Costs

How much does a whole-house renovation cost in London?

These are typical London market ranges for 2026, not a fixed price list or a quote from us — your actual cost depends on the property's condition, size and the finish level you're after.

TypeTypical London cost (2026)Timeline
Light / cosmetic refurbishment (per m²)£800 – £1,200 per m²6–10 weeks
Mid-range full renovation (per m²)£1,200 – £1,800 per m²12–18 weeks
Full structural / high-spec renovation (per m²)£1,800 – £2,500+ per m²18–28 weeks
Cosmetic refresh — 2-bed flat (~65–80 m²)£65,000 – £130,0008–12 weeks
Full renovation — 3-bed house (~110 m²)£130,000 – £275,00016–26 weeks
Full renovation — 4-bed period semi (~135 m²)£160,000 – £350,000+22–32 weeks

Ranges cover labour, materials and VAT for general building work — strip-out, structural repairs, plastering, joinery and redecoration, with kitchens and bathrooms typically a separate line. They exclude major extensions, loft or basement conversions, and one-off costs like party-wall agreements, building-control fees, skip hire and asbestos removal, which can add £15,000–£45,000+ on a full job.

What affects your whole-house renovation cost?

Property condition

An older London terrace needing rewiring, replumbing, new heating and replastering throughout costs far more than a structurally sound home wanting cosmetic updates.

Finish & specification

Standard fittings sit at the bottom of each band; bespoke joinery, premium tiling, engineered flooring and designer kitchens push you toward £2,500+ per m².

Structural works

Removing walls, adding steel beams, underpinning or reconfiguring layouts adds engineer fees, building control and weeks of programme on top of the base figure.

Scope of M&E

Full rewire (£4,000–£9,000), replumb (£3,500–£8,000) and a new heating system (£5,500–£12,000) are major line items often hidden inside a headline price.

London location & access

Restricted parking, narrow terraces, scaffolding licences, skip permits and borough regulations push London 15–25% above national rates before any work starts.

Living in vs empty

Renovating while you still occupy the home slows the programme by 20–30% and raises labour cost, as trades work room-by-room around you rather than the whole house.

FAQ

Common general builder questions

What's the difference between a general builder and a specialist?

A general builder coordinates and delivers everything — extensions, plumbing, electrical, plastering, finishes — under one roof. A specialist focuses on one trade (e.g. roofer, plumber, electrician). For most renovation projects you need a general builder; specialists are useful for narrow, one-off jobs.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. We're best known for full renovations and extensions, but we take on small jobs too — repairs, single-room refurbishments, structural fixes. The same team delivers, the same standards apply.

How much do general builders charge in London?

London general builders typically charge £250–£400 per day per tradesperson on smaller jobs. For larger projects we provide a written quote after the site visit.

Can you handle planning and Building Regs?

Yes. We handle Building Regulations sign-off as part of every relevant project. For planning permission we can advise and submit, or work with your chosen architect. For listed buildings and conservation areas, we recommend a heritage-experienced architect.

Do you do commercial work too?

Yes. Alongside residential general building, we deliver commercial fit-outs across London — bars, restaurants, retail, offices, salons.
