Homes in the West Midlands

Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.

What goes into 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.

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

What approvals does a house renovation need in England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

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 change the price or programme?

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.
