The practical order of renovation trades

A typical sequence moves from survey and strip-out through structural work, first-fix services, plastering, second-fix, fitted joinery, finishes and final snagging. The exact order must suit the property and scope.

Where to spend and where to save

Protect the elements that are difficult to replace later: layout, waterproofing, plumbing positions, lighting and fitted joinery. Save through simpler decorative finishes and carefully chosen alternatives.
