Home renovations are a hugely popular way of creating a new living space in an old house. You may be comfortably settled where you are and not want to move home, but the state of your building leaves much to be desired. Alternatively, you may have just bought a doer upper, but it needs a lot of work before you can move in.
Some people who love DIY might roll up their sleeves and do their own house renovation project; others might opt to renovate the building one room at a time, moving from one room to the next and never quite feeling that it’s ‘home’. The main problem with both of these ways is that they’ll drag out the renovation process, probably for years.
When renovating a property, the best thing to do is hire contractors to do the entire project in one go. It’s like ripping off a plaster – it’s bound to be a painful process, but by doing it in one go and as quickly as possible, the less disruption you’ll have. This way you’ll be guaranteed to get your dream home sooner rather than later, and you’ll get help from a professional project manager who’ll make sure the work complies with all the building regulations and that you have the appropriate planning permission and consents.
Cost of renovating your home
It’s impossible to generalise how much a home renovation costs because no two renovation projects are the same. The total cost will depend on the scale of the project, the size of your existing house, the amount of structural work needed, how much new building work you would like, the quality of your chosen building materials etc.
We deal with high-end renovation projects which include luxury kitchens and award-winning bathrooms, which means the renovation budget for a bespoke project using the best quality materials and hand crafted units will be more than one that’s designed to save money for the homeowner.

We completely renovated the building, installing a new kitchen and utility room, two living rooms, four fitted bedrooms, three luxury bathrooms, and two small extensions. We rewired the electricity, installed a new central heating and hot water system, fitted new floors throughout and replastered the entire house.

“We are the proud owners of a stunning new bathroom courtesy of the brilliant team at Dobsons. From initial design to final installation, they provided a first-class service every step of the way. The installation team were all friendly, professional and polite, and they all worked to a very high standard. We received fantastic customer service from the whole team, nothing was too much trouble. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will definitely be using them for our next project.”
When you hire Dobsons as your home renovation contractor, you can trust our team to make sure that everything happens on time and within budget. Nothing is too much trouble. What’s more, you’ll be delighted with the result.
“Having used Dobsons in the past, they were my first, and only, choice for a new kitchen. As always, their attention to detail and understanding of their customer’s needs resulted in a great design for my new kitchen achieving everything I wanted. But it’s their customer service which is truly outstanding. I was at the stage of the project where I had a big empty room and the new kitchen was due to be delivered the next day when the country went into lockdown.
A lesser company would have downed tools at that point but not Dobsons. Kevin and Matthew ensured that I had the basics of a temporary sink, cooker and washing machine to keep me going and as soon as it was safe to do so they completed the work. I can’t praise Dobsons staff and the tradespeople they use highly enough. I now have the kitchen I always wanted and I’m delighted.”**
