Selected Work
The work speaks.
Disciplines
Four disciplines. One standard of finish.
The full spectrum of London construction work — design, build, restoration, structural — held to a single standard of finish. Every discipline managed under one roof. Every project led by a Project Director.
The Firm
A London refurbishment and restoration firm.
Cubitt Wren delivers refurbishment, heritage restoration, and structural works across London. We are not a design-only studio. We run the works — through direct trades, named project leadership, and disciplined procurement, sequencing, and reporting.
The firm carries the names of two London builders we intend to honour, not impersonate. The story sits on the Firm page, where it belongs.

The materials
Specified with care. Finished by hand.
A short palette, chosen for the building, the specification, and the life of the work. Lime where the wall is breathing. Quartersawn oak where it has to last. Limestone set in lime, never in cement. The decisions are old; the discipline is the point.
II
Lime Plaster
Three coats, hand-laid. The breath of a listed wall.
III
Honed Limestone
Quarried in Wiltshire. Set in lime, never in cement.
The Process
Five stages. One continuous line of accountability.
A Cubitt Wren project moves through five defined stages — each with clear deliverables, named ownership, and no ambiguity about what happens next.
01
Initial consultation
We listen before we quote.
Brief, budget, drawings, property condition, access, and constraints reviewed before any advice is given.
02
Design and planning
Drawings become specification.
Assumptions, materials, responsibilities, permissions, and buildability clarified before the works begin.
03
Pre-construction
The plan becomes a programme.
Deposits, procurement, site protection, RAMS, sequencing, and communication channels agreed in writing.
04
Build and delivery
Execution, without drama.
Trades sequenced. Updates issued weekly. Variations priced and approved before any additional work begins.
05
Completion and aftercare
We do not disappear at handover.
Joint snagging, client walkthrough, full documentation pack, and a twelve-month defects period.
Begin
Your project begins with one conversation.
Share the property, the drawings, or the brief. A Project Director will respond personally within one working day — with our view, in writing, before any commitment.
