Step-by-Step Order for House Renovation
Getting the order right protects your new finishes and ensures each trade works efficiently. Here's the Daffodil Decor approach:
1. Planning & Strip-Out
Remove old fixtures, carpets, plasterboard, kitchen units. Clear the space and identify hidden issues.
2. Structural Work & Weatherproofing
Structural repairs, new walls, building work while stripped back. Get building weathertight.
3. First Fix (Electrics & Plumbing)
Run all new wiring, pipes, heating systems while walls/floors open. Chase cables, install pipework.
4. Plastering & Insulation
Insulate if needed, then plaster or board walls for smooth surfaces.
5. Kitchen & Bathroom Fit-Out
Install kitchen units, bathroom suites, tiling—bulkier, messier jobs before final finishes.
6. Second Fix (Sockets, Fittings & Fixtures)
Fit sockets, light switches, fixtures. Connect taps, toilets, radiators. Test everything.
7. Flooring
Lay hard flooring now. Carpets saved for the end so they stay clean.
8. Painting & Decorating

9. Final Touches & Snagging
Fit carpets, door handles, accessories. Clean thoroughly.

When House Refurbishment Makes Sense for Your Property
Moving Into a New Home in Swansea
First-time buyers picking up terraced houses in Uplands or semis in Killay benefit from property refurbishment before moving in. Move straight into a home decorated exactly how you want—no living around dust sheets.
Common with properties around Swansea University where homes were student rentals. We work with young professionals and families in Sketty, Brynmill, Singleton Park wanting to strip out magnolia walls and tired carpets before unpacking.
Pre-Sale House Renovation
In Mumbles, West Cross, and Sketty (terraced properties £171,000 average, semis £214,000), presentation matters. Strategic updates add thousands to sale price and help properties stand out.
We've helped dozens prepare homes for market—particularly where dated décor put viewers off. Strong return on investment selling faster and for better prices.
Updating a Tired or Dated Interior
Not every property needs structural work—sometimes just freshening up. 10-15 years in Dunvant, Gowerton, or Llansamlet and everything's tired? Cosmetic property refurbishment transforms your home without expense/disruption of major building work.
Complete Property Transformation
Fixer-uppers in desirable locations—properties near Brynmill Park, Mumbles seafront, Ffynone conservation areas—often need complete house renovation but offer great value once refurbished.
Transformations involve stripping to bare walls, rewiring, new plumbing, modern kitchens/bathrooms, complete house redecoration. As an experienced renovation company in Swansea, we coordinate from strip-out to final touches.
Landlord & Investment Property Refurbishment
Swansea University's Bay and Singleton campuses bring 20,000+ students—strong demand for well-maintained rentals around Uplands, Brynmill, Mount Pleasant. We work with landlords refurbishing HMOs, updating rental stock, preparing ex-council properties for private market.
Fast turnarounds crucial—typically 3-4 weeks for full property refresh. We also handle larger transformations across Morriston, Clase, Penlan where older stock offers good rental yields.
Home Renovation FAQs
Do you organize all the trades for a property renovation?
Yes. We coordinate electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tilers, flooring specialists—one point of contact throughout rather than managing multiple contractors yourself.
Do you only take on full house refurbishment or smaller jobs too?
Everything from single room refurbishments to complete property transformations—whether freshening one room or full house renovation across Swansea.
Can you work with our existing builder or trades?
Absolutely. We coordinate with preferred trades as part of the overall project. Just need clear communication from the start about who's handling what.
Can you work around us living in the house?
Yes. We phase work room by room so you can stay throughout.
Do I need to move out during a full property refurbishment?
Not necessarily. Smaller projects or room-by-room work, can you stay. Extensive work (multiple rooms simultaneously, rewiring throughout, structural changes)—moving out temporarily makes it faster and less stressful.
What do I need to do before refurbishment starts?
Clear rooms of belongings/valuables, remove furniture you want safe, arrange parking access. We discuss specifics at consultation.
How messy will property renovation be and how do you handle dust?
Inevitably dusty but we minimise with dust sheets, sealing areas, cleaning daily. For occupied homes, extra careful protecting living spaces.
What if unexpected issues are found like damp or old wiring?
Common in older Swansea properties. We stop, show what we found, explain fixes needed, provide clear quote for additional work before proceeding.
Can you help me choose colours and finishes for my property refurbishment?
Yes. We provide paint samples, show previous work examples, talk through options. No formal mood boards but honest, practical advice based on experience.
Can you modernize a dated home without changing the layout?
Absolutely. Many Swansea homes need cosmetic refurbishment rather than structural changes. Fresh decorating, new flooring, updated fixtures, modern finishes completely transform properties.
Are you fully insured and do you have qualified tradespeople?
Yes. Workers carry full public liability insurance that covers all work. We use qualified professionals—certified electricians, Gas Safe engineers where needed, experienced tradespeople across every discipline. Our painters have 15+ years experience.
