Renovating your whole house is a massive investment. It’s also pretty complicated, and costs can spiral if you’re not paying attention to what each stage really involves.
A complete whole house renovation in the UK usually costs between £50,000 and £100,000 for a standard three-bed, or about £1,200 to £2,500 per square metre. Your actual spend depends on the size, age, and condition of your property—and how fancy you want your finishes.
Here’s a breakdown of the main stages with realistic UK prices for 2025. I’ll highlight what drives up costs, where you can actually save, and what sneaky expenses tend to pop up.
Key Takeaways
- Whole house renovation costs run from £1,200 to £2,500 per square metre, depending on spec and location.
- Always tack on a 15-20% contingency budget for those “oh no” moments when something unexpected turns up.
- If you renovate in phases, expect to pay 10-15% more overall—but it does let you spread out the cost and maybe even stay living there.
What Determines Whole House Renovation Costs?
Three main things decide your renovation bill: how much work you’re planning, the size and type of your house, and where you live in the UK. Knowing these helps you estimate better and avoid nasty surprises.
Scope and Depth of Renovation
How deep you go with your reno is the biggest factor. A basic cosmetic update—think new flooring, paint, and fixtures—costs £30,000-£50,000 for most homes. That’s just surface stuff, no big structural changes.
If you’re replacing kitchens, bathrooms, and rewiring, you’re looking at £50,000-£100,000. This is a pretty standard full renovation, but you’re not moving walls or anything dramatic.
Go for major structural changes and the bill jumps to £100,000-£150,000 or more. This covers stuff like removing walls, extensions, new roofs, and full system upgrades. Older homes (50+ years) almost always spring hidden structural issues on you, which can add £5,000-£20,000.
Stripping everything back to the bare bones costs an extra £3,000-£8,000. It’s not cheap, but it does reveal problems early and gives you a fresh start.
Property Size and Type
Renovation costs scale with your house size—about £1,000-£2,500 per square metre for a full job. So, a typical 93 sq m (1,000 sq ft) three-bed will set you back £93,000-£232,500.
Property Size Impact:
- 2-bed terrace (70 sq m): £70,000-£175,000
- 3-bed semi (93 sq m): £93,000-£232,500
- 4-bed detached (140 sq m): £140,000-£350,000
Period properties cost more. Victorian and Edwardian homes need specialist materials, conservation methods, and usually have hidden structural headaches. Expect 20-30% higher costs than a similar-sized 1980s house.
Location and Regional Price Variations
Your postcode makes a difference. London adds about 26% to your bill thanks to higher labour and transport costs.
Renovating a 3-bed to a basic spec averages £45,986 outside London, but jumps to £57,943 in the capital. Local labour rates and availability play a big part.
Regional Price Differences:
- London: £1,400-£2,800 per sq m
- South East: £1,200-£2,500 per sq m
- Midlands/North: £1,000-£2,000 per sq m
If you’re in a city with tricky access for skips or deliveries, budget an extra £1,500-£3,000. Rural spots might add travel costs if you’re far from suppliers.
Typical Renovation Specification Levels
Your specification level really sets the tone—and the cost. Basic cosmetic work starts at £1,000 per square metre, while high-end jobs can top £2,500 per square metre. Each level comes with its own materials, finishes, and trades.
Basic Renovation
Basic renovations stick to essential cosmetic upgrades, no big structural moves. You’ll get budget materials and standard fixtures.
You’ll usually get:
- White emulsion on walls and ceilings
- Laminate or basic vinyl flooring
- Off-the-shelf kitchens (think B&Q, Wickes)
- Standard bathroom suites with basic tiles
- Like-for-like electrics and plumbing
- MDF doors and basic ironmongery
- Simple storage
Cost range: £1,000-£1,400 per sq m
Perfect for investment properties or first-timers on a tight budget. You’ll make things clean and functional, but nothing fancy. Layout stays the same and materials are easy for trades to fit.
Mid-Range Renovation
Mid-range means you get better quality without going wild on price. You’ll see upgrades in materials and finishes, but it’s not luxury territory.
Expect:
- Branded paint in custom colours (Farrow & Ball, Little Greene)
- Engineered wood or quality vinyl floors
- Semi-bespoke kitchens with soft-close drawers
- Branded bathroom fixtures (Grohe, Hansgrohe)
- Full rewiring and feature lighting
- New skirting, architraves, and solid wood doors
- Built-in wardrobes and storage
- Some layout tweaks (non-structural)
Cost range: £1,500-£2,000 per sq m
Great for people living in the property who want durability and a bit of style. Kitchens and bathrooms especially feel the difference—fixtures last longer and work better.
