Renovations & refurbishments
Alterations, upgrades and structural repairs to existing buildings, planned around the people still using them.
Overview
Upgrading buildings that are still in use
Refurbishment usually happens around people who are still using the building. Teljoy Construction plans phasing, dust control, access routes and out-of-hours working before work starts, not improvised once it has.
Work covers building alterations and upgrades, ceiling and roofing refurbishment, new floor, wall and decorative finishes, door, window and partition replacement, and structural repairs and modernisation.

FAQ
Renovations: common questions
Can you renovate while we continue to use the building?
Yes. Refurbishment is planned around occupants: phasing, dust control, access routes and out-of-hours working are agreed before work starts.
Do you handle structural repairs as well as finishes?
Teljoy carries out structural repairs and modernisation alongside alterations, ceiling and roofing refurbishment, finishes and door, window and partition replacement.
How are changes to the scope handled during a renovation?
Potential variations are identified, recorded and communicated before execution wherever reasonably possible, and logged in a variation register, reducing disputes and unplanned costs.
