Straight, practical advice on extensions, renovations and building work from a Croydon builder.
Most people searching for renovation costs want one number, and the honest answer is that a whole house refurbishment in Croydon typically lands somewhere between £70,000 and £180,000 depending on size, condition and how far you go.
Ask three builders what a rear extension costs and you'll get three answers, because the number depends far more on your ground, your drainage and your finish than on the square metres.
Victorian terraces are some of the most rewarding houses to renovate, but they hide their problems well behind original brickwork and period charm.
Most homeowners never think about their wiring until something flickers, trips or smells hot.

For most homes in Croydon, the honest answer is: probably not.
Extension prices in South London sit noticeably above the national average, and Croydon is no exception.
