Property Renovation.

Timelines vary based on scale, but here is a rough guide for 2026:

• Apartment/Small Terrace Refresh: 6 to 8 weeks.

• Average 3-Bedroom Semi-Detached (Full Strip-out): 3 to 4 months.

• Large Period Property (Structural & Heritage): 6 months+. The biggest factor in “time drift” is usually the decision-making process for finishes (tiles, kitchens, flooring). We provide a Project Milestone Schedule at the start so you know exactly when your input is needed to keep the site moving.

You don’t necessarily need to hire an independent architect first. We offer a Design & Build service where we handle the entire lifecycle of the project. By using our in-house design partners, we ensure your plans are “buildable”—meaning we won’t design something that is structurally impossible or wildly over your budget. However, if you already have a chosen architect, we are more than happy to work as the lead contractor to bring their specific vision to life with technical precision.

This depends on the “surgical” nature of the work. If we are renovating a single floor or a specific wing, we can often isolate the area with dust-screening and temporary partitions, allowing you to live on-site. However, for a “back-to-brick” renovation where water, heating, and electricity are disconnected, we strongly recommend moving out. Living in a construction zone can be stressful and often slows down the pace of work; vacating for the most intensive 4–6 weeks usually results in a faster, cleaner, and safer delivery.

In 2026, a “standard” renovation is rarely standard, as costs depend heavily on the age of the property and the level of finish. However, as a general benchmark:

• Basic Refresh: (Painting, flooring, and minor joinery) typically starts from £500 – £750 per m2

• Full Internal Renovation: (Including new kitchen, bathroom, rewiring, and plastering) usually ranges between £1,250 – £1,750 per m2

• Structural Renovation: (Adding extensions or removing load-bearing walls) can exceed £2,250+ per m2

  We provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation once the “first fix” requirements and material specifications are confirmed, ensuring you aren’t hit with unexpected surprises mid-build.
