Common Questions
What does a full property refurbishment include?
A full refurbishment usually covers everything from first fix to finish, including any structural changes, rewiring, replumbing, plastering, a new kitchen and bathrooms, flooring and decorating. We tailor the scope to your home and set it all out in the quote.
How much does a house refurbishment cost?
A full property refurbishment in London typically costs between £1,000 and £1,800 per square metre, so a two-bedroom flat of around sixty-five square metres would come in at roughly £65,000 to £120,000 depending on the specification. A three-bedroom house of around one hundred square metres might range from £100,000 to £180,000 for a comprehensive renovation including a new kitchen, new bathrooms, rewiring, re-plumbing, plastering, flooring and full decoration. Costs vary based on the condition of the property, the quality of materials and fittings, structural changes such as removing walls, and whether you are adding a loft conversion or extension at the same time. We carry out a detailed survey, discuss every room with you and provide a fixed written quote broken down by trade and by room, so you can adjust the scope to match your budget before any work begins.
How long does a full refurbishment take?
A full property refurbishment typically takes between eight and sixteen weeks depending on the size of the property and the scope of work. A one-bedroom flat needing a new kitchen, new bathroom, rewiring and redecoration usually completes in around eight to ten weeks. A three-bedroom house requiring structural alterations, full re-plumbing, new heating, two new bathrooms, a kitchen and complete redecoration generally takes twelve to sixteen weeks. The programme follows a logical sequence: strip-out and structural work first, then first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, screeding, second-fix services, kitchen and bathroom installation, tiling, flooring and final decoration. We produce a room-by-room schedule before starting and share it with you so you always know what is happening and when. Weekly site meetings keep everything on track, and we flag any changes to the timeline immediately so there are no surprises.
Can you carry out the work in phases?
Yes. If you would rather spread the work or stay in part of the house, we can phase the project room by room and plan it around you.
Are you insured and is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We are registered with the Federation of Master Builders, we carry full public liability insurance and every refurbishment is covered by an 18 month workmanship warranty.
