Based in Deptford, London SE8 · covering London & Surrey
Strip-out, plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling, flooring and decorating, with building regulations and structural work handled too. Emanuele coordinates every trade, so you get a finished home without managing a dozen contractors yourself.
Overview
A house renovation brings several rooms, or a whole property, up to date in one coordinated project. It can include strip-out, structural alterations, new plumbing and electrics, plastering, new bathrooms and kitchens, flooring, tiling and decorating, along with the building regulations work that ties it together.
Homeowners who've bought a property that needs modernising, families reconfiguring a house to suit how they live now, landlords refurbishing between tenants, and owners of period homes in London and Surrey who want work done carefully.
When several rooms need work at once, when you're moving walls or changing layouts, when old wiring or plumbing needs replacing throughout, or before moving into a newly bought property while it's empty.
Renovations go wrong in the gaps between trades: the electrician chasing walls after the plasterer has finished, the floor fitted before the heating is tested, nobody responsible for the overall sequence. Having one experienced person manage the order of works saves time, rework and money.
The cost of getting it wrong
Without proper coordination, renovations overrun, budgets stretch, and finished work gets damaged by the next trade in.
Trades working out of sequence means freshly plastered walls get chased again, and new floors get damaged by later work.
Gaps while you wait for the next trade to turn up add weeks, and every week living around a renovation is disruptive and costly.
Structural and regulated work that isn't handled properly can cause trouble when you sell or remortgage.
Old wiring, failing pipework or damp found during strip-out gets covered up instead of fixed if nobody owns the whole picture.
Our process
Emanuele walks the property with you, records what you want from each room and spots issues that affect the plan.
We agree scope, sequence and finishes and give you a clear written quote, with staged payments tied to progress.
Rooms are stripped back, and structural work and building regulations items are dealt with first.
Plumbing and electrics are installed with certificates where relevant, then plastering, tiling and flooring follow in order.
Decoration, fit-out and a snag check together before handover.
What you get
Emanuele manages every trade on your project. One phone number, one person accountable.
Each trade arrives when the work before it is finished, so nothing is done twice.
Problems found during strip-out are discussed with you and dealt with, not hidden.
Tiling, marble, stone and wooden floors are Emanuele's own specialism, so the finishes match the quality of the planning.
30% to book, 35% at halfway and 35% on completion.
£5 million public liability cover and a 5.0 Google rating.
In detail
Typical whole-house projects combine strip-out, structural alterations such as opening up walls, rewiring and replumbing, plastering, new bathrooms and kitchens, flooring throughout, tiling and decoration.
We also handle the building regulations and structural side of the work, so the paperwork is in place when the project finishes.
Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like Clapham, Dulwich, Fulham and Blackheath often hide uneven floors, old lath-and-plaster walls and dated services. They reward careful preparation before any finish goes on.
Newer homes and flats are usually more straightforward structurally, but often have building rules on working hours, noise and access that shape the schedule.
If you're living in the property, we can plan the work in phases so you keep a working kitchen or bathroom for as long as possible. If the property is empty, work runs faster and can be sequenced more efficiently.
We'll talk through both options at the quote stage so you can weigh cost, time and disruption.
Most renovations we manage are homes, but the same approach of planning, sequencing and specialist finishes applies to commercial premises.
See our commercial refurbishment page for how we plan work around a business that needs to keep running.
No two projects are priced the same, which is why we don't publish fixed prices. The main factors are the number of rooms involved, whether walls are being moved or removed, how much plumbing and electrical work is needed, the level of finish you choose for bathrooms, kitchens and floors, and whether the property is occupied during the works. The condition of what's already there matters too: a sound, flat surface is quicker to work on than one that needs repairing or rebuilding first.
The free quote visit is where these factors become clear. Emanuele will explain what's driving the price, flag anything that could change it once work starts, and give you a written quote so you can compare like for like. Payments are then staged at 30% to book, 35% at halfway and 35% on completion, so your money follows the progress you can see.
The most common reason renovations overrun is that trades are booked in the wrong order or turn up before the previous stage is ready. We plan the sequence before anything starts: strip-out and structural work first, then first-fix plumbing and electrics, then plastering, then tiling and flooring, then second fix and decoration. Each stage is checked before the next trade begins.
When something unexpected appears, such as rotten joists, old wiring or hidden damp, you'll hear about it straight away with a clear explanation of the options. Decisions are made together, not quietly added to the bill at the end.

Why Tilermate
Emanuele Campoccia trained as a tiler in Italy from a young age and has more than 20 years of experience. Since 2014 he has worked across London and Surrey on homes and commercial properties, and he still leads every project personally. When you call, you speak to the person responsible for the result, not a call centre or a salesperson.
Customers consistently mention the same things in their Google reviews: attention to detail, professionalism, clear communication and a clean, precise finish. Those reviews average 5.0, and several describe Emanuele checking not only his own work but that everything else on the project was done correctly.
The commercial side is kept simple. Quotes are free and written. Payments are staged at 30% to book, 35% at the halfway point and 35% on completion, so you're never paying far ahead of the work. Tilermate Interiors Ltd carries public liability insurance of up to £5 million, and bathroom installations come with a 2-year workmanship warranty from handover.
We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, on planned projects only. That focus means each job gets proper preparation and attention rather than being squeezed in between emergency call-outs.
