We recently completed a full renovation of a large property in St. Helier, acting as the main contractor and overseeing every aspect of the project from start to finish.

The brief was to transform both the interior and exterior of the building within an ambitious two-month deadline. To achieve this fast turnaround, we combined the expertise of our in-house team with trusted subcontractors, ensuring every stage of the project was completed efficiently and to the highest standard.

We collaborated closely with the client throughout the project. While they had clear objectives, they were also open to our recommendations, allowing us to suggest practical improvements that enhanced both the appearance and long-term performance of the property.
The before and after photos demonstrate just how much potential an older property can have when the right team is involved. From structural improvements to modern finishes, the building has been completely revitalised.

Scope of Works
-Stripped and installed two new roofs on this property and the adjoining building.
-Removed water-damaged ceilings and installed new plasterboard.
-Installed thermal insulation boards to ceilings and walls to improve energy efficiency and meet current standards.
-Plastering all newly boarded areas.
-Completed full interior and exterior painting and decorating.
-Carried out EICR testing and upgraded the electrical installation to meet current rental standards.
-Installed new energy-efficient electric radiators, heated towel rails, sockets and switches throughout.
-Replaced pendant lighting with modern LED downlights.
-Installed extractor fans to improve ventilation and reduce damp issues.
-Refurbished the kitchen with new cupboard doors, worktops where required, and new appliances, including an oven, washer-dryer and extractor hood.
-Serviced all existing windows and doors.
-Installed new Amtico flooring and carpets throughout.

The entire project was managed by DCH from planning through to completion, delivering the renovation on time and within budget.
Most importantly, the client was delighted with the finished result and the high standard of workmanship delivered throughout. Projects like this showcase our commitment to quality, transparency and delivering exceptional results for our clients.

One of our latest completed projects, and a great example of how collaboration makes all the difference.

We worked closely with both the client and main contractor TerraFirma to achieve the exact design and finish they were after. This project came with its challenges, as the property was being transformed from a bungalow into a two-storey family home, all while maintaining a constant power supply throughout.

We provided all documentation to JEC to change over services and isolate power to carry out the work. Power was off for one day to install the new board and back on in time for the clients returning from work.

We began by relocating and upgrading the distribution board to accommodate the new staircase. A dual Hager board was installed to supply both general and E20+ power, allowing us to integrate energy efficient Rointe eco radiators, helping the client reduce long term electricity costs.

Downstairs was more straightforward, with Rointe eco radiators installed throughout, along with smoke and heat alarms in line with building control requirements.

Upstairs required close coordination with the contractor to keep everything running smoothly. We installed sensor lighting along the staircase, continued with smoke alarms and eco radiators, and adapted the lighting design to suit the pitched roof using angled Collingwood downlights. Each room was fitted with a mix of USB-C and standard sockets for modern convenience.
The bathrooms were fully equipped to the client’s specification, including underfloor heating, Rointe towel rails, extractor fans, electric mirrors, and shaver sockets.

We finished the project with a full EIC and EICR followed by a walk through and sign off by building control.

As with many projects, there were changes and additions along the way, but we adapted our plans to keep everything on track.
The client was very happy with the results, see our photos below.
