Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.

What is a house renovation?

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.

What is the guide price for a house renovation in Peterhead?

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

Full renovation	£1,000 to £1,800 per m²
Structural renovation and remodel	£1,800 to £2,800 per m²

Do you need permission for a house renovation in Peterhead?

Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.

Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Scotland, but structural work needs a building warrant before it starts.

What should I think about before starting?

Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.

What happens after I enquire?

Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
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.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

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 Peterhead 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.
