Renovating my house - advice

[vbrown38]

Hi all, myself and the DP have just brought our first home. The house is in desperate need of some TLC. My plan is to tear out the whole house and start again. We have a budget for this but I am not sure how much it will cost. We need to do the following

Lay new carpet across three floors
Put in one new bathroom, one ensuite and one WC
Install a new kitchen
Paint all walls

There are other bits to do but this is the main starting point

Can anyone offer any advice or estimate how much you think that would cost? I'm hoping my budget it correct!

Where in the country are you because this will affect labour costs.

I live in the South East but not London and I'd budget £20-25k for all that with a mid-range kitchen.

It's a bit of how long is a piece of string because it depends on where you are (cost of labour), what you want (low, mid or top end), and what else you find when doing the things you want to (there are always issues to be uncovered!). I'd say PP is right though and around £20 - £25k?

Do carpets very very last.

I would like to go for mid range, even though its proving I have expensive taste ;)

I live in Kent and was budgeting around that so thats perfect.

If anyone has any other advice it would be welcomed :)

I think that it will be more.

We are renovating and looking at mid range everything. Without fitting I would say

£3-5k for carpets and wooden floors such as Quickstep which is a good laminate. Fitting on a good laminate is about £8-10 per m squared, not sure about carpet fitting, I haven't got as far as that.

£12-15k for a kitchen depending on the size if you're including all appliances and going for something like Neff and for Quartz or similar kind of worktops.

£1.5k for a shower room excluding tiles, £1800 for a bathroom and £800 for a WC add tiles on top = £4100. I'm struggling to get our shower room in on £1500

Full painting of house including stripping any wall paper and all woodwork £7k at least if done by someone professional. Obviously depends on size of house and state of walls

So, I think that you're looking at about £25k plus labour costs. Fitting a kitchen will be £2k at least
I think you'd need about £3-4k for someone to fit 3 bathrooms
Tiles can cost as much or as little as you like but fully tiled bathroom / shower rooms you'll have little change from £750 - £1000 and that's not high end

I think you're looking more like £30 -35k if you have someone to do it all for you.
