SET Building & Brickwork renovates houses in Brentwood and the surrounding parts of Essex. We price every job after visiting the property rather than over the phone.

Working with you

Your home, finished the way you want it

Renovations go best when the decisions are made early. We work through the layout, the structure and the finishes with you before we start, and bring over 15 years of building knowledge to the choices that are hard to undo later.

  • Layout and structural changes agreed up front
  • Work done in the right order
  • A written quote and one number to call

  • Back to brick strip outs
  • Knocking through walls and opening up the ground floor
  • Structural steels, to your engineer's design
  • New plumbing and electrics where the house needs them

  • Joinery: doors, skirting, architrave and staircases
  • Kitchens, bathrooms and en suites
  • Wall panelling, flooring and decoration

Planning rules in Brentwood

Planning applications in Brentwood go to Brentwood Borough Council. The town centre is one of the borough's 13 conservation areas, and all of the countryside around it is Green Belt, 89% of the borough, where an extension is measured against the size of the original house.

Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings, and book the building control inspections.

What a renovation costs

Every job prices differently. The property, the specification and what we find on site all matter, which is why we visit in person before quoting rather than giving a figure over the phone.

Call us on 07792 625391 or send over your plans and we will arrange a time to come and look.

Questions about house renovations

Can you renovate a property we have just bought?

Yes. A lot of our renovation work is on properties that have recently changed hands. Speak to us before you finalise plans and we will flag anything that affects cost or sequence.

Do we need to move out?

It depends on the scope. A back to brick renovation is easier with the house empty. Smaller jobs can be done in stages while you live there. We will be straight with you about which applies.
