What is included in a house renovation in Ashton-under-Lyne?
A house renovation brings an older or neglected home up to modern standards: rewiring, new heating, replastering, new kitchen and bathrooms, windows, insulation and often a new layout. It can be done room by room or as one programme while the house is empty.
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
- 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 |
|---|---|
| Light refurbishment | £600 to £1,000 per m² |
| Full renovation | £1,000 to £1,800 per m² |
| Structural renovation and remodel | £1,800 to £2,800 per m² |
What approvals does a house renovation need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.
What can affect a house renovation?
- Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
- Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
