What’s the difference between refurbishment and renovation?

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

For luxury finishes or layout changes, costs can rise.

Can you renovate a kitchen for £10k?

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

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.

Do I need planning permission for a refurbishment?

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.

How much should I budget for a full house refurbishment in the UK?

What’s the most expensive part of a kitchen renovation?

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.

How can I refurbish my conservatory on a budget?

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.

What is the four year rule for conservatories?

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. [Refer to our cost guides](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/) for typical prices per m².

“ProEvo are superb who completed an extensive renovation which was almost a rebuild. Their work is of an excellent standard. Their guidance to me as their client was informative and 99% agreed. The other 1% was still delivered with the same commitment. They worked hard…no half days off and even came back much earlier than expected over Christmas. The hard work they put into working and supporting me making timely decisions so that work could continue without delivery pauses meant they finished ahead of schedule. I cannot recommend them enough.”
