How Much Does a Home Renovation Cost in London?

Planning a home renovation in London? Whether it’s updating a tired kitchen, opening up your living space, or transforming an entire property, one question comes up every time: how much is this going to cost?

It’s a fair concern. Renovation costs in the capital or anywhere else in the UK vary depending on location, property type, materials, and the quality of work. In this guide, we’ll break it down clearly — and share how our CRAFT approach helps ensure you get real value for every penny you spend.

What Are the Key Cost Factors?

Here’s what affects the overall cost of a renovation project in London:

• Where you live - A Victorian terrace in Fulham may need different structural considerations than a modern flat in Canary Wharf.

• Scope of work – Are you renovating a single room or the entire property?

• Level of finish – High-end materials, bespoke carpentry, and top-tier trades will cost more but last longer.

• Property access and condition – Is it a listed building? Are there structural issues or tight access?

• Labour rates – On average, in London, skilled trades can range from £250 to £400 or more per day, depending on experience.

Depending on the scope of the project, hiring an experienced team may be more expensive, but it is worth considering due to the skills required to install and coordinate all the different elements successfully. Doing the work yourself may reduce initial costs, but managing a renovation can be complex, and quality workmanship can save time, stress, and money in the long run.

Typical London Renovation Price Ranges

Here’s what you can expect for different types of projects:

Project Type	Starting From (£)
Minor kitchen update	£10,000 – £15,000
Full kitchen renovation with joinery	£25,000 – £40,000
Bathroom renovation	£8,000 – £20,000
2-bed flat full renovation	£60,000 – £90,000+
Family home full renovation	£100,000 – £250,000+

All prices include labour, materials, and project management. But your choices will influence the final figure.

Where the Money Goes: The Breakdown

• Labour – Typically 30–50% of your total cost

• Materials – Varies greatly depending on quality

• Design/Drawings – £2,000–£8,000 for planning and interior design

• Project Management – 10–15% of the total budget (and well worth it)
