and £15,000. For an accurate price, I'll visit your property at no cost and provide a detailed written quote with options at different specification levels — so you can choose the approach that fits your budget.

For the vast majority of trades — plastering, plumbing, tiling, painting, carpentry, flooring, kitchen and bathroom fitting, roofing — I do the work myself. I'm formally qualified and experienced across all of them. For electrical work, I work exclusively with a trusted, qualified electrician I've partnered with for many years. You deal with me, I coordinate everything, and the standard of the result is my responsibility throughout. There are no strangers turning up unannounced, and there's no finger-pointing between trades if something needs sorting.

Yes. I carry full public liability insurance. If you'd like to see proof before we start, just ask.

It depends on the scope. A single-room plaster skim typically takes one to two days. A bathroom renovation might be five to seven days. A kitchen fit-out can be two to three weeks. A full property refurbishment could take four to eight weeks depending on the size and condition of the property. I'll give you a realistic timeframe as part of the quote — not an optimistic figure designed to get the job, but an honest one based on what's actually involved.

Always. You'll receive a detailed quote as a professional PDF document, setting out exactly what's included, the materials, the timeline, and the cost. Most quotes include options at different specification levels so you can choose the approach that fits your budget. No hidden costs, no surprises. If anything changes during the project, I'll discuss it with you first.