High-End Renovation
High-end is where you go all out—premium materials, bespoke design, and top-notch craftsmanship. You’ll probably work with specialists.
You might get:
- Designer paints and specialist wall finishes
- Solid hardwood, natural stone, or top-tier tiles
- Handmade kitchens with integrated appliances
- Designer bathroom suites and underfloor heating
- Smart home tech and fancy lighting
- Restored period features
- Custom joinery and built-in furniture
- Structural changes and layout overhauls
- Architectural glazing and high-performance windows
Cost range: £2,000-£2,800+ per sq m
Ideal for period homes that need careful restoration or if you just want the best throughout. Architects and designers get involved, and trades spend more time on the details.
Stripping Out and Structural Works
The stripping out phase is about clearing the decks—removing fixtures and seeing what’s underneath. Structural work deals with the bones of your house. Set aside £5,000-£25,000 for this, depending on what you’re up against.
Demolition and Waste Removal
Stripping out means taking away anything you’re not keeping: old kitchens, bathrooms, carpets, wallpaper, dodgy plaster. Professional demolition runs £50-£150 per sq m, but you can save if you do some of it yourself.
Skip hire is a big waste cost. A 6-yard skip is £250-£400 and holds about a room’s worth. Most full house renos need 2-4 skips. You could also hire a grab lorry (£200-£350 per load) or a “man and van” service (£80-£150 per trip).
If your house was built before 1999, budget £200-£400 for an asbestos survey. If they find any, removal costs £1,500-£5,000 depending on how much and where it is. Don’t try to remove asbestos yourself or put it in a skip.
Structural Modifications and Repairs
Removing a wall costs £1,200-£3,000 per wall. That includes engineer calculations (£400-£800) and steel beams. If it’s load-bearing, you’ll need Building Control approval, which adds £500-£1,000.
Common structural work costs:
| Work Type | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Remove internal wall (non-load-bearing) | £800-£1,500 |
| Remove load-bearing wall with RSJ | £1,500-£3,000 |
| Underpin foundations | £1,500-£3,000 per metre |
| Replace rotten floor joists | £100-£200 per joist |
| Roof timber repairs | £1,000-£5,000 |
| Damp-proofing | £40-£80 per linear metre |
Structural engineers usually charge £500-£1,500 for calculations and drawings. You’ll need them before you start taking down walls or making big changes.
Addressing Structural Surprises
Stuff always pops up—especially in houses over 50 years old. Keep 15-20% of your budget aside just for those unexpected “surprises.”
Rotten joists under the floor? That’s £2,000-£8,000 to sort. Cracked lintels above doors? £500-£1,500 each. Subsidence needing underpinning can run £5,000-£15,000. Deteriorated roof timbers? £3,000-£10,000. Old wiring and plumbing often turn up too, and you’ll need to replace those before you can close things up.
Once you strip back walls and floors, you see the real story. Don’t spend your whole budget up front—keep that contingency handy. Honestly, it’s not if you’ll find something, but when and how much it’ll sting.
Core Systems Installation and Upgrades
Upgrading the core systems eats up 30-40% of your budget, but it’s where you really notice comfort and value. Plumbing and heating usually cost £5,000-£15,000. Electrical rewiring comes in at £3,000-£8,000, and insulation is £3,000-£12,000 depending on your house.
Plumbing and Heating System
A full plumbing overhaul costs £3,000-£8,000 for a typical three-bed. That covers new pipes, bathroom suites, and kitchen plumbing.
Heating is a bigger chunk. New gas boilers cost £2,500-£4,500 with radiators and controls. Heat pumps are pricier—£8,000-£12,000 before grants—but the Boiler Upgrade Scheme knocks £7,500 off, so you might pay £3,500-£7,500.
Labour is about half the plumbing cost. Gas Safe engineers charge £200-£300 a day, general plumbers £150-£250. Most heating installs take 3-5 days.
Electrical Rewiring
Full rewiring costs £3,000-£8,000, depending on size and complexity. A two-bed flat is £3,000-£4,500, while a four-bed house hits £5,000-£8,000. That covers the consumer unit, circuits, sockets, switches, and safety certification.
