What Does a Refurbishment Company Do?

Property refurbishment generally involves improving or modernising an existing building.

A refurbishment company may provide:

Complete house refurbishment
Flat refurbishment
Kitchen renovation
Bathroom renovation
Plumbing
Rewiring and electrical upgrades
Plastering
Joinery
Flooring
Painting and decorating
Doors and windows
Structural alterations
Property repairs
Rental-property refurbishment

Current Manchester listings identify kitchen and bathroom renovation, flooring, plastering and painting, plumbing and electrical updates, and garage or loft conversions among commonly requested refurbishment projects.

Complete House Refurbishment

A full house refurbishment can involve stripping a property back before systematically rebuilding and finishing it.

A typical programme might follow:

Survey → Strip-Out → Structural Work → First-Fix Plumbing & Electrics → Plastering → Kitchen & Bathroom Installation → Joinery → Flooring → Decorating → Second Fix → Snagging

Using one main refurbishment contractor can simplify coordination compared with independently booking every trade.

Flat Refurbishment

Flat renovations require careful planning, particularly in apartment blocks.

A refurbishment can include:

New kitchen
Bathroom replacement
Flooring
Decorating
Lighting
Electrical work
Plumbing
Storage and joinery
Doors
General repairs

Leaseholders should establish whether freeholder or managing-agent consent is required before undertaking alterations. Working-hour restrictions, communal-area protection and waste-removal arrangements can also affect the programme.

Kitchen Refurbishment

A kitchen refurbishment can range from replacing doors and worktops to completely redesigning the room.

Work may involve:

Kitchen removal
New units
Worktops
Plumbing
Electrical work
Appliances
Splashbacks
Flooring
Lighting
Decorating

Current Manchester market guidance puts kitchen refurbishment at approximately £4,935–£11,268, with an average around £7,490. These are indicative market figures rather than quotations, and specification can move the final price substantially higher.

Bathroom Refurbishment

Bathroom projects can include:

Strip-out
New toilet
Basin and vanity
Bath
Walk-in shower
Waterproofing
Tiling
Plumbing
Extractor fan
Lighting
Heated towel rail
Decorating

Bathrooms require particularly careful coordination between plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing and tiling.

Rental Property Refurbishment

Landlords frequently need refurbishment work between tenancies or after acquiring an investment property.

Common projects include:

Decorating
Flooring replacement
Kitchen upgrades
Bathroom refurbishment
Plumbing repairs
Electrical work
Joinery
Doors and locks
General maintenance
Deep cleaning

For rental properties, the specification should generally prioritise durability, maintainability and suitability for the target tenant rather than unnecessarily expensive finishes.

Refurbishment for Property Investors

Investors should assess refurbishment against the complete financial position of the project.

Consider:

Purchase Price + Refurbishment + Professional Fees + Finance + Holding Costs + Contingency = Total Investment

The refurbishment specification should then be compared with expected rent, resale value and the local property market.

Spending heavily on finishes that do not materially improve rental or resale performance can reduce returns.

Refurbishment vs Renovation

The terms are frequently used interchangeably, although there can be a practical distinction.

Refurbishment often means improving, repairing and updating an existing property.

Renovation can describe more extensive work, potentially including major alterations or restoration.

Checkatrade similarly describes refurbishment as updating or improving what is already present, while renovation can involve larger structural changes or restoration.

How Much Does Property Refurbishment Cost?

There is no useful single price for every refurbishment because the scope varies enormously.

Current Manchester market data puts general refurbishment at approximately £3,711–£10,849, averaging £6,353.

That benchmark should not be confused with the cost of completely renovating an entire house. A full property renovation involving rewiring, heating, windows, plastering, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and structural work can run into many tens of thousands of pounds.

What Affects Refurbishment Cost?

The main factors include:

Property size
Existing condition
Structural alterations
Plumbing requirements
Electrical work
Kitchen specification
Bathroom specification
Flooring
Joinery
Quality of finishes
Access
Waste disposal
Location

Older properties can also reveal defects after strip-out that were impossible to assess fully beforehand.

Allow a Contingency

For significant refurbishment projects, keeping a contingency is sensible.

Unexpected issues can include:

Rotten timber
Damaged floorboards
Old pipework
Defective wiring
Damp
Hidden leaks
Cracked plaster
Drainage problems
Previous poor-quality alterations

A detailed pre-construction survey can reduce uncertainty but cannot necessarily identify every concealed defect.

Refurbishment Project Management

A refurbishment company may act as the principal point of contact for several trades.

This can include coordinating:

Builders
Electricians
Plumbers
Heating engineers
Plasterers
Carpenters
Tilers
Flooring installers
Painters and decorators

Good sequencing is essential. For example, installing expensive flooring before major plumbing or plastering work has finished creates unnecessary risk.
