Where thoughtful preparation meets refined presentation.

With considered detail and quiet precision, we transform homes into spaces that captivate buyers and elevate the selling experience.

Our Purpose

Strategic pre-sale preparation is often a small proportion of a property’s value, yet it can materially influence buyer perception and campaign momentum.

We focus on the improvements that will have the biggest impact on the sale of your home, delivering preparation that is proportionate, considered, and aligned with market behaviour.

We also remove the administrative and logistical load that preparation places on both homeowners and agents, taking away the stress of managing trades, timelines, and decisions.

Our Approach

At Slate & Cedar, every project is shaped by the balance of our complementary strengths.

Robert brings decades of hands-on craftsmanship - a deep understanding of homes, materials, and the subtle details that elevate a space. His eye is trained by years of painting, decorating, and working within the construction and real estate industries, giving him an instinct for what truly matters before a property meets the market.

Louisa brings calm orchestration through thoughtful planning, refined coordination, and a commitment to seamless execution. With a background in project management and a natural instinct for order and aesthetics, she ensures each step feels intentional, organised, and effortlessly handled.

Together, we offer a boutique, highly curated service designed for discerning clients who value discretion, clarity, and excellence. We take on only a select number of projects at a time, allowing us to give each home the considered attention it deserves, and to deliver a selling experience defined by precision, ease, and beautiful transformation.

Our approach is simple: thoughtful preparation, refined presentation, and unwavering care at every stage.
