Flat Renovation in London – Apartment & Flat Refurbishment Specialists
Modernise your apartment with flat renovation services that account for lease conditions, shared building access and services particular to flats.
Specialist Flat Renovation Services
Renovating a flat is different to renovating a house. Where a lease applies, it may govern what can be altered and what consent a freeholder or managing agent requires, and the building itself — stairs, lifts, communal areas, other residents — shapes how the work is delivered.
Our team delivers layout improvements, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, flooring and full interior refurbishment for London flats, planned around these building-specific constraints from the outset.
Whether you're upgrading a period conversion, a purpose-built flat or preparing a property for sale or rental, we plan access, materials movement and working hours around your block, not just the flat itself.
- Access and logistics planned around your building, not just your flat
- Coordination with freeholders and managing agents where consent is needed
- Modern kitchen and bathroom upgrades within flat-specific service constraints
- Considerate working practices for occupied, shared buildings
- Acoustic floor build-ups specified to suit flats above occupied neighbours

Flat Renovation Costs in London
For full refurbishment through premium structural renovation, early budget guidance is approximately £1,300-£3,600+/m² including VAT. Formal quotations are elemental and scope-based.
Typical construction guidance: £1,300 – £3,600+/m² including VAT
Key factors affecting cost include:
- Size of the flat and number of rooms

Leasehold, Freeholders and Managing Agents
Where a lease applies to your flat, it may set out what you can and cannot alter without consent, and many leases require a licence to alter for anything beyond redecoration.
This is a lease question, not a construction one — we are not able to advise on the terms of your lease, and we always recommend checking with your solicitor or managing agent before committing to scope that affects layout, flooring, services or the building's structure.
Once you know what consent is needed, we can prepare the drawings and information your freeholder or managing agent typically asks for as part of that application.
Access and Material Movement
Flats rarely have direct vehicle access to the front door, so getting materials in and waste out is a bigger part of planning than it is for a house.
Where a block has stairs only, or a lift with limited dimensions, we plan deliveries, waste removal and skip or bag placement around what the building can actually accommodate.
- Lift dimensions and weight limits, where a lift serves the flat
- Stairwell width for bulky items such as bathroom suites and kitchen units
- Waste and skip logistics — many blocks require bagged waste rather than a skip on site
- Porter or concierge coordination for deliveries, where the building has one
Working Hours and Building Restrictions
Many blocks and managing agents set permitted working hours for noisy trades, often tighter than typical construction hours, and some restrict certain works on weekends.
We confirm these restrictions with you and the managing agent before the programme is set, so the build sequence respects the building's rules from day one.
Neighbours and Shared Areas
Renovation work in an occupied block affects the people living around you, particularly where walls, floors or ceilings are shared with neighbouring flats.
We protect common parts — lobbies, stairwells, lift interiors — for the duration of the works, and keep noise, dust and disruption to immediate neighbours as low as practically possible.
Services in a Flat
Flats have constraints a house does not: the position of the soil stack usually limits where a bathroom or kitchen sink can move to, communal heating systems may limit what changes are possible, and the electrical supply to the flat has a fixed capacity.
Between dwellings, acoustic floor build-ups are often specified by the lease or the building's original design, and many blocks require these to be maintained or improved where flooring is replaced.
- Soil stack and wet-area positions, which constrain kitchen and bathroom relocation
- Communal heating and hot water systems, where the block is served centrally
- Electrical supply capacity to the flat
- Acoustic floor build-up requirements between dwellings
Renovating in an Occupied Block
Unlike a standalone house, a flat renovation happens inside a shared building that other residents continue to use throughout.
We plan the sequence, deliveries and site conduct with that in mind — clear communication with your managing agent, considerate working hours, and protection of the areas everyone else relies on.