Rewiring takes 5-10 days. Electricians charge £200-£300 a day, or up to £400 in London. Your electrician sorts Building Regs through Part P certification.
You’ll need another £500-£1,200 for plastering and making good after rewiring.
Insulation and Energy Efficiency
Loft insulation costs £500-£1,500 for 270mm coverage. Cavity wall insulation is £1,500-£3,000. Solid wall insulation is much more—£8,000-£15,000 externally, or £5,000-£10,000 internally.
Your house type decides the best approach. Solid-walled Victorian and Edwardian homes need serious insulation to get up to modern standards. Cavity-walled homes (from the 1920s onwards) are cheaper to insulate.
ECO4 grants can cover insulation if you’re eligible. Even if you don’t qualify, loft and cavity wall insulation usually pay for themselves in 2-6 years with lower heating bills.
Rooms and Major Space Transformations
The biggest costs in a whole house renovation usually come from transforming the main living spaces. Kitchens often cost £8,000-£25,000, bathrooms range from £3,000-£12,000, and conversions can hit £20,000-£50,000, all depending on how complex things get.
Kitchen Renovation and Installation
A kitchen renovation is often your largest single-room investment. Basic kitchen installation with budget units, laminate worktops, and standard appliances runs £8,000-£12,000.
Mid-range projects with semi-custom units, composite worktops, and decent appliances come in at £15,000-£20,000. If you want high-end kitchens—think bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops, and premium appliances—you’re looking at £25,000-£40,000.
Kitchen renovation costs break down in a few ways. Units and worktops eat up about 35-40% of your budget, installation labour takes 20-25%, and appliances swallow 15-20%.
Tiles and flooring usually use 10-15%, while plumbing and electrical work take the last 10-15%. If you want to knock down walls for an open-plan space, add £1,500-£3,000 for structural work.
You’ll need building control approval and a structural engineer’s calculations. Most kitchen projects take 2-3 weeks once work kicks off.
Bathroom Renovation and Upgrades
Bathroom renovation costs swing a lot based on suite quality and room size. A basic refresh—budget suite, standard tiles, and vinyl flooring—costs £3,000-£5,000.
Mid-range bathrooms with quality fixtures, ceramic tiles, and proper ventilation run £6,000-£9,000. Luxury bathrooms with designer suites, natural stone tiles, and underfloor heating can reach £12,000-£20,000.
Moving plumbing adds a chunk of expense. Relocating a toilet costs £500-£800 extra, and moving a bath or shower adds £800-£1,200.
Most bathroom renovation projects stick with the existing layout to keep costs down. Ensuite installations usually cost £4,000-£8,000 if you’re carving out a small bathroom from bedroom space.
You’ll need proper ventilation, waterproofing, and building control approval. Standard bathroom work usually takes 1-2 weeks, but bigger reconfigurations can drag out to 3-4 weeks.
Loft and Garage Conversions
Loft conversion costs can range from £20,000-£50,000. Basic velux conversions (just roof windows) cost £20,000-£30,000.
Dormer conversions with extra headroom run £30,000-£45,000. Full hip-to-gable conversions get up to £40,000-£50,000.
A loft conversion covers structural work, stairs, insulation, electrics, plumbing (if you’re adding a bathroom), plastering, and decorating. Most projects take 6-8 weeks.
You’ll need building control approval and sometimes planning permission for dormers. Garage conversions cost less, usually £8,000-£15,000, since the structure already exists.
You’ll pay for insulation, plastering, electrics, heating, windows, and flooring. Converting to livable space needs building control approval, and the work typically takes 3-4 weeks.
Regulatory Approvals and Compliance
Whole house renovations almost always need several regulatory approvals, adding £2,000 to £10,000+ to your project. The exact costs depend on your property, its location, and how much structural work you plan.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Planning permission isn’t always needed for renovation work. You’ll need it if you’re changing your property’s external appearance, extending beyond permitted development rights, or working on a listed building.
Standard planning applications cost £206 for householder applications in England. Listed building consent is a separate application at £206.
Building regulations approval is mandatory for most structural, electrical, and plumbing work. You’ve got two main routes: full plans approval or building notice.
Full plans cost £250 to £550 for extensions, while building notices range from £450 to £800. Listed buildings usually need specialist input, which bumps up fees and timescales.
