Renovations & Refurbishments in Kent — what's included
40+ years of renovations & refurbishments across Kent
Whole-house renovations are where Tembok adds the most value — one written contract covering structural work, layout reconfiguration, insulation upgrades, joinery, plumbing, electrics, plastering and decoration. No project-managing trades yourself.
Across Kent we handle period restorations on Wealden cottages, 1930s semi refurbs in Maidstone and Sevenoaks, and full strip-and-rebuild jobs on inherited properties. Heritage detail (lime mortar, oak frame repair, sash joinery) is handled in-house.
Typical Kent whole-house renovation runs 4–9 months on site depending on whether you stay in or move out, and whether structural elements (RSJs, layout changes, extensions) are bundled in.
- Full house refits
- Heritage restoration
- Insulation & re-wiring

FAQs
Renovations & Refurbishments in Kent — frequently asked
Can I live in the house during a full renovation?
Most projects yes, with room-by-room phasing. Full strip-outs (joists up, services rerun) usually need a 6–8 week move-out for safety and programme efficiency.
How do you handle surprises — rot, asbestos, undersized cabling?
Every quote carries a 10% contingency line. Surprises get costed against it and signed off in writing before we proceed — no verbal scope creep.
Do you handle the design or just the build?
Both — we have in-house design and external architect partners. Most clients use our design service for cost certainty; some bring their own architect, which is also fine.
What's a typical whole-house renovation cost in Kent?
£1,500–£2,500 per m² for a quality finish (mid-2026 figures), £2,500–£4,000+ per m² for high-end specification with bespoke joinery and premium materials.
How long does a 4-bed whole-house renovation take?
Realistic programme is 6–9 months on site, depending on whether the works include structural alterations and the spec level of joinery, kitchens and bathrooms.
Do you do listed buildings?
Yes — we have heritage joiners and plasterers on the team and existing relationships with Conservation Officers in TWBC, ABC and Maidstone.
