At Bigness Group, we deliver end-to-end full house renovations in London—from structural works and systems upgrades to new kitchens, bathrooms, and flawless finishes. Our process is built around clear budgeting, meticulous planning, and compliant execution so your refurbished home is beautiful, safe, and future-ready.
What a Full House Renovation Typically Involves
Stripping Out
Removing old fixtures, fittings, and (where required) non-load-bearing elements to create a clean slate.
Structural Work
Reinforcing or altering the structure—new openings/walls, steelwork, foundation repairs, or layout reconfiguration.
Systems Updates
Complete electrical rewiring, new plumbing (hot/cold, drainage, gas), heating upgrades (boiler, UFH), and ventilation.
Kitchen & Bathrooms
Design, supply, and fit of new kitchens and bathrooms—first fix, waterproofing, tiling, appliances/sanitaryware.
Finishing Touches
Plastering, decorating, new flooring, doors, architraves, lighting, and bespoke carpentry/joinery.
Exterior Improvements
New windows/doors, roofing and gutters, rendering, driveways, patios, and soft landscaping.
The Renovation Process
1) Budgeting & Finance
We help you set a realistic budget aligned to scope and priorities.
2) Professional Planning
Work with our designers/architects to finalise layouts, specs, and structural details.
3) Permissions & Compliance
We handle planning applications (if required), Building Regulations, and relevant certificates.
4) Procurement & Scheduling
Fixed programme with ordered lead times for materials, trades, and inspections.
5) Execution
Structural works, first fix (electrics/plumbing), second fix (kitchen/bathrooms), finishes, and snagging.
6) Handover & Aftercare
Clean site, building control sign-off, warranties, and guidance for ongoing maintenance.
Key Considerations
-
Budget: Costs vary by size, condition, structural scope, and specification. We provide itemised quotes and value-engineering options.
-
Timeframe: Typical full refurbishments run 3–6+ months depending on complexity and lead times.
-
Compliance: All electrical, plumbing, gas, and structural works meet current UK regulations with appropriate certification.
-
Live-in vs. Move-out: We can phase works, but for full renovations many clients choose temporary accommodation to reduce disruption.
-
Sustainability: We can incorporate insulation upgrades, efficient heating, low-VOC finishes, and responsible waste management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a full house refurbishment?
Not always. Many internal changes fall under Permitted Development. Structural alterations, extensions, or façade changes may require planning and Building Control. We’ll advise and manage this for you.
Can I live in the property during the renovation?
For light refurbishments, yes—with phased works. For full renovations, moving out is often more cost- and time-effective.
How long will my renovation take?
A typical full-house project takes 3–6 months depending on size, structure, and specification. Your programme will outline key milestones and inspections.
How do you keep projects on budget?
We provide a detailed scope, itemised pricing, and change-control. You’ll see costs and timelines before any variation proceeds.
Will I get certificates at the end?
Yes—electrical (Part P), gas (Gas Safe), and any structural sign-offs, plus manufacturer warranties where applicable.
