About Ukract

UKRACT is a London contractor carrying out renovation and refurbishment work on both commercial and residential projects, operating from Covent Garden in the centre of the city. On the commercial side the company handles hotel refurbishment and commercial fit outs, the kind of work where a building has to be stripped back, rebuilt and returned to use to a standard that paying guests and customers will judge. On the residential side it takes on kitchen fitting, bathroom installation, loft conversions, basement conversions and house extensions, along with brickwork, covering both the projects that add space to a property and the ones that bring existing rooms up to date. What distinguishes the way the firm works is that its team is fully in house. Carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, tiling, plastering, painting and decorating and brickwork are all covered by people working for the same business rather than assembled from separate subcontractors for each stage. On a renovation that matters more than it might appear. Most of the delay and most of the disagreement on a building project happens in the gaps between trades, where one contractor is waiting on another and nobody owns the schedule. Keeping the trades under one contract closes those gaps and gives the client a single point of contact for the whole job rather than a list of numbers to chase.
