Covering Bexley
Alongside Bexley, we also cover Welling, Dartford (3 miles to the east) and Swanley.
Homes in London
London projects often mean working on period terraces with neighbours on both sides, tight access through the house and conservation area controls, so careful planning and party wall work matter as much as the build.
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.
- Strip-out and structural repairs
- Insulation and energy upgrades
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
What is the guide price for a house renovation in Bexley?
What house renovations typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| House renovations | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Light refurbishment | £600 to £1,000 per m² |
| Full renovation | £1,000 to £1,800 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 should I think about before starting?
- Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
- Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
