Renovate your whole home in East Dulwich with confidence

Full home renovations are complex, and without a clear plan small gaps turn into delays, budget overruns and stress. Beams fixes that upfront. We help you define the project properly, match you with the right builder, and deliver it through a structured, transparent process, so you keep control from day one.

One team, one plan

We match you with the right builder, not just any builder: vetted for quality and reliability, experienced in full home renovations, and quoting from the same detailed scope so you can compare properly. We turn your ideas into a complete, buildable design and a detailed scope of works with clear, transparent pricing, so there are no gaps and fewer surprises later.

What a full home renovation costs in East Dulwich

There is no flat rate. What a full renovation costs depends on how much of the house is in scope, its condition and the level of finish. Rather than a headline price, we give you a free estimate range upfront, and your builder confirms a fixed price once the design is agreed, so you know the full cost before work begins.

To give you a real starting point, here is what Beams estimated across 7,491 projects, grouped by how many rooms were in scope.

Project scope	Typical estimate
One bathroom	£17,215
One kitchen	£36,619
Kitchen and bathroom	£54,258
Four to five rooms	£66,531
Six to eight rooms	£79,138
Nine or more rooms	£112,557

All figures include VAT at 20% and cover the whole project: materials at retail price plus the construction work. They are medians rather than averages, because a handful of very large jobs would otherwise distort the picture. These are estimate ranges, not fixed quotes. For the full UK picture, see our guide to how much a renovation costs.

How it works

1. Plan and define: Design your home, set the layout and choose materials and finishes.

2. Scope and price: We create a detailed scope of works and transparent pricing upfront.

3. Match and deliver: Work with a vetted builder under structured contracts and milestone payments.

Designed and specified properly

We turn your ideas into a complete, buildable plan: a full home design rather than individual rooms, a detailed scope covering every element, and clear pricing you can trust. No gaps, no guesswork, fewer surprises later.

Why renovate rather than move in East Dulwich

For many East Dulwich owners, renovating the home they already have beats paying stamp duty and moving costs to buy bigger. A full refurbishment, often with an extension or loft, reshapes a period home around modern life and adds lasting value, without leaving the street you love.

Renovating a home in East Dulwich

East Dulwich is predominantly bay-fronted Victorian family terraces, some Edwardian, with period conversion flats. The large family houses have the rooms and features that make a full renovation, often with a side-return and loft, worthwhile.

With the average local home selling for around £850,000 over the past year, a whole-home renovation is a significant investment worth getting right. One thing to plan for early is the local planning picture. The Dulwich Village Conservation Area is nearby and parts of SE22 sit within Southwark designations, so some streets carry tighter rules.

Our vetted builders take on the whole project under one scope and a fixed price, from structural work, rewiring and replumbing to the final finishes. We also help homeowners across South London, including neighbouring Peckham Rye, Dulwich Village and Herne Hill.

The same design team, vetted builders and fixed-price process sit behind every project. See how our home renovation service works, from the first design call to final sign-off.
