Renovation Contractors in Cornwall
Renovation projects demand both technical skill and a sensitive touch. At Edge Construction Cornwall, we transform homes and buildings across Cornwall with attention to heritage, structural integrity and modern functionality. Whether you’re restoring a period property, revamping interiors or converting a property to a new use, our team manages the entire process with clarity, care and craftsmanship.
We combine traditional building techniques with contemporary standards for energy efficiency, moisture control and finish quality. Our collaborative approach means you stay informed from preliminary design and planning through to final finishes, with a tailored strategy that suits your budget and lifestyle.
Full Refurbishments and Restoration
Restoring a property is more than cosmetic change — it’s about protecting character, improving performance and creating lasting beauty. Edge Construction Cornwall delivers full refurbishment services including brickwork repairs, replastering, structural repairs, rewiring, plumbing upgrades, insulation, windows and finishes.
When working on heritage or older buildings, we respect original features such as mouldings, fireplaces and cornices. Where changes are needed, we match materials and techniques to preserve the building’s feel. We also carry out structural strengthening where required, ensuring the property remains safe and watertight while improving habitability and efficiency.
Our refurbishment approach balances old and new. We incorporate modern services discreetly and use breathable, sympathetic materials where needed to reduce condensation and moisture risk in historic homes. Every stage is documented and coordinated with you so there are no surprises.
Conversions and Adaptive Reuse
Converting structure types requires technical care. We undertake projects such as loft conversions, barn conversions, garage conversions and redundant outbuildings transformed into living space or self-contained units. Each conversion involves new floor levels, structural supports, ventilation and services integration.
We collaborate with architects and engineers to adapt original forms and materials. Where insulation, damp proofing, structural reinforcement and accessibility are involved, we propose solutions that enhance value, usability and regulatory compliance. Conversions should feel seamless, not an add-on, and we achieve that through considered junction detailing, sympathetic finishes and pragmatic design.
Interior Renovation and Upgrade Services
Interior renovation is where design meets detail. Our work includes kitchen upgrades, bathroom refits, living room remodelling, flooring replacement, joinery installation and decorative finishes. Each space is optimised for usability, aesthetics and performance.
We coordinate all trades — plasterers, electricians, plumbers, tilers — to reduce disruption and maintain consistent quality. Every finish is inspected and refined, with tolerances and joints carefully executed for clean results. We also integrate new systems like underfloor heating, smart home wiring and energy-efficient lighting to future-proof your renovation.
Structural Repairs and Damage Remediation
Old buildings often need repair before further work begins. We address issues such as subsidence, cracked walls, floor sag, damp ingress and movement. Our team diagnoses structural faults, prepares repair strategies and executes them with precision.
Repairs may include new footings, steel reinforcement, wall ties, resin injections, repointing and damp proofing. We choose methods suited to the building’s materials, local conditions and long-term stability. Once stabilized, we seamlessly integrate repair work into renovation finishes so the result is both robust and visually consistent.
Planning, Permissions and Compliance
Renovations frequently need planning consent, listed building consent or change of use approval. At Edge Construction Cornwall, we guide you through approvals, liaising with local authorities and conservation officers to ensure your project meets Cornwall’s regulatory and heritage requirements.
Building regulations always apply. We coordinate structural, fire safety, ventilation, drainage and insulation compliance so every alteration meets current standards. We also manage party wall matters and neighbour notifications where work is close to shared walls or boundaries. Dealing with approvals early minimises delays and keeps momentum in your renovation.
Project Programme and Client Collaboration
Transparency and scheduling are essential on renovations. We create detailed programmes dividing work into phases, communicate progress regularly and adapt planning when challenges arise. Weather, deliveries and trades are sequenced to maintain momentum, avoid downtime and reduce client inconvenience.
We work closely with you to make informed decisions during the build. Choices that affect budget, quality or timeline are flagged and explained, so you understand trade-offs. Neighbour relations, site safety and cleanliness are maintained throughout, especially in occupied or semi-occupied homes.
