- Provide comprehensive finishing services, including floor installation, kitchen and bathroom fitting, custom carpentry, and full re-decoration.

How much does a whole internal refurbishment cost?
The overall cost of a full house refurbishment varies dramatically depending on the property's size, its current condition, structural changes required, and the quality of finishes and fixtures you choose.
For standard UK homes:
- Basic refurbishment (cosmetic update, new kitchen/bathroom, redecorating): Typically ranges from £500 to £800 per square metre.
- Standard refurbishment (includes rewiring, re-plumbing, new heating, and layout tweaks): Generally costs £800 to £1,500 per square metre.
- High-end / full structural overhaul (complete strip-out, architectural redesign, luxury finishes): Can range from £1,500 to £2,500+ per square metre, translating to anywhere from £50,000 to £150,000+ for a typical 3-bedroom house.
To get an accurate price for your project, post a job today to request a detailed quote from a local building specialist.
What is the difference between a partial and a full internal refurbishment?
Choosing the right scope of work depends on your budget, property condition, and long-term living goals. Understanding the difference helps you plan your project timeline effectively:
- Partial refurbishment: Focuses on specific areas of the home, such as updating just the kitchen and bathroom, or redecorating individual rooms. It is faster, less disruptive, and can often be completed while you continue living in the property.
- Full internal refurbishment: A comprehensive, property-wide overhaul that typically strips the building back to its shell. It involves rewiring, re-plumbing, installing new insulation, re-plastering, replacing floors, and updating every room simultaneously.
- Key comparison: Partial refurbishments target isolated problem areas or style updates, whereas a full internal refurbishment resets the property's lifecycle, addressing hidden structural, electrical, and thermal issues while completely modernising the layout.
Investing in a professional main contractor ensures your project is managed efficiently, preventing costly delays and substandard workmanship across overlapping trades.
Revitalising your entire living space breathes new life into your property and dramatically increases its market value. Whether you are modernising a period fixer-upper or reconfiguring a dated family home, a local building specialist can get it sorted.

Other whole internal refurbishment FAQs
Do I need to move out during a whole house refurbishment?
Yes. For a full internal refurbishment—especially one involving rewiring, plumbing replacement, plastering, and structural changes—the property will essentially be a working building site without working water, heating, or kitchen facilities. Moving out temporary is safer and speeds up the construction process.
Do I need planning permission for an internal refurbishment?
Generally, internal alterations (like updating kitchens, bathrooms, rewiring, or re-plastering) do not require planning permission. However, planning permission may be required if your property is listed, located in a conservation area, or if you are removing structural load-bearing walls or altering the building's external envelope. Building Regulations approval will still apply to electrical, gas, and structural work.
How long does a full house refurbishment take?
Depending on the size of the property and the complexity of structural changes, a full internal refurbishment typically takes between 3 to 6 months from start to finish. Your contractor will provide a detailed timeline and schedule of works before construction begins.

A guy called Michael showed up, gave it all the large talk about what he would do. Gave him an address for another project also out of goodwill so he didn’t have to buy another lead. Promised to get back to me despite promising me he would return that week to do the work. Instead just ignored every phone call and message. He kept mentioning about wanting to do it in the evening…. This was impossible as it was a shopfront. Absolutely no balls, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