Conservation area properties get extra scrutiny. Your local authority can restrict materials, colours, and design elements.
These constraints add weeks to approval times and mean you’ll need more detailed submissions.
Professional and Project Management Fees
Structural engineers charge £100 to £200 per hour for building regulations drawings and calculations. For a typical whole house renovation, budget £800 to £2,500.
A project manager coordinates trades, manages timelines, and handles compliance. Professional fees usually run at 10% to 15% of your total build cost.
For a £100,000 renovation, expect to pay £10,000 to £15,000 for project management. Architects may charge 8% to 15% of construction costs for full services.
Their expertise helps you navigate tricky planning requirements and keeps your design compliant.
Building Control and Inspections
Building control inspections check that work meets current regulations. Your local authority building control charges £330 to £470 for most renovation projects.
You can also use private approved inspectors at similar rates. Inspections happen at key stages: foundations, drainage, structural work, and completion.
If they spend more than four hours on site, you’ll pay extra—usually £65 to £80 per hour. You only get a completion certificate when all work complies with building regs.
If you’ve finished work without proper consent, retrospective regularisation costs more than upfront approval. Regularisation applications come with higher building control fees and possible remedial work.
Hidden and Additional Costs to Consider
There are always extra costs beyond the main renovation expenses. These hidden costs can add 15-25% to your total budget.
Temporary accommodation, storage, and waste removal often catch people by surprise. A decent contingency fund helps protect you from structural surprises or things you just didn’t see coming.
Temporary Accommodation and Living Costs
If you’re renovating everything at once, you’ll need somewhere else to live. Temporary accommodation usually costs £3,000 to £8,000 for a 3-4 month renovation, depending on where you are and what you need.
Most people rent, but hotels or staying with family can work for shorter projects. Daily expenses go up without a working kitchen—expect £500-£1,500 extra on takeaways and eating out.
Other living costs add up fast. Gym memberships for shower access cost £30-£60 monthly if your bathrooms are out of action.
Launderette services add another £100-£200 per month. Pet boarding can reach £500-£1,000 for the whole renovation period.
Furniture storage costs £150-£300 monthly to keep your stuff safe from dust and damage.
Removals, Storage, and Skip Hire
Professional removals cost £300-£800 for a three-bedroom house, depending on distance and access. You’ll need this service twice—moving out and moving back in—unless you do it yourself.
Skip hire is essential for getting rid of waste. Each skip costs £250-£400, and most whole house renovations need 3-5 skips. That’s £750-£2,000 just for waste disposal.
Storage units cost £150-£300 monthly, and bigger homes might need more than one. For a four-month renovation, that adds up to £600-£1,200 in storage fees.
Contingency and Unforeseen Expenses
Set aside 15-20% of your total renovation cost as a contingency. For a £60,000 renovation, that’s £9,000-£12,000 for surprises.
Older properties (especially over 50 years old) almost always have hidden issues. Rotten joists, subsidence, or roof damage can cost £5,000-£20,000 to fix.
If your place was built before 1999, there’s a fair chance it contains asbestos in Artex ceilings or floor tiles. Professional removal costs £1,500-£5,000.
Building control and planning fees add £1,000-£3,000 for structural work, electrical installations, or new bathrooms. These include application fees and inspection visits.
Finance options can help you spread the cost if needed. A remortgage releases equity at 2-5% interest rates.
Home improvement loans offer £10,000-£50,000 at 4-10% interest, with faster approval and no property valuation required.
Finishing Touches and Final Decorating
This is the stage where your house finally feels like home. Decoration, fixtures, and external improvements usually eat up £8,000-£20,000 of your budget, depending on what you pick and the size of your place.
Interior Decoration and Painting
Professional painting and decorating costs £150-£250 per room for standard finishes. A full three-bedroom house typically needs £2,000-£4,000 for complete interior decoration, including materials and labour.
Standard painting costs:
| Work Type | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Ceiling painting | £150-£250 per room |
| Wall emulsion | £180-£300 per room |
| Woodwork (gloss/satin) | £120-£200 per room |
| Feature walls | £80-£150 extra |
Most surfaces need at least two coats. Paint materials alone for a three-bedroom house cost £400-£600.
If you want textured finishes, budget £15-£25 per m². Specialist paints for bathrooms and kitchens cost more.
Wallpaper installation adds £20-£40 per m² for labour, plus £15-£80 per roll for materials. A single feature wall runs £200-£500, depending on your wallpaper choice.
