Honest guide figures

No vague answers about money

Nobody likes vague answers about money, so on this page we set out honest guide figures to help you plan. Every home and every wish list is different, which is why the only truly accurate price is a proper written estimate after we have seen your property. Still, understanding the typical ranges makes it far easier to budget with confidence and avoid nasty surprises later.

Whole-house renovation

What does a whole-house renovation cost?

As a rough guide only, a whole-house renovation tends to fall in the region of £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre. A lighter refresh, mostly redecoration, flooring and updating fittings, sits toward the lower end. A thorough renovation involving rewiring, replumbing, replastering, new kitchens and bathrooms and layout changes sits toward the higher end. To put that in context, for a home of around 90 square metres you would be looking at a broad guide range of roughly £135,000 to £225,000 for a full, high-specification renovation. Your actual figure could be lower for a lighter scope. This is a planning guide, not a quote.

Guide ranges for North London, 2026 - not fixed quotes. Kitchen and bathroom prices depend heavily on the units, tiles, appliances and fittings you choose, so we price those individually. We quote every project after a free home visit and put the final figure in writing before any work begins.

Cost drivers

What affects the price of a renovation?

Several things move the final figure, and knowing them helps you plan. The main drivers are the size of the property, how much structural work is involved, the level of finish and the quality of materials you choose, the condition of the existing home, and how much the layout is changing. Older homes can also throw up hidden issues such as old wiring or damp. We always assess these honestly up front so your estimate reflects the real job, not an optimistic one.

Kitchens & bathrooms

How much does a kitchen or bathroom cost?

Kitchens and bathrooms are often the first rooms people renovate, and they make a big difference. As a guide, a new kitchen usually takes around 2 to 3 weeks to fit, and a bathroom refit around 1 to 2 weeks. The cost depends heavily on the units, tiles, appliances and fittings you choose, which is why we price these individually after understanding your taste and budget. You can read more on our kitchens and bathrooms pages.

Clear pricing

How do you keep costs clear and fair?

We believe a quote should be something you can actually understand. Marian prepares every estimate and sets it out plainly, line by line, so you can see exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden fees. If your plans or the property mean something needs to change once work is under way, we stop, explain it and agree it with you before going ahead. That way there are no shocks when the final invoice arrives.

Renovation cost questions

Good to know.

How much does a whole-house renovation cost?

As a rough guide only, a whole-house renovation in North London works out at around £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre, depending on the size of the home and the level of finish. A lighter refresh sits toward the lower end, and a thorough, high-specification renovation toward the higher end. For an accurate figure we will visit your home for free and give you a clear written estimate.

Is your estimate free, and is it binding?

Yes, every estimate is completely free and comes with no obligation to proceed. We visit your home, discuss what you want and set out a clear written quote. If you decide to go ahead, that quote is the basis for the work. If anything needs to change later because of your choices or the property, we agree it with you first, so you always stay in control of the cost.

Why is a per square metre figure only a guide?

Because no two homes or projects are the same. A per square metre figure is useful for early budgeting, but the real cost depends on the condition of the property, how much structural work is needed, the finish and materials you choose, and any hidden issues in an older home. That is why we always follow up a guide figure with a proper site visit and a tailored written estimate.

Can you work to my budget?

Very often, yes. If you tell us your budget up front, we can advise on the scope, finishes and priorities that make the most of it. Sometimes that means phasing the work or choosing materials cleverly to get the look you want for less. We would always rather have an honest conversation about budget early than design something that turns out to be beyond it.
