Refurbishment means updating or improving what’s already there. Renovation usually involves bigger structural changes or restoring a space to its original condition.

It depends on the project, but kitchens, bathrooms and structural changes often top the list. Labour and high-end finishes can push costs up fast.

On average, a kitchen refurb in Kent starts around £5046 and can cost up to £11222, with an average price of £7550. For luxury finishes or layout changes, costs can rise.

Yes, if you plan carefully. Choose mid-range materials, keep the existing layout, and get multiple quotes to stay on budget.

Restoring sash windows can be cheaper and preserve period features; but it depends on the damage. Always compare quotes.

Paint cupboards, swap out handles, upgrade lighting or replace splashbacks; small changes can go a long way.

Often not, especially for internal work. But it’s a good idea to check with your local authority if you’re changing layouts, adding extensions, or making structural changes.

A realistic budget for a full house refurb in the UK is around £850 per m² including labour and standard materials. Costs can climb with layout changes, bespoke finishes, or delays. Speak to a tradesperson directly for help on costs, or use our Job Cost Calculator for a bespoke cost estimate.

Cabinetry, appliances, and structural work (like knocking down walls) tend to cost the most. Custom cabinetry and stone worktops can really push the price up. Labour also adds a big chunk; especially if multiple trades are needed.

You can modernise an old conservatory by updating the roof, replacing glazing, adding insulation, or painting frames. Even simple fixes like blinds, new flooring or fresh décor can make a big difference. Always compare quotes before diving in.

The four year rule means that if your conservatory didn’t meet planning rules when built, but has been standing for four years without enforcement action, it may be considered lawful. It's a ood idea to get confirmation from your local planning authority.

For light refurbishments, allow 4 - 6 weeks. Medium projects like kitchen or bathroom updates could take 2 - 3 months. Full renovations (including electrics or layout changes) can take 4 - 6 months, depending on the scope.

Yes, £50k can go a long way if you focus on key areas and stick to a clear plan. You’re unlikely to fully renovate a large property, but for smaller homes or phased projects, it’s a strong starting point. Prioritise the essentials and get multiple quotes.

Start by measuring your space and getting itemised quotes from at least three tradespeople. Costs will vary depending on materials, location, complexity, and condition of your home.
