Bramy Group is a renovation contractor for flats, private houses, villas and offices, with over 15 years of experience carrying out general renovations from demolition to handover. We manage and supervise flat renovation, house renovation and villa renovation with one closely managed team, rather than spreading responsibility across separate trades.
The difference between a renovation contractor and a collection of tradesmen is mainly management. An average renovation involves a demolition crew, a plumber, an electrician, a plasterer, a floor layer, a plasterboard fitter, a painter and a joiner. Whoever coordinates them decides whether the project finishes on time or gets stuck. With us that coordination is part of the service, not something that lands on you.
What a general renovation covers
A general renovation touches several systems at once. In practice most of our projects include some or all of this list:
- Demolition and clearance — removing old flooring and cladding, taking down internal walls, orderly waste disposal.
- Plumbing — replacing water and waste pipework, new points for the kitchen and bathrooms, pressure testing.
- Electrics and data — a new board, points, recessed lighting, provision for air conditioning and data.
- Plasterboard — partitions, dropped ceilings, niches and built-in units.
- Plaster and sealing — internal plaster, sealing of wet rooms, balconies and roofs.
- Flooring and cladding — internal flooring, wall cladding, skirting and stairs.
- Skim and paint — preparing walls to a full level and painting in the chosen colours.
- Joinery and aluminium — kitchen, wardrobes, internal doors, windows and shutters.
Not every renovation needs the whole list. A light refresh of a flat for letting can come down to paint, flooring and replacing electrical points. A full renovation of a private house reaches the structure and changes the plan itself.
Light versus full renovation
This decision sets the budget, the programme and how much your life is disrupted. A light renovation keeps the existing systems and concentrates on what is visible: paint, flooring, replacing sanitary ware, joinery. It is faster, cheaper, and you can usually stay in the home during it.
A full renovation touches the systems. Pipework is replaced, electrical points are moved, walls are moved or taken down, sometimes the layout changes. It requires vacating the home, takes longer and costs significantly more — but it is the only way to solve root problems such as recurring leaks, low water pressure or electrical infrastructure that is no longer adequate.

How we work
We manage and supervise with one team and one point of contact, against a bill of quantities and milestone-based payments. See renovation cost and renovation stages. Get in touch.
