Emely Jones

“I recently had my kitchen floor replaced by DKM Builders, who installed a beautiful new stone floor with underfloor heating. From start to finish, the project was managed superbly by Albie. He kept me well informed throughout the process, provided clear and detailed quotes, advice and recommendations, and regularly checked in to ensure everything was progressing smoothly. The team carrying out the work were absolutely fantastic. They worked incredibly hard, were extremely polite and respectful, and maintained a very tidy work environment. Their attention to detail was excellent and the finished floor is testament to their meticulous work. I’ve had nothing but admiring comments from friends and other trades who’ve been in since it was done. I would highly recommend DKM Builders for anyone looking for quality and professionalism at a reasonable price.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does a full house refurbishment include?

    A full refurbishment can involve everything from internal strip-out works and structural alterations through to electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, insulation improvements, plastering, decorating, and final finishes. Every project is different, so the exact scope will depend on the condition of the property and your goals.

    Do you install structural steel during a property refurbishment?
    Yes. We regularly install RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists) and other structural supports as part of refurbishment projects throughout Oxford and Oxfordshire. Structural steel is often required when removing load-bearing walls, creating open-plan layouts, or reconfiguring internal spaces. All structural works are carried out in accordance with the structural engineer's specifications and the Building Regulations requirements.
    Are most works carried out by your own team?
    Yes. Almost all of the structural and internal building work is completed by our experienced in-house team, allowing us to maintain high standards of workmanship, quality control, and project coordination. Where specialist trades are required, such as electrical, plumbing, or specialist installations, we work with trusted subcontractors who are carefully managed and supervised throughout the project.
    Do you manage Building Control?
    Yes. As principal contractor, we coordinate Building Control inspections and ensure all relevant works comply with current Building Regulations. We work closely with Building Control officers, structural engineers, and other professionals throughout the project to ensure the refurbishment progresses smoothly and all required approvals and certifications are obtained.
    Can you work with my architect or designer?
    Absolutely. We work alongside architects, structural engineers, interior designers, and other construction professionals throughout refurbishment projects. Whether you already have detailed drawings and specifications or are still in the planning stages, we can collaborate with your chosen professionals to help deliver the project efficiently and to the highest standard.
    How long does a full property refurbishment take?
    How long your refurbishment project takes will depend on the size of the property, the complexity of the works, and whether structural alterations are involved. Smaller refurbishments may take several weeks, while larger, more comprehensive projects can take several months. Following an initial consultation, we can provide a realistic programme of works and keep you informed throughout the project.
    How much does a property refurbishment cost in Oxford?
    Every property refurbishment is different, so costs will vary depending on the size of the property, the extent of the work, and any structural or building upgrades involved. Once we've discussed your project and assessed your requirements, we'll provide a clear, detailed quotation so you know exactly what's included before work begins.
