Working with an existing building requires a different approach from starting from the ground up. Once a property is stripped back, previous alterations, ageing materials and structural issues can become apparent. The ability to assess these challenges and respond effectively is an important part of managing a major renovation.
Our hands-on construction experience allows us to manage projects involving significant changes to the structure, layout and internal finish of a property. Around 90% of our work is kept in house, giving us greater control over workmanship, timescales and activity on site.
From complete modernisations to the careful renovation of period properties, we focus on creating homes that retain what makes them distinctive while meeting the requirements of modern living.
Who We Work With
Renovation projects can begin with anything from a dated interior to a property requiring extensive structural work. We work with homeowners and professional teams to understand what should be retained, what needs to change and what the finished property needs to achieve.
Homeowners Planning Major Modernisations
A substantial refurbishment can give an existing property an entirely new lease of life.
We work with homeowners who have purchased properties requiring extensive work, as well as those who want to transform a home they already own. Projects can involve reconfiguring layouts, updating ageing elements of the building and replacing dated interiors to create spaces better suited to the way people live today.
Owners of Period and Character Properties
Period and character homes often contain features that are central to their appeal, alongside elements that require updating or repair.
Renovating these properties calls for an understanding of the existing building and careful decisions about what should be retained, restored or replaced. Our aim is to respect the character of the property while improving its comfort, practicality and performance.
Architects and Designers
We can work alongside architects, interior designers and other professionals on detailed renovation and refurbishment projects.
Where a design includes structural alterations, specialist finishes or detailed interior elements, our role is to translate the plans into high-quality work on site. Close coordination between the construction and design teams helps maintain the original vision as the project progresses.
What We Deliver
Our renovation and refurbishment work can range from extensive internal modernisation to projects involving significant changes to the structure and layout of a property. Our work can include:
The scope of each project is shaped by the existing property and the objectives behind the renovation, allowing us to focus on the areas that will make a meaningful difference to the finished home.
Quality From the Ground Up
Mac & Burg was founded on a commitment to high-quality construction using skilled tradespeople, quality materials and modern building methods.
Renovation work puts those skills to a different test. Existing properties can reveal challenges that were not apparent at the outset, so practical construction knowledge is essential when assessing the best way to move forward.
Where elements of the original property are being retained, we take care to work around them appropriately while the surrounding areas are renovated. Maintaining an organised site also helps protect the building and allows different stages of work to progress effectively.
Our environmentally responsible approach extends to the renovation of existing homes. Improving insulation, energy efficiency and the overall performance of a property can form part of the work, helping older buildings meet the expectations of modern living.
The finished details matter too. From structural work hidden behind the walls to the visible finishes that complete a room, we approach each stage with the same commitment to good workmanship.
Our Approach to Renovations and Refurbishments
We follow a clear process while recognising that existing buildings can reveal additional requirements as work progresses.

Experience Across Residential Renovation
Our background in construction and property development gives us a practical understanding of how existing buildings can be adapted, improved and given new value.
This is particularly important on extensive refurbishments, where decisions made early in the project can affect the structure, layout and finish of the property later on. Understanding how those elements relate to one another helps us manage complex work without losing sight of the finished home.
For period properties, substantial modernisations and high-specification refurbishments, that experience allows us to balance the requirements of the existing building with the changes needed to make it work for the future.
