What can a local whole internal refurbishment specialist help with?
Transform a dated, tired property into a modern, functional home by hiring an experienced main contractor or project manager to oversee a complete house overhaul. Look out for local building and refurbishment specialists who:
- Coordinate multiple trades—including plumbers, electricians, plasterers, carpenters, and decorators—keeping your project on schedule and within budget.
- Handle major structural alterations, such as removing internal load-bearing walls, installing steel beams (RSJs), and altering floor layouts.
- Execute complete electrical rewiring, central heating upgrades, and plumbing overhauls to bring older properties up to modern safety and energy efficiency standards.
- Provide comprehensive finishing services, including floor installation, kitchen and bathroom fitting, custom carpentry, and full re-decoration.
- Provide clear, itemised contracts and staged payment schedules, keeping you updated with regular progress reports.
A local specialist understands regional building regulations and common architectural quirks in local properties, ensuring your full renovation meets all legal and structural requirements.

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.

Hi, I am carpenter with more than 15 years of experience and formal carpentry qualification. I do everything, from furniture assembly to door installation and custom garden sheds.
Calls himself George here but when he arrived he said he was Anthony. Unless he is impersonating someone else! He did the job quickly but then I gave him another job to fit a new wooden gate and a lock on it. Trusted him and paid in advance. never finished the job, or return my calls to complete my job. I eventually left a message. He replied that he was busy somewhere else and would come in 2 days but never showed up.

The job started as refurbishing a kitchen extension. Nik and his guys worked quickly and paid attention to detail. Nik came up with the best possible layout given the space. I liked the way he worked so he ended up refurbishing the whole house. He made use of the materials and fixed things that needed fixing as he went along all within the quoted price. A good honest team of builders that transformed the property.

Danny from Prestige got in touch within minutes of the job being posted. He promised to come first thing the following morning, and kept his promise. He fixed a leaky spigot and a tap corroded into no longer turning. I was very satisfied with his work.
