Refurbishment

Structural alterations, reconfiguration and mixed-use conversions for landlords and investors repositioning existing buildings across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and Dorset.

KRP provides comprehensive refurbishment and conversion projects, transforming existing buildings to maximise space and extend asset life for clients across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire and the South East. Our works include the renovation of multi-storey properties into mixed-use developments, combining commercial space with well-designed residential accommodation.

We manage complex structural alterations, internal reconfiguration, and new access solutions, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and in line with current building standards.

Who this is for

Landlords and investors looking to reposition an existing asset, and developers converting underused commercial buildings into mixed-use schemes – combining ground-floor commercial space with residential accommodation above, a project type we deliver regularly across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey and Berkshire.

What’s included

A full scope, from structure to services

Structural alterations, internal reconfiguration, new access solutions (stairs, lifts, entrances), building services upgrades, and external improvements where needed. On mixed-use conversions specifically, this extends to fire separation between commercial and residential elements and coordinating separate service risers and entrances for each use class.

Structural Alterations

Internal and structural changes to reshape an existing building for its new use.

Internal Reconfiguration

Reworking layouts to suit a new tenant, use class, or operational need.

New Access Solutions

Stairs, lifts and entrances added or altered to serve the revised layout.

Building Services Upgrades

Mechanical and electrical systems brought up to current standards.

Fire Separation & Acoustic Treatment

Essential on mixed-use conversions, between commercial and residential elements.

External Improvements

Refreshing the building’s external appearance where the scope calls for it.
