Full House Refurbishment in London
Fusion Recon Renovations delivers full house refurbishment projects across London for homeowners, landlords and investors who want their property to feel coherent, modern and built to last. Instead of treating each room as a separate job, we look at the layout, structure, services and finishes of the whole home so that everything feels intentional from the front door through to the last bedroom.
If you are searching for a full house refurbishment near me in London, our team plans and manages the entire process, from strip-out and first fix to final decorating and snagging. Many clients first come to us for smaller upgrade work or residential renovations and then invite us back when they are ready to commit to a complete transformation of their house or flat.
What Does a Full House Refurbishment Include?
A whole-property refurbishment usually involves much more than simply changing a kitchen or bathroom. We coordinate design decisions, structural work, services, carpentry, tiling and decoration so that every trade is aligned and there is a clear sequence of works that protects your budget and timeline.
Structural Layout Changes & Wall Removal
Many full house refurbishments start by rethinking the layout: opening up small rooms, improving sightlines, or creating open-plan kitchen–living spaces that suit modern London living. Our structural alterations & wall removal service covers tasks such as knocking through load-bearing walls, inserting steels, adjusting door and window openings and coordinating with structural engineers and building control where required.
New Kitchens That Match the Rest of the Home
In most properties, the kitchen is the biggest single element of a full refurbishment, and getting it right sets the tone for the rest of the home. We design and deliver complete kitchen renovations that integrate with the wider scheme, aligning units, worktops, lighting and flooring with the look and feel of hallways, living rooms and dining areas. You can see this coordinated approach in our kitchen splashback renovation in Wimbledon SW19.
Bathrooms Designed for Everyday Use
When a property is being completely refurbished, it is the ideal time to upgrade all bathrooms and WCs so that plumbing, ventilation and tiling are consistent and future maintenance is easier. Our bathroom renovations service covers everything from compact cloakrooms to family bathrooms and en-suites, with careful attention to waterproofing, layouts, storage and lighting. A good example is our luxury marble bathroom renovation in Battersea SW11.
Plastering, Tiling & Finishes Throughout
A full house refurbishment often involves taking rooms back to brick or removing multiple layers of old finishes before rebuilding them properly. We handle plastering & skimming together with careful tiling and painting & decorating, so that every wall and ceiling is straight, smooth and ready for the decorative scheme you have in mind.
Full Refurbishment for Different Types of Properties
Every London property comes with its own challenges and opportunities. Whether you own a Victorian terrace, a period conversion or a contemporary flat in a managed block, we adapt our full house refurbishment service to respect the character of the building while upgrading it to modern standards.
London Family Homes & Period Properties
Older homes often need more than cosmetic work. We can help you improve insulation, lighting, storage and room layouts while preserving period details such as cornices, fireplaces and staircases. For many families, we become the trusted house renovation company near me they rely on whenever a new phase of work is needed, from loft conversions to reconfiguring ground-floor living space.
Flats, Maisonettes & Investment Properties
For landlords and investors, a full refurbishment is usually about balancing durability, tenant appeal and return on investment. We can phase works so that void periods are minimised and specifications are future-proofed. Our landlord refurbishment packages are designed to create robust, attractive interiors that photograph well and stand up to regular use without constant call-outs.
Mixed Residential, Rental & Commercial Buildings
Some projects involve shops, studios or offices on the ground floor with flats above, or live–work spaces that mix different uses in one building. Our commercial builders service supports these more complex refurbishments, coordinating access, sequencing and compliance so that residential areas and any commercial fit-out sit neatly together.
Coherent Design Across the Whole Property
Rather than upgrading one flat or shop at a time with different teams, we can plan a unified approach so that entrances, stairwells, common parts and private areas all feel like part of the same story. This is particularly valuable for freeholders and portfolio owners focused on long-term capital value.
Phased Programmes for Larger Assets
Where budgets or tenant agreements require a phased approach, we help you prioritise the areas that will make the biggest impact first – for example, key apartments, lobbies or shared facilities – and then build out a realistic programme for the rest of the building.
Managing Your Full House Refurbishment
A successful whole-house project is as much about organisation as it is about craft. We plan realistic timelines, create a clear order of works and coordinate trades so that jobs happen in the right sequence and there is less risk of damage or rework. Protecting finished areas, managing deliveries and keeping the site tidy are all built into our day-to-day approach.
Clear Communication Throughout
Throughout the refurbishment, we communicate clearly about progress, decisions and any issues that need your input – whether you live in the property, are temporarily elsewhere in London or are managing the project from overseas. Our aim is to give you the confidence that every part of the house is being refurbished to the same high standard, even when you cannot be on site every day.
Joining Up All the Trades
Because we handle structural work, kitchens, bathrooms, plastering, decorating and more under one roof, you are not left trying to coordinate multiple separate contractors. That joined-up approach reduces downtime, avoids clashes between trades and helps keep the project on schedule.

What is the typical cost range for a full house refurbishment in London?
The cost for a full house refurbishment varies significantly but typically starts from £1,000 to £2,000 per square metre (£/m²) for mid-to-high specification projects, excluding the cost of final fixtures (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring).
How is the total project cost broken down and presented in the quotation?
Our quotation is highly detailed, breaking costs down into four main categories: Demolition and Prep, First Fix (Structural, Plumbing, Electrics), Second Fix (Plastering, Tiling, Decorating), and Project Management Fees.
How do you manage potential cost overruns during the refurbishment?
We mitigate overruns through detailed planning and a contingency budget. Any potential variations (changes from the initial scope) are formally documented and approved by the client before work commences, ensuring full cost transparency.
What is the typical timeframe for a comprehensive full house refurbishment?
A full internal refurbishment of a 2-3 bedroom house usually takes between 3 to 6 months. This timeframe depends heavily on whether structural changes (e.g., knocking down walls) are involved, which require additional planning and sign-offs.

Will I have a dedicated Project Manager during the entire refurbishment?
Yes. We can act as the Project Manager for your entire internal refurbishment. You will have a dedicated contact who oversees all trades, manages scheduling, and provides regular updates throughout the project.
Does the refurbishment include structural alterations (e.g., removing walls)?
Yes, we undertake structural alterations, including wall removal, following professional steps. However, obtaining the necessary Building Control approvals for any structural work is the client's responsibility. We are happy to assist in locating relevant documentation or advising on the process.
Can you manage the installation of underfloor heating and smart home technology?
Absolutely. Our team includes certified electricians and plumbers proficient in installing modern systems, including wet and electric underfloor heating and comprehensive smart home wiring (e.g., smart lighting, security systems).
What guarantee do you provide on the overall refurbishment project?
We provide a 24-month (2-year) written warranty covering all workmanship, from structural modifications and first-fix installations (plumbing/electrics) to final decorative finishes.
Do you handle the final clean-up and disposal of all construction waste?
