We create bathrooms that blend comfort, durability and premium finishes. Our bathroom renovations include full waterproofing, plumbing work, tiling, ventilation improvements, heating installations and lighting upgrades. From modern wet rooms to elegant family bathrooms, we bring precision and care to every detail.

Structural Alterations & Layout Changes

Many Oxford homeowners look to improve the flow of their home by reconfiguring layouts, removing walls or adjusting room proportions. Our experienced team handles all structural renovation work, including load-bearing wall removals, steel installation, chimney removals, stair adjustments and internal reconfigurations — ensuring compliance with safety and building regulations at all times.

Interior Upgrades

From new flooring and plastering to bespoke joinery, windows and doors, we offer a wide range of interior renovation solutions. Each finish is applied with craftsmanship and attention to detail to create a cohesive, high-quality result.

Energy-Efficient Renovations

Energy performance is increasingly important for Oxford homeowners. We upgrade insulation, replace windows and doors, install modern boilers and heating systems, improve airtightness and integrate sustainable materials — making your home more comfortable, more efficient and less costly to run.

Period Property Renovations in Oxford

Oxford’s characterful architecture requires specialist care and respect. Whether working on Victorian terraces in East Oxford or Edwardian homes in Summertown, we preserve key features while improving structural integrity, comfort and functionality. Our team understands the complexities of traditional materials, ageing structures, conservation considerations and heritage-aligned design.

Our Renovation Process – Managed From Concept to Completion

We believe renovations should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At Exelion, we handle every stage with clarity, professionalism and a strong commitment to your peace of mind.

The process begins with an initial consultation and detailed property assessment, where we discuss your goals, evaluate the existing structure and identify any constraints or opportunities. Where architectural or engineering input is required, we collaborate closely with trusted professionals, ensuring designs are achievable, safe and compliant.

We assist with planning permission, permitted development guidance and building regulations compliance. Once planning is in place, our accredited team prepares the site, manages strip-out works, coordinates utilities, installs structural supports and carries out all necessary construction elements.

Throughout the build, we maintain rigorous health and safety standards, clear communication and transparent timelines. Whether we are opening up a living space, installing a new heating system or completing final decorative finishes, each stage is approached with the same care and precision. The project concludes with thorough quality checks, snagging, and a smooth handover — leaving you with a beautifully renovated home ready to enjoy.

Renovating Oxford’s Diverse Property Styles

Oxford is known for its wide range of residential architecture, and each style demands a tailored approach.

Victorian & Edwardian Homes

These period properties are common in areas such as Jericho, East Oxford, Cowley and Summertown. Renovating them often requires structural improvements, damp-proofing, insulation upgrades and careful preservation of character features such as fireplaces, cornices and sash windows.

1930s & Mid-Century Properties

Homes built in the 1930s and onwards often benefit from layout reconfigurations, open-plan transformations, new kitchens, modern heating systems and improved insulation.

Modern Homes & New Builds

These properties allow for more contemporary upgrades, including sleek kitchens, modern lighting packages, bespoke storage and high-performance energy-efficient installations.

Flats & Maisonettes

Renovating flats requires an understanding of structural restrictions, soundproofing, fire regulations and consent from building owners or management companies. Our team ensures all works comply with regulations while maximising the available space.

Our local knowledge of Oxford’s building stock helps us avoid common pitfalls, streamline approvals and deliver renovations that feel cohesive and authentic to the home’s character.

The Benefits of Renovating Your Home in Oxford

A thoughtful renovation can significantly enhance both your home’s value and your quality of life. In a competitive property market like Oxford, well-executed renovations often deliver excellent long-term returns.

Renovations can improve natural light, create open-plan living spaces, enhance comfort, modernise outdated rooms, introduce energy-efficient solutions and allow your property to grow with your lifestyle. Many homeowners choose to renovate instead of moving, as it avoids the cost and disruption associated with finding a new home in an area as sought after as Oxford.

Exelion operates with a deep commitment to safety, quality and transparency. Our work is underpinned by professional accreditation, strong health and safety practices and compliance with all UK building regulations.
