Common questions

Direct, plain answers. No marketing copy.

How much does a full-house renovation cost?

Mid-spec renovation typically costs £900–£2,400 per square metre depending on age, structure and finishes. A 100m² renovation is usually £100k–£240k. Use the Project Cost Tool for a postcode-adjusted range.

What order do renovation works happen in?

Strip-out → structural → first-fix services → plaster → second-fix → decoration → final commissioning. Compress the order at your peril — sequencing is what separates a smooth renovation from a disaster.

How long does a renovation take?

Full-house renovations typically run 16–32 weeks on site depending on scale. Single-floor is more like 8–14 weeks; single-room cosmetic refurb 2–6 weeks. Design and planning add 4–12 weeks before work starts.
