Our founding partner for kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and full refurbishments across Chelsea and south-west London.

WHAT WE COVER

Six Renovation Categories

We specialise in renovation projects, not general building work. Every builder on our network covers at least one of these categories.

Kitchen Renovation

Full kitchen refits, open-plan conversions, bespoke cabinetry and kitchen extensions. Most London kitchen renovations cost between £12,000 and £60,000 depending on specification and borough.

Bathroom Renovation

Full bathroom refits, en-suites, wet rooms and accessible bathrooms, supply-and-fit or fit-only. London bathrooms typically run from £5,000 for a small budget refit to £25,000 or more for a designer wet room.

House Extension

Single-storey rear, side return, wraparound, double-storey and basement extensions. In London, extensions range from around £60,000 for a small single-storey rear extension to £380,000 or more for a large wraparound.

Loft Conversion

Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions, including planning drawings, structural engineering and full fit-out. London loft conversions start at around £25,000 for a basic Velux and reach £120,000 or more for a full mansard.

Full Refurbishment

Whole-house renovations, period property restoration, full rewires and replumbs, and structural reconfiguration. A light refurbishment of a two-bed flat starts around £45,000; a structural refurbishment of a four-bed house can pass £200,000.

Flooring

Engineered wood, LVT, herringbone, porcelain tiles and carpet, plus floor sanding and restoration. Supply-and-fit prices in London run from about £25/m² for carpet to £220/m² or more for solid hardwood and stone.

Why compare renovation quotes in London through a specialist?

General trades platforms put a £60,000 loft conversion through the same system as a £150 flat-pack assembly. Builders pay for every lead whatever its size, and homeowners end up with quotes from generalists who have never managed a structural project. Renovation needs a different approach.

  • Renovation specialists only. We match you with firms that run renovation-scale projects: structural work, planning, several trades over weeks or months. We don’t send handymen.
  • Matched, not broadcast. Your brief goes only to builders who fit your project type, borough and timing. It isn’t sold to everyone who will pay for it.
  • Budget-briefed from the start. Our cost guides show you realistic London prices before you submit, so builders take your enquiry seriously and quotes land closer to what you expect.
  • No cold-call frenzy. You hear from up to three builders, not a dozen strangers within the hour.
  • Free, with no obligation. You don’t pay to use the service, and you don’t have to accept any quote.

How are London renovation builders vetted?

Every builder is checked before they can quote on QuoteMyRenovation, and the checks are aimed at renovation work rather than small jobs. We look at:

Public liability insurance appropriate to renovation-scale projects
Company registration and trading history
References and photos from completed renovation projects of the type they quote on
Relevant trade registrations where the work requires them, such as Gas Safe for kitchens and boilers and NICEIC or NAPIT for electrical work
Capacity, so they can take on your project when you want to start

What should a London renovation quote include?

A good quote is itemised so you can compare like with like. Each quote you receive through QuoteMyRenovation should show:

  • A breakdown by stage: strip-out, structural work, first fix, plastering, second fix and finishes
  • What’s included and what isn’t: materials, kitchen units, sanitaryware, skips, parking suspension and waste removal
  • Professional fees, if any: architect, structural engineer, party wall surveyor, building control
  • Start date, programme length and the payment schedule tied to stages
  • Insurance details and any workmanship guarantee

If two quotes differ by more than 20–30%, the cause is usually scope rather than price. Ask both builders to quote against the same specification before you decide.

How much does a renovation cost in London?

London renovation prices run well above the UK average because of higher labour rates, tight sites, parking and skip permits, and the extra work period properties need. These are typical 2026 ranges from our cost guides:

Typical 2026 London prices from QuoteMyRenovation cost guides. Your borough, property age and specification will move these figures.
Project Typical London cost (2026) Cost guide
Kitchen renovation £12,000 – £60,000 Kitchen renovation cost London
Bathroom renovation £5,000 – £25,000+ Bathroom renovation cost London
House extension £60,000 – £380,000+ House extension cost London
Loft conversion £25,000 – £120,000+ Loft conversion cost London
Full house refurbishment £45,000 – £350,000+ Full house refurbishment cost London
Flooring (supply and fit) £25 – £220+ per m² Flooring cost London

Renovation quotes across London's boroughs

Each borough has its own planning rules, conservation areas and housing stock, and they all affect what you can build and what it costs. Our area guides cover the local detail:

Homeowners on QuoteMyRenovation have already seen realistic London cost benchmarks, so you spend your time quoting real projects, not chasing time-wasters. There are no bidding wars and no paying for leads that were never yours to win.

What to sort out before you get renovation quotes

A few checks before you request quotes will make them more accurate and save weeks later:

Planning permission or permitted development. Many rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, but flats, conservation areas and Article 4 directions change that. Much of central and west London is covered by conservation areas.
Building regulations. Structural, electrical, drainage and fire-safety work needs building control sign-off whether or not you need planning permission.
Party wall agreements. Work on or near a shared wall in a terrace or semi usually needs notice served on your neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
A realistic budget. Allow a 10–15% contingency on top of the quoted price, more for period properties.
