Typical costs

Guide figures only. Older houses often hide surprises, so a visit and itemised quote are the only reliable way to price a renovation.

What affects the price

  • Structural changes. Removing walls means steel beams and building control.
  • Rewiring and heating. Often needed in older homes, and best done before plastering.
  • Kitchens and bathrooms. Usually the biggest individual costs.
  • The age and condition of the house. Damp, old plaster and uneven floors add work.
  • Finishes. Flooring, joinery and decoration.

Budgeting tips

  • Keep a contingency of around 10 to 15% for anything found once work starts.
  • Decide on kitchens, bathrooms and flooring early, because lead times can be long.
  • Do the messy work, such as rewiring and plastering, once, before the finishes go in.
