What is a house renovation?

We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.

Rewiring, heating and plumbing
Insulation and energy upgrades
Decoration and flooring if required

What will a house renovation cost?

Typical ranges for house renovations. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

House renovations	Guide price incl. VAT

Full renovation	£1,000 to £1,800 per m²
Structural renovation and remodel	£1,800 to £2,800 per m²

How is a house renovation approved in Ashington?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed. It does need building regulations approval because it affects the structure.

What should I think about before starting?

Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
