Covering Devizes
We work in Devizes (SN10) and the places around it, including Calne, Chippenham and Trowbridge.
Homes in the South West
Homes in the South West range from coastal and rural properties in stone and slate to city terraces and modern estates, so extensions are designed to match the local materials.
What does a house renovation involve?
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.
- Insulation and energy upgrades
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
- Decoration and flooring if required
What will a house renovation cost?
Use these ranges to budget for house renovations; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| 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 |
Planning and building rules in Devizes
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 affect a house renovation?
- 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.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
House renovations: common questions
Can we live in the house during a renovation?
For a light refurbishment, often yes. For a full or structural renovation, most people move out for at least part of the work.
Do you handle the building control side?
Yes. We apply for and arrange inspections for everything that needs approval.
Can you visit a house in Devizes to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
