Confirm the demise, tenure and decision-maker before design

A flat renovation begins with ownership boundaries. The lease or title plan may distinguish the internal demise from windows, structure, floor build-ups, risers, external walls and communal services. Provide the lease, building handbook and managing-agent contact where held, and identify the client authorised to instruct the work. A room may look private while the element behind it remains controlled by the freeholder. The initial scope should record what is known, what needs clarification and which proposed changes depend on landlord consent; it should not infer alteration rights from the fact that another flat has been refurbished.

Turn the flat brief into a room and interface schedule

List each room, the existing condition, the proposed outcome and every element to retain or change. Mark kitchens, bathrooms, heating, ventilation, electrical work, joinery, floors, ceilings and any wall alteration. Then identify interfaces with common parts, neighbouring flats, shared drainage, risers and fire-resisting construction. A decoration-only refresh and a services-led reconfiguration need different surveys and design information. The schedule should state which items are client-supplied, which selections remain open and which defects require investigation before a fixed construction scope can be compared.

Protect structure, fire separation and acoustic performance

Removing a wall, cutting a floor, moving a wet room or altering a service penetration can affect more than the visible room. Structural load paths, compartmentation, fire stopping, escape arrangements and acoustic build-ups may require professional design or evidence. Floor finishes can be restricted by the lease even where no structural change is intended. The accepted drawings should show openings, penetrations and relevant junctions, while contractor methods should include protection and reinstatement. A flat-renovation appointment must not treat an unseen ceiling, wall or floor as safe to alter without the information appropriate to that task.

Map planning and Building Regulations responsibilities separately

Purely internal decorative work may not need planning permission, but external changes, listed buildings and changes of use can follow different routes. Building Regulations can apply to structure, fire safety, ventilation, drainage, thermal work and fixed services regardless of whether planning permission is required. The dutyholder and application route should be identified for the actual project. Freeholder approval does not replace statutory approval, and statutory approval does not grant a right under the lease. The written responsibility schedule should name each required submission, design input, inspection and final document without assuming that one consultant owns them all.

Plan communal access, protection and neighbour constraints

Porter hours, lift dimensions, stair protection, loading, parking, waste routes and noisy-work periods can control the build sequence. Record how keys are managed, which common areas require condition photographs and whether deliveries need booking. Dust and water migration are especially important around occupied neighbouring flats. The method should state where materials and tools may be stored and how an isolation or leak would be handled. These are building-specific facts, not promises attached to an area name, and the programme should remain provisional until the managing party’s current requirements and practical access have been confirmed.

Make the quote follow drawings, schedules and allowances

A comparable flat-renovation quote should refer to the current plan, room schedule and specification. It should separate strip-out, protection, building work, services, kitchens or bathrooms, joinery, finishes, waste and making good, and identify professional fees or client purchases that sit elsewhere. Unknown substrate, concealed services or licence conditions may need a provisional basis rather than false certainty. Variations should record the changed drawing or item, reason, price basis and programme effect before extra work proceeds where practicable. A single cost per square metre cannot explain these interfaces.

Close with building-specific evidence and responsibilities

Handover should align with the lease, accepted scope and statutory route. The package may include landlord correspondence, approved drawings, inspection or completion records, electrical or gas documents where relevant, product information, finish schedules, keys, commissioning notes and photographs of selected concealed work. Communal damage records and protection deposits should follow the managing party’s process. The snag list should identify responsibility and access for each item. A construction handover does not settle obligations that remain with the client, freeholder, authority or separately appointed professional, so those open items should be listed plainly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a flat renovation brief?▼
Use the online form or call 020 7101 3168. Include the postcode, a clear description of the issue or project, photographs where helpful, and access notes. Submission starts a review — it is not a confirmed booking.
Where do you accept flat renovation briefs?▼
You may submit for Hampstead, North West London and wider premium London postcodes. Dedicated pages currently focus on neighbourhoods such as Hampstead, Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, St John's Wood and West Hampstead, with other postcodes reviewed case by case. Coverage and timing are confirmed after the location and scope have been reviewed — not solely because an area page exists.
Is Flat Renovation delivered by third-party traders?▼
No. Accepted work is routed to Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance. We confirm the competence and any job-specific registration or insurance for the accepted scope before work starts.
How is flat renovation pricing confirmed?▼
Pricing depends on access, fabric condition, materials, programme and any approvals needed. Where we can quote, the written document states inclusions, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms. Smaller completed jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; larger works use the deposit and final terms in the accepted quote.
Do I always need a site visit for flat renovation?▼
Not always. Clear photographs and a written description can be enough for straightforward scopes. Complex fabric, structural openings, concealed services or unclear access usually need a visit before a safe price basis can be written.
What flat renovation themes do people commonly brief?▼
Common themes include Flat Renovation, Flat Refurbishment, Apartment Renovation, Apartment Refurbishment, Leasehold Renovation. Suitability still depends on the individual property, access and the written scope we can accept after review. These tags are a guide, not a fixed menu or price list.
What freeholder or building access notes help for a flat renovation brief?▼
For flats and mansion blocks, attach any licence-to-alter, working-hours note, riser plan or managing-agent rules you already hold. Lift size, porter rules and communal corridor protection often affect how flat renovation attendance is programmed. Freeholder approval is never invented from a neighbourhood page alone — those facts come from the property documents and the accepted written scope.
Does a flat renovation brief always need Building Control?▼
Not always. Whether approval or a competent-person route is needed depends on the defined work and property. Openings, structural alterations, drainage changes and certain electrical or heating works are more likely to need one of those routes. We flag known compliance questions in triage. A service hub does not predict a notification outcome from a neighbourhood page. Attach any existing notice or completion certificate you hold.
Can I submit a flat renovation brief in London?▼
Yes. Send the postcode and job details for review. Submission is not a booking; we confirm whether the brief fits, current availability and the next step.
How is flat renovation work priced?▼
The price depends on the accepted scope, access, timing, materials and any assessment required. We confirm a written quote or other agreed price basis before planned work starts.
Do I need freeholder consent to renovate my flat in London?▼
Most leases require notice and freeholder or managing-agent consent before structural works, wet-room moves or major services changes. Attach any licence-to-alter notes you hold; we record known constraints in triage for London rather than inventing approval from the postcode alone.
How much does a flat renovation cost in London?▼
Cost depends on unit size, whether kitchens and bathrooms are relocated, services condition, specification and building access rules. Market values near the area are context only — pricing follows the accepted written scope for the flat, not a district rate card.
Can you renovate a mansion-block or converted flat in London?▼
Yes. Converted period floors and purpose-built blocks need different access, waste and riser planning. We confirm floor level, lift size, working hours and neighbour interfaces before strip-out is programmed in London.
What is included in a typical flat refurbishment in London?▼
Packages range from decoration and flooring refresh to kitchen, bathroom, partial rewire and full fit-out. Each quote itemises inclusions, exclusions and assumptions so a light buy-to-let refresh is not confused with a services-led renovation.
