Full house renovation in Fulham
Whole-house refurbishment of Victorian and Edwardian homes, managed end to end.
A full renovation of a Fulham terrace runs £1,500–£3,500 per square metre depending on specification, so a typical three-bedroom house is £150,000–£350,000 and takes five to nine months. The single biggest variable is not finish level — it is how much structural and services work hides behind the plaster.
Consider this if
- You have just bought and want everything done before moving in
- The house has not been touched since the 1980s
- Wiring, plumbing and heating all need replacing at once

- Damp, settlement or failed structural work needs resolving properly
- You want to open up the ground floor of a Victorian terrace

How much does it cost to renovate a house in Fulham?
Between £1,500 and £3,500 per square metre excluding VAT, which for a typical Fulham three-bedroom terrace of around 110m² means £150,000 to £350,000. A cosmetic refresh — decoration, flooring, minor changes — is far less, usually £30,000 to £60,000. The gap between those numbers is almost entirely about whether you are replacing services and moving structure, or just making it look better.
Read the full answerHow long does a full house renovation take?
Five to nine months for a whole Fulham terrace, assuming no planning delays. A realistic sequence is four to six weeks of strip-out and structural work, six to eight weeks of first fix, four weeks of plastering and drying, then eight to twelve weeks of second fix and finishing. Anyone promising a full renovation in twelve weeks is either not doing the services or has not seen the house.
Read the full answerDo I need to move out during a renovation?
For a whole-house renovation, yes — there will be periods with no water, no heating and no kitchen, and the dust from plaster and floor work gets everywhere. For a phased renovation where we work floor by floor, some clients stay. We are honest about which is realistic for your project at the quoting stage rather than after you have committed.
Read the full answerWhat is the most expensive part of a renovation?
Structural work and services, not the kitchen. Removing walls, underpinning, new steels, a full rewire and a new heating system typically account for 40 to 50 percent of a whole-house budget, and they are all invisible when finished. Kitchens and bathrooms feel expensive because you choose them from a showroom, but they are usually a smaller share than people expect.
