As the first ever Tsarine blog we thought we would give you the benefit of our advice on 
how to ensure a trouble free refurbishment.
Use a company with individual tradespeople.
- Where possible get sign offs from a relevant organisation or body for each component of the project ie. heating, gas - CORGI, electrics - NICEIC etc.
- Get referrals from others who have similar works completed.
- Look at the size of the firm in relation to project for best attention.
- Talk through the project with the project manager, interior designer who can then arrange for you to meet relevant builders, achitects, structural engineers etc.
Try to visualise the end of the project and then work backwards eg. light and heating, flooring and colour.
- Do you and your family have any needs that should be taken into account when planning the project eg. arthritis and taps spring to mind!
- Will the same space be used in the same way in 10 years time
- The more thought and planning - the more likely the budget will be met.
- Never ever be afraid to ask questions.
- Always employ someone who will take the time to listen to your ideas and be able to give you the pros and cons for using various materals, fixtures and fittings.
- Make sure comprehensive quotes are obtained.
- Ask to meet the team who will be working on the project - you need to be happy to invite them into your home as a guest.
- Lastly, be clear about specific timings and requirements.
