Full Apartment Renovation in Sânzieni

About this service

A full apartment renovation means renewing all services and finishes, from the consumer unit to the last piece of skirting, and it's the only realistic opportunity to resolve every hidden problem in an older home at once. The work begins with stripping out finishes and sanitaryware, removing debris and, where applicable, altering the layout by removing or building non-structural walls. Next comes a complete rewire with dedicated circuits, replacement of water and waste pipework, radiator installation, plastering and skimming of walls and ceilings, self-levelling screed, waterproofing in wet areas, tiling the bathroom and kitchen, laying flooring, fitting internal doors and joinery, decorating, and finally installing electrical accessories, sanitaryware, and furniture. Coordinating the trades in the correct order is what keeps the job on schedule. On SmallJobs you'll find complete teams experienced in turnkey renovations, with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a full apartment renovation

Never allow a wall to be removed without documented confirmation that it isn't structural
Budget alternative accommodation for 2–3 weeks beyond the team's promised date
Ask for a staged programme with dates, not just a quote — coordinating the trades is the main risk
Allow a 15–20% budget reserve for what's found after strip-out
Order windows, doors, and kitchen units immediately — lead times run 3–8 weeks
Choose all finishes before work starts, so the team isn't left waiting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct order of works?

Strip-out and removal, new partitions, electrical and plumbing services, pressure testing, plastering and skimming, waterproofing in wet areas, screed, tiling, internal joinery, decorating, flooring, electrical accessories and sanitaryware, skirting, and finally furniture. Reversing stages leads to costly rework.

Can I live in the flat during the renovation?

No, not for a full renovation. The home is left for long periods without water, power, or flooring, and dust from demolition and sanding makes the space practically uninhabitable. Budget for alternative accommodation for the whole duration, with a 2–3 week margin over the promised completion date.

Do I need a permit to renovate in Sânzieni?

No permit is needed for interior finishes and services. It becomes mandatory if you alter the structure — removing a load-bearing wall, changing openings in structural walls, or extending the floor area. In Sânzieni, as everywhere, the owners' association usually requires advance notice and observance of quiet hours.

Can I remove the wall between a room and the kitchen?

Only if the wall isn't structural. In frame-structure blocks, internal walls are usually non-structural and can be removed. In blocks with concrete structural walls, the work requires a technical assessment and a permit. Never let a team decide this without documented verification.

Who buys the materials, me or the team?

Common practice is for visible finishes — tiles, flooring, doors, sanitaryware, light fittings — to be chosen and bought by the client, with building consumables brought by the team. Ask for a complete materials list with quantities at the start so you can order in good time.

How is payment handled in a full renovation?

In stages, tied to the completion of verifiable phases: after services and testing, after screed and tiling, after decorating, with the final instalment at handover. Avoid large upfront payments; a reasonable advance for consumables is 10–20%. The final instalment should remain significant, as a guarantee mechanism.
