Property Refurbishments
A house refurbishment is the chance to reimagine a London home from the inside out, improving how it looks, how it works and how it lives. MVV delivers full home renovations across South West, West and South East London, including period-property and listed-building refurbishments, with considered design, precise construction and personal project management. We offer transparent budgets, realistic programmes and steady support from first concept to final touches.
What is a house refurbishment?
A refurbishment renovates an existing property to improve how it looks, how it functions and what it is worth. It can range from updating interiors to reworking the layout with structural changes that bring a tired home up to date.
The properties we refurbish
We refurbish a wide range of London properties, including family homes, period and listed buildings, and rental properties. Whether you need a single room reworked or a full-house renovation, we tailor the work to your home and your brief.
What a full refurbishment includes
A full home refurbishment typically covers structural changes, new electrics and plumbing, interior design, flooring, decoration and new fixtures and fittings. We coordinate every trade so the whole property is transformed as one coherent project.
How long a refurbishment takes
Timescales depend on scope. A modest renovation may take a few weeks, while a full-house refurbishment can run over several months. We confirm a detailed programme once we have assessed your property.
How much does a refurbishment cost in London?
On typical London jobs priced on our estimator in September 2026, all ex VAT: a whole house refurbishment with a new extension runs roughly £1,300 to £1,600 per square metre of all the floor worked on, at a standard specification. A whole house refurbishment of around 310 m² with a new 45 m² extension priced at around £575,000, roughly £1,600 per square metre across all 355 m², and a 130 m² house refurbished alongside a new 20 m² extension came to between £195,000 and £230,000 for the extension and refurbishment together. Separately, a full rewire of a large house of around 165 m² priced at around £40,000, the builder's work to refit an existing kitchen diner around £27,000, a family bathroom renewed in the same layout £16,000 to £16,500, converting a bathroom into a wet room around £15,500 and a new cloakroom WC around £6,000. These figures cover the building work: kitchen units, worktops and appliances are not included, and windows, doors, sanitaryware, tiles and wood flooring are priced for fitting only, with the products supplied by you. The spread is driven by condition and by how much of the services are renewed, not by decoration taste alone, which is why honest estimates carry a range. Figures are indicative.
Planning permission and listed buildings
Internal refurbishments rarely need planning permission, but significant changes, or any work to a listed building, may require listed-building consent or a licence to alter. We manage those approvals for you where they apply.
