What Richmond homeowners ask us.
How much does a house renovation cost in Richmond in 2026?

Do I need planning permission for a Richmond renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Richmond Hill, Richmond Green and Richmond Town conservation areas cover most of central Richmond. Many properties are listed. If you're in a conservation area or your property is listed, listed-building consent may be needed for layout changes, sash-window replacement or chimney works. We check the specific address before quoting.
What's the typical Richmond housing stock for refurbishments?
Georgian and Victorian houses on Richmond Hill and around the green, Edwardian terraces and semis on the slopes below. On this kind of housing in TW9, whole-house refurbishments most commonly involve new layout (often opening up the ground floor), full rewire, new heating, new kitchen and bathrooms, and finishes throughout. Period restoration is more common on listed properties and conservation-area frontages.
How long does a Richmond renovation take?
Allow 4–10 weeks for design and procurement, then 6–10 weeks on site for a kitchen, 3–5 weeks for a bathroom, 4–8 months for a whole-house refurb, and 8–14 months for period restoration. LB Richmond upon Thames processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Richmond renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Richmond clients rent locally for 3–6 months during the works. We coordinate the programme with break clauses so you're not paying double rent at the end.
