What Is The Average Cost Of a Home Renovation?

31 Dec What Is The Average Cost Of a Home Renovation?

The cost of a home renovation in Scotland can vary widely depending on the size of your property, the type of work, and the quality of materials you choose but here’s a practical guide to help you budget.

Average renovation costs:

• Small updates (painting, flooring, lighting) – from £5,000–£15,000 
• Kitchen or bathroom renovation – from £8,000–£25,000 
• Full-home renovation (including plumbing, electrics, and joinery) – typically £40,000–£100,000+ 

In Glasgow and the West, costs can be slightly higher than the UK average due to older properties and stricter building standards. Period homes often require re-plastering, insulation, or rewiring, which can add to the total.

What affects the price most:

• Scope of work – cosmetic vs structural changes 
• Material quality – worktop and fixture choices can double your budget 
• Property condition – older homes often need additional prep work 
• Labour and project management – using experienced professionals saves time, stress, and hidden repair costs later
