House renovations in Harrow

Homes in London

Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.

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

How much should I budget for a house renovation?

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 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.

How does the project run?

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.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
