Where a lot of people start
You already have a home. Let's make it work better.
The children have moved on
A room can finally become yours again, a study, a snug, a proper spare room. Let's give it a new job.
One room, more than one job
Family life needs rooms that flex. Smart storage and durable finishes make a space earn its keep.
A floor that survives real life
Kids, pets, muddy boots. The right floor looks good and keeps looking good for years.
Ideas, but unsure what's realistic
Bring me your thoughts and your budget. I'll tell you what's sensible before anything is bought.

Clear numbers
A straightforward quote with no jargon. You'll know what's included before anything starts.

4
Done properly
Careful preparation, tidy work, and trades coordinated where a job needs them.
Honest budgets
I won't promise a £10,000 result for a £5,000 budget
What I will do is tell you the truth. Where it's worth spending, where you can save without regretting it later, and how to avoid the costly mistakes people make when they buy the wrong thing in a hurry.
Good planning doesn't add cost, it protects the money you're already spending. The result is a room that does its job and lasts, without paying for things you didn't need.
- Choosing a floor that suits the room and the people in it, not just the showroom lighting.
- Getting the preparation right so the finish lasts, instead of paying twice.
- Spending where it shows and lasts, and saving where it genuinely won't matter.
- Only bringing in other trades when a job actually needs them.
Good design isn't only about how a room looks. It's about how it works every day.
About Richie
Someone you can have an honest conversation with
I've spent 25 years working with floors and interiors in ordinary homes. I'm not a luxury designer and I won't talk you into things you don't need. I listen, I work out what will actually work in your home, and I tell you the truth about what's possible for your budget.
