Thoughtfully Planned, Expertly Delivered Whole-Home Renovations

From structural alterations and layout reconfiguration through to bespoke joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and exterior works, we provide a single, coordinated build process from start to finish.

Whether you’re renovating a Victorian terrace, a Regency townhouse, a 1930s family home or a seafront apartment, we bring the experience, planning and attention to detail required to deliver complex renovations smoothly and confidently.

Full Renovations for Brighton & Hove Homes

Brighton & Hove’s housing stock is varied, characterful — and often complex. We carry out full house renovations across a wide range of local property types and neighbourhoods, including:

01

Hove & West Hove

Our renovation work spans central Hove, Brunswick Town, Seven Dials, St Ann’s Well, Aldrington, West Blatchington, Hangleton, Knoll, Mile Oak and Portslade. From Regency terraces to larger family homes, we understand the construction styles and common challenges across Hove’s residential streets.

02

Central Brighton & Seafront Areas

We regularly work in central Brighton and seafront locations, including The Lanes, North Laine, Kemptown, Old Steine, Montpelier, Regency Square and Clifton Hill. These areas often involve period buildings, tighter access and planning considerations that require experience and careful coordination.

03

North & Suburban Brighton

In the north of the city, we work throughout Preston Park, Preston Village, Withdean, Westdene, Patcham, Hollingbury, Hollingdean, Coldean, Bevendean, Falmer and Stanmer — typically on larger homes requiring full internal renovation and long-term improvement.

04

East Brighton & Coastal Villages

We also undertake projects in Queen’s Park, Whitehawk, Brighton Marina, Black Rock, Ovingdean, Rottingdean and Roedean, where properties often benefit from thoughtful reconfiguration, structural upgrades and sensitive modernisation.

Our Process
5 Clear Steps

A successful full house renovation depends on planning, sequencing and communication.
Our process is designed to reduce uncertainty and keep projects running smoothly.

1. Initial Consultation & Site Visit

We begin with a detailed site visit to understand your property, objectives, budget and timescales, allowing us to advise on feasibility, risks and opportunities early on.

2. Design, Specification & Planning

We work alongside architects, designers and structural engineers, helping refine layouts, structural solutions and specifications that are practical, compliant and cost-effective.

3. Detailed Costing & Programme

Once the scope is defined, we provide a clear cost breakdown and realistic build programme — avoiding vague allowances and unexpected variations.

4. Build Phase & Project Management

Your renovation is managed day-to-day by our experienced team, coordinating trades, inspections and deliveries while maintaining quality control throughout.

5. Completion & Aftercare

We complete projects thoroughly, handling final inspections, certification and snagging before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered

Why Choose Hove Renovations?

Clients choose us for full house renovations because we offer:

  • Specialist renovation expertise (not new-build shortcuts)
  • Structural knowledge for complex layout changes
  • Hands-on project management throughout
  • Transparent pricing and clear communication
  • High-end finishes executed with care
  • Deep local knowledge of Brighton & Hove properties

We intentionally take on a limited number of projects at any one time to maintain quality and attention to detail.

Do I need planning permission & building control

Not all renovation work requires planning permission, but most full house renovations require Building Control approval, particularly where structural alterations or insulation upgrades are involved.

We coordinate with structural engineers, Building Control officers and approved inspectors to ensure all work is compliant and properly signed off.

How long does a full house renovation take?

Timescales vary depending on scope, but as a general guide:

  • Light to mid-level renovations: 8–12 weeks

  • Major structural renovations: 12–20+ weeks

A tailored programme is provided once the scope is confirmed.

Do I need to move out during a full house renovation?

Often yes, particularly where major structural, plumbing or electrical works are involved. We’ll advise honestly based on the scope.

Can you work with my architect or designer?

Yes — we regularly collaborate with client-appointed professionals and contribute buildability and cost advice.

Do you provide fixed pricing?

Where the scope is fully defined, yes. Early-stage projects are costed progressively as designs develop.
