The London Renovation Handbook

A practical guide to planning, pricing and surviving a whole-house renovation in London — from initial surveys and permissions to contractors, construction, snagging and final handover.

It covers the realities of terraced and townhouse projects: party walls, access, sequencing, cash flow and the decisions that quietly determine whether a renovation runs calmly or chaotically.
