What goes into 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.
- Strip-out and structural repairs
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
- 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 |
Do you need permission for a house renovation in Portadown?
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Northern Ireland, but structural work needs building control approval.
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?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- 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.
