From the moment your project leaves the design phase, our installation team is already preparing behind the scenes. Long before we arrive on-site, your project manager ensures all materials are ordered, trades are scheduled, and your design has been reviewed for buildability. Detailed timelines are created and discussed with you – so everyone is aligned.
Once it’s time to begin installation, our team steps in with one goal: to deliver a seamless, stress-free transformation. Whether we’re refurbishing a kitchen or reimagining a bathroom, our on-site process is built around care, communication, and a deep respect for your space. Here’s a look at what really happens behind the scenes during an Amberth installation.
The First Hour: Inspection & Protection
Every installation begins with a thorough condition report. We photograph and document the existing space, noting any previous damage to protect both your property and our team. Then we get to work prepping the site: covering floors, protecting communal areas, and tailoring safeguards based on your home (wood, carpet, tile – each gets its own treatment).
Preparing the Space
Before we lift a single tool, the space is cleared and zoned. We discuss any remaining personal items with you, arrange waste removal ahead of time, and designate specific storage areas for tools and materials. Zip doors and dust screens go up to minimise disruption, while your input is factored in from the start.
Communication Is Everything
We create a dedicated WhatsApp group for every client. It allows real-time updates, quick decisions, and the kind of visibility you deserve. You’ll hear from your project manager or designer weekly (or more often), and we keep records of all approvals and conversations, so everything runs smoothly.
Who You’ll See First
In the first few days, you’ll typically see electricians, plumbers, and multi-traders arriving to disconnect utilities and begin prep work. The site manager is always on hand, coordinating trades and ensuring each phase kicks off on schedule. Our flexible approach means we can adapt quickly, even if timelines shift.
Day 1 & 2: Setup and Demolition
We spend the first day protecting surfaces, reviewing logistics, and starting initial demolition. Stripping back the old materials helps us understand the condition of what’s underneath, ensuring a solid foundation for what comes next.
Client Check-Ins at Milestones
You’ll never be left wondering where things stand. We schedule check-ins at key milestones, updating you with revised work schedules and inviting your input. Whether it’s an in-person walkthrough or a quick online call, these touchpoints keep you in the loop.
How Our Team Works Together
Our in-house team of designers, site managers, and installers all collaborate closely. The design team oversees the build to maintain design integrity, while the site manager ensures trades are on time, the space is clean, and everything is on track. Everyone knows their role and works together to deliver.
Our Daily Rituals
Yes, we play music (at a respectful volume). Yes, we break for lunch together on-site. And yes, we clean up every single day. That means mopping, hoovering, and even scenting the floors. Especially when you’re living on-site. We want you to enjoy the journey, not just the end result.
Minimising Disruption
We always work around you. If you’re working from home, we’ll schedule noisy tasks outside of your meeting times. Zip screens, floor protection, and careful scheduling mean you’re not stepping over tools or dealing with dust.
If Something Goes Off-Plan
Sometimes surprises happen (like a product delay or a structural discovery mid-build). If they do, we update you straight away with proposed solutions – not just problems. Nothing gets actioned without your input, and you’ll always know the cost and time implications upfront.
If Someone Can’t Make It? We Adjust.
Our timeline always includes built-in contingencies. If a trade can’t make it, we reshuffle the schedule and carry on with a different task. Because we handle everything in-house, we can be agile without affecting the overall delivery.
The Final Day
When it’s time to hand your space back, we do it right. We remove all protections, complete a final deep clean, and review the work against our own snag list. If anything’s not quite right, we resolve it. And we don’t disappear. We’re always here for the next project.
Handover Done Right
Once you’re settled, we provide a full digital handover pack: paint colours, tile references, stopcock locations, appliance warranties, and more. All in one place. If anything ever gets misplaced, we’ve got it backed up for you.
Final Thought
At Amberth, installation isn’t just a step in the process. It’s where your vision becomes reality. And we take that responsibility seriously. With structure, care, and just the right amount of music in the background.
FAQ’s
How far in advance should I book my installation slot?
Because we take care of design, supply and installation for you, there’s no need to book. We’ll discuss and decide on a date that works for everyone. the date is always decided on in advance to ensure availability of our team and suppliers, especially during peak periods.
Can I live at home during the renovation?
In most cases, yes. We tailor our schedule and protection methods to make it as comfortable as possible for clients who remain on-site. For extensive works, we’ll advise accordingly.
What hours do your installation teams typically work?
Our teams usually work Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm. If alternate arrangements are needed (e.g. late starts or Saturday access), we’re happy to discuss up front.
Do I need to hire my own contractors or suppliers?
Not at all. We provide a full design, supply, and installation service, managing every trade and material source so you don’t have to coordinate separately.
What if I want to change something mid-installation?
We understand that ideas evolve. If changes are possible, we’ll advise on the impact it’ll have on time and budget before proceeding – nothing is actioned without your approval.
Is there any maintenance I’ll need to do once the project is complete?
Yes, but nothing overwhelming. We provide a maintenance overview tailored to your finishes, along with recommended products to keep everything looking as good as day one.
Can I request the same team for future projects?
Absolutely. Many of our clients work with us on multiple rooms over time. We keep detailed records and are happy to bring the same core team back where possible.
Do you offer support after the handover?
Yes. We remain available for post-project queries and can assist with minor adjustments, additional works, or any snag items that arise after you’ve settled in. We invite you to stop by our studio at anytime.
