House renovations in Warwickshire

Before your renovation in Warwickshire

There's no planning application for internal work in Warwickshire, but Building Regulations still apply to structural changes, electrics, drainage and fire safety. We tell you at the survey which parts need approval or certification.

Fitting the kitchen and bathroom after plastering is finished protects them from damage and dust.
Listed buildings need consent from the district or borough council for your town for internal as well as external alterations.
Homes built or refurbished before 2000 should have textured coatings and old boards tested for asbestos before strip-out.

Options to consider in Warwickshire

Phased renovation

When budget or living arrangements don't allow everything at once, we plan the whole house first and then build in phases. Rewiring and any structural work usually come first, because they affect every room, while kitchens, bathrooms and decoration follow later without anything having to be undone.

Full refurbishment

Rewire, heating upgrade, re-plastering, a new kitchen and bathroom, new internal doors, skirting and floors. This is the usual scope for an older home that hasn't been updated in a long time. The trades are sequenced so the kitchen and bathroom go in after all the dusty, wet work is finished, which protects the new fittings.

Questions about house renovations in Warwickshire

Is VAT charged at 20% on renovation work?

Renovating an occupied home is normally standard-rated. Where VAT is charged, a house that has been empty for at least two years before work starts can qualify for the reduced 5% rate on qualifying work, with evidence such as a letter from the council confirming how long it's been empty. Your quote sets out exactly how VAT applies to your job.

How do I book a survey in Warwickshire?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your renovation and arrange a time to visit.

What happens if you find problems once walls are opened?

We stop, show you, and price the extra work in writing before doing it. Common finds in older homes include damp, rotten joists, old lead water pipes and wiring hidden behind plaster. Your quote is a fixed price for the agreed specification, and nothing outside it is added without your written agreement. We also point out at the survey anything we suspect but can't yet confirm.

Who approves house renovations in Warwickshire?

Not for planning — internal work isn't development unless the house is listed. Building Regulations approval is needed for structural work such as removing a load-bearing wall, through the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver.
