What sets Lime apart from the competition is our bespoke space planning service. At the beginning of any home improvement project in Surbiton we invest time helping you reflect on your reasons for wanting to make changes to your house.

We believe that before embarking on any home improvement project, it's important to ensure that the design suits your actual needs and lifestyle. What's more, it's vital to do this during the planning process, as it can be costly to make changes further down the line.

Space planning helps you optimise the layout of your house before construction begins, ensuring the space works for your specific needs and lifestyle. Our design process starts with a thorough assessment of how you use your space to get a complete understanding of your lifestyle.

Before building an extension for example, it's worth looking at changes that can be made to the layout and function of existing room layouts which not suit current family needs. In some cases you can gain more benefit from redesigning the existing rooms and internal walls, rather than simply adding more space.
