Renovation and bathroom refurbishment in Essen
An inherited colliery house, a flat from the reconstruction years or a shop unit in Rüttenscheid: in Essen, renovating nearly always means moving several trades at once. Our expert team coordinates them from the head office on Ruhrallee.

What matters in Essen
A large share of flats in Frohnhausen, Holsterhausen, Altenessen and Steele were built in the decades after the war, with small internal bathrooms, basic pipework and few sockets. When the owner changes, everything is often due at once: bathroom, electrics, floors and walls. Colliery and estate houses are passing to a new generation and should become brighter for young families, though heritage protection has a say in historic estates such as the Margarethenhöhe. Kettwig and Werden have half-timbered houses with delicate fabric, Bredeney has large villas. Many long-standing owners also want a low-barrier bathroom so they can stay at home.
Renovations in the Ruhr area are managed by our head office on Ruhrallee in Essen. On request, the expert team of the division walks through the house or flat with you, records the condition of every trade and develops a sequence in which demolition, installation, drywall, tiling, painting and flooring follow one another. You have a single contact person who leads all the divisions involved and reports to you regularly. The quote is free and non-binding and breaks the work down by room and trade.
Focus areas
Typical jobs in Essen
The internal bathroom rethought
The windowless bathroom of a post-war flat becomes a bright room with a level-access shower, good ventilation and considered lighting. Pipes, waterproofing and electrics are renewed at the same time.
A colliery house for the next generation
We open up small floor plans once the structure is clarified, renew services and surfaces and agree visible changes in protected estates with the heritage authority in advance.
Low-barrier in a familiar home
We plan a step-free shower, grab rails, wider doors and slip-resistant floors so the bathroom still feels homely. Your care insurance fund advises on possible grants before work starts.
Renovating from a distance
Owners who no longer live in the Ruhr area receive photo reports on every phase. Key handover, clearance and final cleaning are handled by our other divisions as well.

FAQ
Frequent questions from Essen
Your question is not listed? Call us or send us a message – we answer personally.
May I refurbish the bathroom in a listed estate house?
Interior work is often possible, but with listed buildings the interior fit-out can also require consent. Changes to windows, facade and roof certainly need approval. Clarify the project early with the lower heritage authority of the city. We supply descriptions and drawings for this and only start once consent has been given.
Are there grants for a low-barrier bathroom?
For people with a recognised care grade, the care insurance fund can subsidise measures that improve the home environment, and federal or state funding programmes exist from time to time. The key point is to apply before work begins. We prepare the quote needed for this with a clear description of the barrier-reducing measures.
I inherited a house in Essen and live far away – do you take care of everything?
After a joint walk-through, which can also be followed by video call, we plan clearance, renovation and cleaning as one project. Your contact person manages the keys, coordinates the divisions and sends you photos of every phase. You decide on materials and colours using samples and pictures.
