Cost

How a quote is built.

What a first home costs depends on the flat and the scope of work. Rather than publish a figure that will not be yours, here is what sits in a quote, what moves it, and how we arrive at your number.

Essentials

For flats that need new storage and surfaces, not a new layout.

  • Built-in carpentry for kitchen and wardrobes
  • Tiling, painting and basic electrical
  • Light layout adjustments

For flats that need a new layout, not just new surfaces.

  • Everything in Essentials, expanded
  • Hacking, masonry and layout reworks
  • Fuller finishes across the home

What a quote covers.

    Kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, vanities and built-ins, priced by what gets made.

  • 03Electrical

    New points, lighting circuits and rewiring where the layout changes.

  • 04Painting

    Wall preparation and paint across the home, ceilings included.

  • 05Plumbing

    Supply and waste runs for the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry area.

  • 06Hacking & masonry

    Removing walls, building new ones, and the wet work that follows.

  • 07Project management

    Scheduling the trades and running the site: shown openly, never hidden inside another row.

Questions people ask before they enquire.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first conversation and the first proper consultation are both complimentary. You can ask about price, scope and timeline before committing to a site visit.

Why is there no price list on this page?

Because a published figure is almost never the figure you would pay. Cost turns on the flat, its condition and the scope you choose, so a headline number tends to mislead in one direction or the other. What we do commit to is an itemised quote you can read row by row, with nothing folded into a lump sum.

Can I get an idea of cost before a site visit?

Yes. Tell us the flat type and roughly what you want done, and we’ll talk you through the likely shape of the number, and what would move it, before anyone visits.

How is my real number reached?

The quote is built row by row from your flat and your scope. Where a row will not earn its place in your home, we say so.

What sits in an itemised quote?

Carpentry, tiling, electrical, painting, plumbing, hacking and masonry, and any layout changes. The project-management fee sits on its own row, shown openly.

Can the final figure change later?

Only if the scope changes: a room added, or a costlier finish chosen. The new row is shown to you before any work begins.

Send us your flat type and location, and we’ll build your quote line by line. The first consultation is complimentary.