Fixtures, Fittings and Flooring
Door furniture, light fittings, and finishing materials can add £2,000-£6,000 to your project. Internal door handles cost £8-£40 per set.
Light fittings range from £20 for basic ceiling lights to £150+ for statement pieces.
Essential fittings budget:
- Door handles (6-8 doors): £150-£400
- Light fittings (8-12 rooms): £400-£1,800
- Curtain poles/blinds: £800-£2,500
- Bathroom accessories: £300-£800
- Kitchen finishing touches: £400-£1,200
Flooring finishes things off. Laminate comes in at £15-£35 per m², engineered wood £40-£80 per m², and carpet £20-£50 per m² fitted.
A three-bedroom house needs 60-80 m² of flooring across bedrooms and living spaces, totalling £1,800-£6,000. Skirting boards and architraves cost £8-£15 per metre installed.
Budget £800-£1,500 for a full house.
External Works and Curb Appeal
First impressions count, right? Front door replacement costs £600-£2,000 depending on the material and style.
Repainting external woodwork runs £800-£1,500 for a typical house. Garden landscaping varies a ton.
Basic turfing costs £8-£15 per m², and paving is £50-£100 per m² installed. A modest front garden improvement (15-20 m²) costs £1,000-£2,500.
Driveways are pricier. Gravel driveways cost £40-£60 per m², block paving £80-£120 per m², and resin-bound surfaces £50-£100 per m².
A standard driveway (30 m²) costs £2,400-£3,600. External lighting boosts security and looks at £80-£200 per fixture installed.
Budget £400-£1,000 for front pathway and door lighting. Boundary improvements like fencing cost £50-£100 per metre, and gates are £300-£1,200.
Funding Options and Budget Management
Getting your budget right and sorting out funding are must-dos before you start any whole house renovation. Most people need between £50,000 and £100,000 for a full renovation, so it’s worth knowing your options.
Calculating and Sticking to a Renovation Budget
Your renovation budget should include all work costs and a 15-20% contingency for surprises. Start by estimating £1,000-£2,500 per square metre for comprehensive work.
Break down your budget by room and task. List everything—from stripping out costs to final decorating.
Don’t forget hidden expenses like building control fees (£1,000-£3,000), temporary accommodation (£3,000-£8,000), and skips at £250-£400 each.
Get at least three detailed written quotes from tradespeople before you commit. MyBuilder and similar sites help you find local contractors and compare prices.
Always get a written contract that spells out exact costs and payment schedules. Track every penny during your renovation.
Keep receipts and run a simple spreadsheet of actual costs versus your budget. If you spot overspending early, you can tweak your plans for what’s left to do.
Financing Through Mortgages and Loans
A remortgage lets you release equity from your property to fund renovation work. You’ll need at least 20% equity left after release, and interest rates usually sit between 2-5%.
This spreads out your costs over your mortgage term. Renovation mortgages are tailored for major projects.
Lenders base their offer on your property’s value after renovations, not before. Funds get released in stages as different bits of work finish, with rates generally between 3-6%.
Home improvement loans are unsecured, so you don’t have to use your home as collateral. They usually range from £10,000 to £50,000, with interest rates from 4-10%, depending on your credit score.
Approval is faster than mortgages since there’s no need for property valuation. If you’ve got savings, paying cash gives you more negotiating power with contractors and avoids interest.
Even if you’re using loans or mortgages, it’s smart to keep at least 20% of your budget as a contingency.
Using Specialist Estimator Tools
Online renovation calculators give you quick cost estimates based on your property type and location. These tools break down expenses room by room, so you get a clearer picture of where the money goes.
Plug in your property’s size, age, and how deep you plan to renovate. Most calculators factor in regional price differences and current material costs for 2025.
Treat these estimator results as rough guides, not gospel. Always ask for detailed quotes from real contractors to check if the online numbers stack up.
Comparing calculator figures with actual quotes can highlight any big gaps. For big renovations over £75,000, hiring a project manager might be worth it.
Project managers typically charge 10-15% of your total budget. They coordinate trades, keep timelines on track, and sometimes save you money by buying materials in bulk.
For smaller jobs, detailed planning and regular site visits help you stay on top of things without needing a pro.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whole house renovations stir up loads of questions about costs, timelines, and planning. Most people want to know how much to budget for gutting a place, how property size changes things, and how much to set aside for surprises.
