— Pricing · South London
Honest pricing for South London renovations.
Realistic budget ranges from two decades of South London projects — kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, full-house refurbishments, and everything in between.
Every range below is based on actual projects we’ve delivered across Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Dulwich, Chelsea, Kensington, Richmond, Beckenham, Bromley, Banstead, Croydon and surrounding South London boroughs. Final prices depend on size, finishes, structural work and the condition of the existing property. Site visit and detailed fixed-price quote within 48 hours, free of charge.
— Key factors
What affects your final price.
Four factors drive the range you’ll see in any honest quote. We’re transparent about each one before work starts.
Location
Inner London postcodes (Chelsea, Kensington) typically run 10-20% above outer boroughs (Banstead, Bromley) due to access, parking and waste removal.
Material specification
Mid-range vs premium can double the budget of a single room. We price the same room three ways so you see exactly what each level buys you.
Hidden conditions
Period properties often hide damp, lead pipes, lath-and-plaster, old wiring or rotten joists. We build a sensible contingency into every quote and flag findings before proceeding.
Regulations & approvals
Planning, Building Regs, Party Wall, conservation area consent, Article 4 directions — all checked early. We work with trusted architects or alongside yours.
— Three tiers
How we tier every project.
Most categories below are priced in three tiers. Same scope of work, different specification levels. We’ll quote the same room across all three so you can see exactly what each tier delivers.

Mid-range finishes, existing layouts retained, quality materials. Good for buy-to-let landlords, growing families, and flats where the bones are right.
Standard
Family home upgrade
Bespoke joinery, premium materials, structural alterations possible, integrated lighting and finishes throughout. The most common South London family specification.
Luxury
Premium specification
Premium German or British cabinetry, marble surfaces, period restoration, smart home integration, bespoke joinery throughout. Common in Chelsea, Kensington, Richmond and Wimbledon Village.
