FAQs
House renovations: your questions answered
Where do I start with a full house renovation?
Start with the structure and services: roof, damp, electrics, plumbing and heating. Cosmetic work comes last. A site visit helps you set priorities and spot anything that needs doing first.
Can we live in the house during a renovation?
Sometimes, if the work is phased room by room. For a full strip-out with rewiring and replumbing, moving out for part of the job is often quicker, cleaner and cheaper overall.
How much contingency should I allow?
Older homes often hide surprises behind walls and under floors. Setting aside 10 to 15 percent of the budget is a sensible rule of thumb, and an itemised quote makes any changes easier to track.