What are the typical costs associated with gutting and remodelling a house?
Gutting and remodelling a house usually costs between £50,000 and £100,000 for a standard 3-bedroom property in the UK. That covers stripping the interior, updating systems, and fitting new kitchens and bathrooms.
How much you spend depends on the scale of your work. A basic gut renovation with essential updates runs around £1,000 to £1,500 per square metre.
A mid-range remodel with better finishes pushes costs to £1,500 to £2,000 per square metre. Go high-end with premium materials and you’re looking at £2,000 to £2,500 per square metre or more.
Structural work bumps up the price. Removing walls means you’ll need a structural engineer and building control approval, which adds £1,000 to £3,000 in fees.
The actual structural changes cost anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000, depending on how much you’re doing.
How do budgetary requirements change with the size of the property undergoing renovation?
Property size has a big impact on your total renovation budget because of square metre costs. A 100 square metre house will set you back £120,000 to £280,000 for a full renovation, based on typical rates of £1,200 to £2,800 per square metre.
Smaller properties don’t always mean a smaller bill. A 50 square metre flat might cost £1,500 to £3,000 per square metre since fixed costs like kitchens and bathrooms eat up a bigger share of the budget.
Bigger homes do benefit from some economies of scale. For example, your plumber’s call-out fee is similar whether you’ve got one bathroom or three.
Still, larger properties cost more overall because there’s just more space to cover—more materials, more labour, more rooms needing attention.
What key factors influence the overall expense of refurbishing a home?
Property age really drives costs. Homes over 50 years old almost always have hidden issues like rotten joists or roof problems that aren’t obvious at first glance.
If your place was built before 1999, there’s a good chance it contains asbestos. Professional removal costs anywhere from £1,500 to £5,000.
Location matters too. Renovating in London costs about 26% more than in other parts of the UK.
A 3-bedroom renovation that costs £45,986 elsewhere might hit £62,138 in London. The depth of your renovation is a huge factor as well.
Cosmetic updates like painting and new floors run £30,000 to £50,000. Full renovations with new kitchens, bathrooms, and system upgrades are more like £50,000 to £100,000.
If you’re gutting the place and making structural changes, you could easily go over £150,000.
How much should I allocate for unforeseen costs during a home renovation project?
Set aside 15% to 20% of your total renovation cost for unexpected issues. That covers the hidden stuff lurking behind walls or under floors.
Hidden costs can add £19,000 to £58,000 to your base budget. Structural surprises alone run £5,000 to £20,000.
Don’t forget about building control and planning fees—they add another £1,000 to £3,000. One thing people often overlook: temporary accommodation.
If you have to move out for an all-at-once renovation, budget £3,000 to £8,000 for 3 to 4 months elsewhere. Storage for your stuff is another £150 to £300 a month.
In what ways can the choice of materials impact the total renovation budget?
Materials are where budgets really swing. Go budget, and you can redo a kitchen for £8,000 to £12,000.
Opt for premium materials and the same kitchen could hit £25,000 or more. Flooring choices matter too.
Basic carpet costs £15 to £30 per square metre installed. Engineered wood runs £40 to £80, while solid hardwood can reach £100 to £150 per square metre.
Bathrooms follow a similar pattern. A budget suite is £500 to £1,000. Mid-range fixtures cost £1,500 to £3,000, and designer brands can exceed £5,000 just for the suite.
All-in, your bathroom renovation could range from £4,000 for budget options to £15,000 if you want high-end finishes.
Can you outline the average cost for decorating a house post-renovation?
Hiring a professional decorator usually runs between £150 and £300 per room for basic painting. That covers prep, two coats of paint, and a bit of finishing.
If you’re looking at a full 3-bedroom house, expect to pay anywhere from £2,000 to £5,000 for the whole place. This includes all the walls, ceilings, and woodwork, plus some basic prep.
If you want top-notch work—think detailed prep and fancy paints—the price jumps up. You’re looking at £6,000 to £8,000 for that level of finish.
Finishing touches can really bump up your budget. Curtains or blinds for every window run about £100 to £300 each.
Light fittings aren’t cheap either, usually £30 to £200 a pop. Swapping out door handles and locks? That’ll be another £20 to £100 per door.
And don’t forget bathroom accessories. Those can add £200 to £500 per bathroom, depending on what you pick.
