Bathroom fitting

How much does a new bathroom cost in the UK? A new bathroom in the UK typically costs £5,500 to £9,500 including VAT for a full refit in the same layout, with a mid-range suite and tiling. A basic refresh can be £4,000 to £6,000, and a high-end or redesigned bathroom £9,000 to £15,000 or more. Labour is more than half the cost.

Building and extensions

Driveways and patios

How much does a resin driveway cost in the UK? A resin-bound driveway in the UK typically costs £70 to £130 per square metre including VAT when it can go over a sound existing base, and £120 to £220 per square metre when the old surface has to be dug out and a new base laid. That's about £3,500 to £11,000 for a 50 m² two-car drive.

Electrics

How much does it cost to rewire a house in the UK? Rewiring a three-bed house in the UK typically costs £5,300 to £9,600 including VAT, with a new consumer unit, testing and certification, and takes 6 to 10 days. A one-bed flat is about £3,600 to £5,800, and a five-bed house up to about £15,000. Plastering and redecorating afterwards are usually extra.

Heating and boilers

How much does a new boiler cost in the UK? Replacing a combi boiler with a new one in the same place typically costs £2,500 to £4,500 in the UK, with fitting, a filter and controls.

Kitchen fitting

How much does a new kitchen cost in the UK? A new fitted kitchen in the UK typically costs £10,000 to £20,000 including VAT for a mid-range kitchen of about 12 units, with appliances and fitting. A budget kitchen can be £6,000 to £11,000, and a high-end one £20,000 to £50,000 or more. The units, worktops and appliances are most of the cost.

Loft conversions

How much does a loft conversion cost in the UK? A loft conversion in the UK typically costs £28,000 to £50,000 for a rooflight (Velux) conversion and £45,000 to £80,000 for a rear dormer, including VAT.

Roofing
