refurbishment house chester

Refurbishment

Tired rooms, dated layouts, or a whole house that needs bringing back to life — we strip back, rework and refinish to a standard that adds real value. Ideal for newly purchased properties and homes that haven't been touched in decades.

extension house Chester

Home extension

The extra room your family is missing: open-plan kitchen-diners, garden rooms and two-storey additions, designed around how you actually live. We handle the structure, the weatherproofing and the finish, and keep the rest of your home liveable while we build.

conversion house Chester

Loft conversion

The space above your ceiling could be a bedroom, office or en-suite — often without planning permission. We assess what your roof allows, then deliver the full conversion: stairs, insulation, windows and a finish that feels like it was always part of the house.

Getting started

The first step is a straightforward conversation about your plans, your property and what you want to achieve. Whether you already have drawings in place or are still shaping ideas, Old Lane Homes Ltd can offer practical guidance on design, budget and build timescales to help you move forward with clarity.

To make the first discussion as useful as possible, it helps to have any drawings, reference images or early ideas ready, along with an outline budget if available.

As an interior designer, I expect the contractors we use to be the best, detailed orientated and professional, this is exactly what I experienced with Andy and the team at Old Lane Homes! We have worked on several high end residential projects together the most recent being a complete internal renovation of a barn. Old Lane Homes managed the project from demolition to furniture installation. The level of problem solving was impressive as the project revealed several unforeseen issues including an unsightly flue that was required in a bedroom that was turned into a beautiful built in seating area. I would not hesitate to recommend Old Lane Homes for your next residential project

We recently had an extension completed on our bungalow, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated excellent communication, keeping us informed at every stage and always being available to answer questions or address concerns. What really stood out was their patience and understanding throughout the project. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they took the time to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Their costings were clear, detailed, and accurate from the outset, which gave us real confidence and meant there were no unexpected surprises along the way. On top of that, the quality of workmanship is outstanding—every detail has been finished to a very high standard, and the final result has completely transformed our home. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering building work. A professional, reliable, and highly skilled team.
