Yes. Many decarbonisation upgrades can be delivered in occupied homes, workplaces and public buildings with careful planning. RS Specialist Contractors can phase the works, communicate clearly with occupants and manage access, protection, dust, noise and temporary disruptions to services.

Common energy-efficiency improvements include insulation upgrades, draught reduction, replacement windows and doors, LED lighting, improved heating controls, pipework insulation and ventilation improvements. Fabric-first measures are often important because they reduce heat loss before major changes are made to heating systems.

Building decarbonisation means reducing the carbon emissions associated with operating a property, mainly by lowering energy demand and moving away from fossil-fuel-based heating or inefficient building systems. It commonly involves improving insulation, airtightness, heating controls, lighting, ventilation and low-carbon technologies.

Yes. Where building-control approval, inspection or notification is required, RS Specialist Contractors can work within the agreed design and construction process to support compliance. Requirements vary according to the nature, scale and location of the work, so they should be considered before work begins.

Yes. RS Specialist Contractors can turn survey findings, condition reports, fire-risk assessments and compliance recommendations into a clear programme of remedial works. We can help clarify what needs to be addressed, prioritise urgent issues and deliver the agreed works on site.

Building compliance means ensuring that a property and any planned works meet relevant legal, safety and technical requirements. For existing buildings, this can involve matters such as fire safety, accessibility, structural condition, ventilation, energy performance, asbestos management and the standards that apply to refurbishment or alteration work.

Yes. RS Specialist Contractors can assess, repair and replace fire doors and associated components where this forms part of a required fire-safety improvement programme. This may include door leaves, frames, seals, ironmongery, closers, glazing and signage, depending on the condition of the existing installation.

Fire stopping helps maintain the fire resistance of walls, floors and other compartment lines after pipes, cables, ducts or other services pass through them. Without suitable protection, gaps around penetrations can allow fire and smoke to spread more quickly between rooms, floors or escape routes.

RS Specialist Contractors provides practical fire-safety improvement works within existing buildings, including fire-door installation and repairs, compartmentation works, fire stopping, sealing of service penetrations and associated remedial works. These measures help reduce the spread of fire and smoke through a building.

Yes. RS Specialist Contractors can manage the refurbishment process from initial survey and scope development through to delivery, quality checks and handover. This gives you one accountable contractor rather than needing to coordinate several individual trades.

Yes. RS Specialist Contractors can plan refurbishment projects in phases so that workplaces, communal areas and other occupied buildings can remain operational where practical. We work with you to agree access arrangements, working hours, segregation, noise controls and safe routes for occupants.

RS Specialist Contractors delivers refurbishment work for commercial, residential, education, healthcare and public-sector properties. This can range from upgrading individual rooms and common areas to complete internal refurbishments, repairs and improvements.
