What is the difference between renovation and refurbishment?

Refurbishment usually means improving or updating existing features – like redecorating, replacing flooring, or modernising a bathroom.

Renovation often goes further, involving bigger changes such as altering layouts, knocking through walls, or restoring a property to its former condition.

How long does a full house refurbishment take?

Here are some average timescales to help plan for your refurbishment project:

• 2–6 weeks for light refurbishments – Like redecorating rooms, replacing flooring, or updating a bathroom without changing the layout
• 2–4 months for medium refurbishments – Like new kitchen or bathroom installations, re-plastering, rewiring
• 6–12 months for full refurbishments – Like whole-house projects involving layout changes, knocking through walls, adding extensions

Tip: Planning, ordering materials, and waiting for approvals can add extra time, so always build in some flexibility.

Speak directly to a refurbishment company to get a better steer on timescales and how much contingency time to add.

What happens during refurbishment?

A refurbishment can include a wide range of jobs, such as:

• Removing old fixtures and fittings
• Rewiring and updating plumbing
• Plastering and redecorating
• Installing new kitchens and bathrooms
• Laying new flooring and finishes

Depending on your project, it may also involve structural changes or layout alterations.

Do I need building regs for a refurbishment?

Not all refurbishment work needs building regulations approval. However, you may need building regs approval for:

• Structural changes (knocking down or altering walls)
• Fire safety measures
• Insulation or energy efficiency upgrades

Tip: Always check with your local authority before starting work.

Can I carry home refurbishments myself?

Cosmetic updates like painting, sanding floors, or fitting shelves are doable yourself if you’re confident with DIY and have the time.

However, larger refurbishment tasks – like rewiring, plumbing, or structural changes – should always be handled by a qualified tradesperson to make your home is safe and compliant.
