A renovation company in Derby that handles every trade
Most renovations need five or six trades: a builder, an electrician, a plumber, a joiner, a tiler and a floor fitter. Booked separately, that means six diaries, six invoices, and nobody responsible for the gaps in between. Derbyshire Specialists Group brings those trades into one team, so one project manager runs the job from the first visit to completion, and one guarantee covers all of the work.
We talk you through the project without jargon before anything starts: what is included, how long each stage takes, and what it will mean for daily life while you are living in the house. Then we stick to it, and if something changes, you hear about it from us first.
Meet Liam Taylor, owner and project manager
Liam has worked in property for more than ten years. He started with his own flooring company, went on to develop properties of his own, and set up Derbyshire Specialists Group because the key to any job involving several trades is coordinating and managing them properly.
In this video he walks through a whole-home renovation we completed in Derby. The work covered:
- Three new bathrooms
- The staircase and carpets
- The plumbing
- Glazed internal bifold doors
- Two media walls
- Painting and decorating
On a project that size there will always be a few problems along the way. Liam’s approach is to say so at the start, keep the customer informed throughout, and put things right quickly when they come up.
“Transparency is key, and communication is free.”
Liam Taylor, Derbyshire Specialists Group

Common questions
Why choose Derbyshire Specialists Group for a renovation in Derby?
Because you deal with one company for the whole job. Our team covers building, joinery, plumbing, electrics, tiling and flooring, so there is one point of contact, one invoice and one guarantee, and no trades blaming each other if something needs putting right. We explain everything in plain English, including how long the work will take and how it will affect your home while it's going on.
Which home renovations add the most value?
Kitchens and bathrooms usually come first, particularly when they include energy-efficient upgrades such as underfloor heating. Extensions and loft conversions add value by adding space: an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen-diner or a home office. We'll talk you through what makes sense for your house and budget before anything is priced.
How does an office refurbishment affect my business while it's happening?
There is always some disruption: noise, areas out of use, and sometimes staff moving desks for a while. We plan the work around how your business runs, phasing it, working out of hours where that helps, and agreeing in advance which areas will be closed and when.
How accurate is your quote for a refurbishment?
We survey the space first, agree exactly what is included, and price the work against that agreed scope. If something unexpected turns up once walls or floors are opened up, we show you, explain the options and agree any change before the work goes ahead.
Do you offer finance?
Yes. Finance is available, subject to status, through our finance partner Ideal4Finance, a credit broker and not a lender. You can see the details on our finance options page or ask us about it when we come to quote.
