What’s the difference between refurbishment and renovation?

Is it cheaper to restore or replace windows?

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

How do I update a kitchen on a budget?

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

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.

How long does it take to renovate a 2 bed flat?

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.

Is £50k enough to renovate a house?

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.

How do I calculate refurbishment costs?

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.

“James and his team worked really hard on our building. They created a beautiful room to replace our conservatory. They fitted bi fold doors and a lantern roof to the construction and it created a fabulous living space Great communication throughout the whole job. Aftercare was great too. Nothing was any trouble at all. Would highly recommend”
