I don’t work on homes but I’ve worked on for commercial properties, shops, offices, shopping centres for 20 years. Have to admit I watched this video half thinking about what I’d disagree with…….. I don’t think there’s anything to disagree with. Very sensible project structure and very practical advice.

amazing video, i gained a lot of knowledge that i was not aware of that is included in a refurb, the length of detail you went into with just a 4 minute video was really good especially for someone like me who is busy. thank you for this brilliant insight Ste!

This should be a video series..... I really like this type of practical content! Keep them coming!

Always fun to watch you guys!

Ste, another great video that you've put out there. Thank you loads! Keep going!

Such a good video this Ste, no waffling on saying a lot about nothing like a lot of the other videos on this topic, every word is thoughtful, matters and is to the point. Fantastic format.

Looking at buying a doer-uppers and this is really helpful straight off the bat to know what order the work would be done in. Makes it a lot less daunting! 😅

1:50 - Depends on whether or not you're having integrated appliances. I had to smash apart our kitchen units to remove a broken dishwasher the previous owners left behind as they had the flooring done after the units were put in because it was impossible to remove otherwise.

Can we please see a before and after of this property!

Can I ask when does gas central heating (including boiler and radiators) and internal insulation get done on the roof?

Loved it 🫡 We seem to be on the same page in the order of the steps. It all makes sense 👌Do you apply the skirting boards in the bedrooms after the carpet or before? Thank you. Excellent video 🙌

Before the carpet is fine

Great value as always! Just a couple of questions: 1) if you had to do reroof/repair/repaint when is that done? 2) if you change the layout of stairs or repair them, which trade does that and when?

Do you have a checklist for snagging. How long do you take with the snagging before payment. How can you know that all the snagging has been completed. What do you do if you have missed some snagging

Out of interest, would things such as sorting out damp, damp proofing etc come under structural? And what do you think the time frames are of this. Looking into a bungalow but need to make it at least liveable within 2 weeks, it has a lot of damp

@h3steven

Damp treatment can take a lot longer than 2 weeks to fix depending on the severity, some treatments have to be left for 4-8 weeks before you can plaster or paint over again. It’s not necessarily structural 🙏🏼

What about plumbing and electrics?

Any tips on how to find trusted well-priced contractors if doing a project quite far from where you live?

Valuable information as always Ste ✊ I’m going to note down this whole process… I’m not a developer but I’m going to be picking up the keys to my first home in 10 days… My question is though, the bungalow I’ve purchased needs a new roof and also damp treatment, so where would you recommend fitting this into the mentioned process? - many thanks!

This guy has a confusing use of the word first and second. You said first electrics, then went on to say first carpentry.
