Property Refurbishment Costs in London (2026)
Every project gets a fixed-price quotation after a free site survey, with stage payments linked to visible milestones. As a guide:
| Project type | Guide price | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Buy-to-let refresh between tenancies (decorating, flooring, repairs) | quoted individually | 2–6 weeks |
| Full refurbishment (rewire, plumbing, kitchen, bathroom, decoration) | from £18,000 for flats up to £120,000+ for whole-house projects | 8–14 weeks |
| Structural projects, extensions and conversions | quoted individually | 12+ weeks |
All prices are subject to VAT.
The final figure depends on the size of the property, specification, structural scope and finish level. Period properties — the Victorian and Edwardian terraces that make up much of West London — usually sit higher than modern flats because of solid walls, old services and the preparation they need. The fixed quote removes that uncertainty: we survey properly, price everything in, and hold the price.
Flat Refurbishment vs House Renovation
Flats bring their own rules: freeholder consent and licence to alter, restricted working hours, service risers, and getting materials up (and waste down) without a skip outside. Houses bring structure: steels, roofs, extensions and party wall agreements. We deliver both week in, week out — see our dedicated flat refurbishment service for apartment-specific detail, and our completed projects for examples of each.
Full Refurbishments, Managed End to End
Whether it’s your own home or a property you let, a good refurbishment comes down to three things: a committed start date, a fixed cost you can plan around, and a finish that genuinely adds value. Works start when we say they will, you deal with one project contact rather than five separate trades, and we sequence the job to keep disruption to a minimum. For refurbishments that include a new kitchen or bathroom, everything is delivered by the same in-house team under one programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full refurbishment take?
A typical 3-bedroom property takes 8–14 weeks. Larger or listed properties may take longer. We’ll give you a detailed programme before we start and keep you updated weekly.
Do you handle planning permission and building regulations?
Yes. We manage the entire process — planning applications, building control, party wall agreements, and Thames Water build-over agreements where needed. You deal with one company throughout.
Can we live in the property during the works?
For full refurbishments we strongly recommend vacating, but it’s sometimes possible to phase the work so you can stay. We’ll discuss this at the survey stage and plan accordingly.
What areas of London do you cover?
We work across all London boroughs, with a particular focus on West, North, and Central London. We’re happy to travel further for the right project — just ask.
How much does it cost to refurbish a flat or house in London?
Full refurbishments typically run from £18,000 for flats up to £120,000+ for whole-house projects depending on size and specification. Lighter between-tenancy refreshes cost far less. Every job is priced as a fixed quote after a free survey.
How do stage payments work?
Payments are linked to completed, visible milestones agreed in the quotation — you never pay ahead of the work. There’s no large upfront deposit culture here: you can see what you’re paying for at every stage.
Do you work with letting agents and property managers?
Yes — a large share of our work comes through agents and property managers who need reliable turnarounds between tenancies. We report progress weekly with photos, so you always know where the job stands, even from a distance.
