Property Refurbishment for Southwark Property

Georgian terraces in Camberwell, Bermondsey warehouse conversions and Peckham’s Victorian streets — flat refurbishments and leak reinstatement in one of London’s most varied housing stocks.

That housing stock shapes how we approach property refurbishment in Southwark: every property is surveyed against its own structure, services and lease before a price is fixed, never against a brochure photograph.

We work across Southwark — SE1, SE5, SE15 and SE16 — and the local demand speaks for itself: Flat Refurbishment, Leak Damage Repair, Property Refurbishment. One accountable team handles the programme from first survey to snagging and handover.

Full Property Refurbishment, One Contract

A London property refurbishment typically involves a dozen trades: strip-out crews, structural engineers, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, joiners, tilers and decorators. Coordinating them yourself is where budgets and timelines unravel. We bring all of those trades in-house or under our direct management, with one project manager as your single point of contact. Every project starts with a measured survey and a fixed, itemised quotation. You see exactly what each element costs per square metre before anyone lifts a tool. Variations are priced and agreed in writing before work proceeds, so the final account holds no surprises. We work across Central London daily — period conversions, mansion blocks, ex-local authority stock and new-build flats — and we understand the access rules, licence-to-alter requirements and parking permits each borough imposes.

What a London Refurbishment Costs in 2026

Honest budgeting matters more than a low headline figure. In 2026, a full renovation in London runs from roughly £800 to £3,500 per square metre depending on specification. A light refresh — decoration, flooring, minor electrics — sits around £800 to £1,200 per square metre. A mid-range refurbishment with a new kitchen, bathroom and rewiring typically lands between £1,200 and £1,800 per square metre. Premium work with bespoke joinery, stone and designer fittings starts around £2,000 to £2,800 per square metre and rises from there. Expect kitchens and bathrooms together to absorb 30 to 40 per cent of the total budget, and allow a 10 to 15 per cent contingency for what opens up behind old plaster. Inner London projects also carry a 15 to 25 per cent premium over outer boroughs for labour, access and logistics — we price this transparently rather than burying it in provisional sums.

Period Properties and Listed Buildings

Much of Central London’s housing stock is Victorian, Georgian or Edwardian, and a large share sits in conservation areas. Refurbishing these buildings well means respecting how they were built: lime plaster that breathes, timber sash windows that can be overhauled rather than replaced, and floor structures that need checking before modern bathrooms go in. Our surveyors specialise in period fabric. We identify load-bearing walls, assess joist condition and flag damp at survey stage, not mid-project. Where consent is needed — listed building consent, conservation area approval or a freeholder’s licence to alter — we prepare the drawings and specifications your application requires and sequence the programme around approval timescales. The result is a refurbishment that adds value without stripping out the character that made the property worth buying.

Project Management, Compliance and Handover

Every project runs to a written programme with weekly progress reports and photographic records. Our site managers handle building control notifications, structural calculations sign-off, electrical certification to BS 7671 and Gas Safe documentation, so the completion pack you receive supports any future sale or remortgage. We are fully insured with £5 million public liability cover, and all structural and waterproofing works carry our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Snagging is built into the programme as a formal stage, not an afterthought: we walk the property with you room by room, log every item, and return until the list is closed. For occupied buildings we plan noisy works around neighbours and managing agents’ hours, protect common parts, and leave the site clean at the end of every working day.
