Repairs & maintenance
Leaks, taps and toilets, blockages and the day-to-day faults that need sorting quickly and properly.
A contractor that runs like a project, not a gamble.
Vanguard Projects is a London construction, refurbishment and maintenance company. We exist for one reason: property work that's organised, communicated and accountable, because that's the part the trade gets wrong most often.
01 · The people behind it
Thirty years of combined experience, in one accountable team.
Vanguard Projects is run by people who have spent their working lives on buildings, not behind a desk.
Between us we hold over 30 years of combined experience across the full stack of property work: from groundworks and structure to first and second fix, finishes, and the planned and reactive maintenance that keeps a building right long after the job is signed off.
That range is the point. The people scoping your work have usually done the work, so the plan is grounded in what actually happens on site, not a guess that unravels the moment the walls come off. It is also why we can hold one job from the first drawing to the final repair years later, without handing you between firms that each know only their slice.

02 · What "full stack" means
From the ground up, and on for the life of the building.
Most building work gets handed between trades that never quite join up. We coordinate the whole sequence as one job, with each trade carried out by people qualified for it, and stay on for what comes after, so every stage is run by a team that understands how it affects the next.
- 01Groundworks & structure
Foundations, structural alterations, steels and new openings, with the right engineering and notifications.
- 02Building envelope
Roofs, walls, windows and doors. Weather-tight, insulated and sound before anything goes inside.
- 03First fix
Plumbing, electrics and carpentry, set out and tested before the walls close up.
- 04Second fix & joinery
Kitchens, bathrooms, doors, skirtings and fitted work, set to a standard that holds up.
- 05Finishes
Plastering, tiling, flooring, decoration and making good. The part everyone sees and judges.
- 06Sign-off & handover
Snags closed, work checked with you, and the paperwork and guarantees handed over for your files.
- 07Maintenance, after
Planned upkeep and reactive repairs, for the life of the building, by the team that already knows it.
03 · The work
From a dripping tap to a full build.
The company name is young; the experience behind it is not. Between us we've handled just about everything a property throws up, for homes and commercial premises alike, from a same-day repair to a ground-up build. We'd rather show you that range than a wall of five-star quotes.
Electrical
Domestic electrics and fault-finding, through to full commercial electrical work and installations.
Installations & fit-out
Fitted furniture, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery, measured and set in to last.
Refurbishment
Single rooms through to whole-property refurbishments, brought back to a lettable or liveable standard.
Builds & conversions
Extensions, conversions and full ground-up builds, run as properly managed projects.
Commercial
Fit-out, electrical and building works for commercial premises, planned around your trading hours.
Much of our work comes by repeat custom and word of mouth, which is the proof we trust most. Real projects and photographs will follow here, with our clients' permission.
04 · How we run a job
What we hold ourselves to.
Every job runs through the same clear sequence, from site visit and written scope to sign-off and aftercare. The standards behind it do not change with the size of the work. See how we work in full.
Say what we'll do, then do it
A written scope and quote you can hold us to, not a moving target.
No silence
You'll always know the status of your job without having to chase for it.
Honest about cost
Changes are raised and agreed before they're done, never buried in the final bill.
Finish properly
Snags closed, work signed off, paperwork handed over. The last 5% matters most.
The company
A real company you can check.
