Full Apartment Renovation in Chitila

About this service

In a full renovation, the greatest risk isn't the quality of any single trade but the coordination between them. The decorator can't start before the electrician has finished the routes, flooring can't be laid before the screed is fully dry — which takes roughly a week per centimetre of thickness — and doors are fitted after decorating but before skirting. Every deviation from this order is paid for in redone work and delays. A serious team presents a staged programme from the outset, with the decision points where your finishes must already be chosen, and tells you clearly when to order long lead-time materials such as windows, internal doors, or kitchen units.

What to check before hiring a full apartment renovation

Choose all finishes before work starts, so the team isn't left waiting
Photograph every service route before it gets covered, without exception
Pay in stages against verifiable inspections, and keep a significant final instalment
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

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full renovation take?

A studio needs 4–7 weeks, a two-room flat 6–10 weeks, and a three- or four-room flat 10–16 weeks. These timescales include mandatory drying times that cannot be compressed: screed needs roughly a week of drying per centimetre of thickness.

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 Chitila?

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 Chitila, 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.
