Room renovations in Sandwich.

What a proper renovation involves

A room renovation on an older Sandwich-area property is rarely just cosmetic. Once a kitchen or bathroom is stripped back, it is common to find pipework, wiring or floor structure that needs addressing before anything new goes in. We plan for that possibility from the start rather than treating it as a surprise extra halfway through, and price the known scope clearly upfront.

Kitchens and bathrooms

The two rooms that see the most renovation work. A kitchen renovation typically means stripping back to the walls and floor, reworking plumbing and electrics for the new layout, and fitting units, worktops and flooring to a proper standard. A bathroom renovation follows the same pattern: full strip-out, waterproofing done properly before tiling, and fittings installed to last.

Living spaces and single-room work

Not every renovation is a wet room. Living rooms, home offices and bedrooms sometimes need structural attention too, an internal wall opened up, a chimney breast removed, a floor levelled, before the finishing work can start. We scope the structural side honestly rather than glossing over it to get to a lower headline number.

Typical cost and timeline

A single-room renovation typically runs £8,000 to £25,000 depending on the room, the extent of structural work, and the finish specified. A straightforward bathroom refit sits toward the lower end; a full kitchen renovation with structural changes toward the upper end. Timelines run from two to six weeks on site depending on scope, agreed with you before work starts.

Getting a quote

A site visit comes first, always. Photos and a description over WhatsApp are enough to get a conversation started and a rough sense of scale, but a proper fixed quote for a renovation needs someone to actually see the room.
