What does a house renovation involve?
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.
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Strip-out and structural repairs

Do you need permission for a house renovation in St Andrews?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Scotland, but structural work needs a building warrant before it starts.
What can affect a house renovation?
- Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
