Professional Renovations Services in Kent
Breathing new life into tired properties is our passion. Carey Brothers & Sons specialises in comprehensive house renovations across Kent, transforming dated properties into stunning modern homes whilst respecting original character. Whether you're updating a single room, renovating an entire floor, or undertaking a whole-house transformation, our experienced team delivers exceptional results.
Our renovation expertise covers every aspect of property refurbishment – structural alterations including removing walls and creating open-plan living spaces, complete rewiring to modern standards, new plumbing and heating systems, kitchen and bathroom installations, plastering and decoration, new windows and doors, loft and basement conversions, and external works including roofing and rendering. We're experienced with period properties, understanding traditional construction methods and how to upgrade them sympathetically. We navigate the complexities of building regulations, party wall agreements (for terraced properties), and conservation area restrictions, ensuring full compliance whilst achieving your vision.
Successful renovations require detailed planning, expert project management, and clear communication. We begin with a thorough survey to understand your property's construction and identify opportunities and constraints. Our designers work with you to develop plans that maximise space, light, and functionality within your budget. We provide detailed costings with transparent pricing and manage the entire build process, coordinating all specialist trades. During renovation, we minimise disruption through careful phasing, protecting areas not being worked on, and maintaining clean, safe working conditions. We're flexible enough to adapt to unexpected discoveries – common in older properties – providing sensible solutions that keep projects on track. Our goal is delivering renovations that exceed expectations whilst causing minimum stress.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our renovations services in Kent
1What's included in a full house renovation?
A full renovation includes structural alterations, new electrics and plumbing throughout, kitchen and bathroom installation, plastering and decoration, flooring, new windows and doors, heating system upgrades, and external works. We project manage the entire process, coordinating all trades and ensuring building regulations compliance. The scope is tailored to your specific requirements and budget.
2How much does a house renovation cost in Kent?
Renovation costs vary significantly based on the extent of work. A basic renovation (cosmetic updates, new kitchen/bathroom) costs £30,000-£60,000. Mid-range renovations (including structural work, full rewire, new heating) cost £80,000-£150,000. High-end renovations with significant remodelling cost £150,000-£300,000+. We provide detailed costings during the quotation stage.
3Can we stay in the house during renovation?
This depends on the extent of work. For phased renovations, many clients remain in their homes, using temporary arrangements for kitchens/bathrooms when those rooms are being renovated. For whole-house renovations involving rewiring, replumbing, and structural work, temporary relocation is often more practical and allows faster completion. We discuss this during planning.
4How long does a house renovation take?
Renovation timelines vary significantly. A kitchen/bathroom renovation takes 6-8 weeks. A single-floor renovation takes 3-4 months. A whole-house renovation takes 6-12 months depending on size and complexity. Listed buildings and properties requiring planning permission take longer. We provide a detailed programme during the quotation stage.
5Do you help with planning permission for renovations?
Yes, we assist with all planning applications. Whilst significant external alterations usually require planning permission, many internal renovations don't. We advise on what requires permission, help prepare applications, liaise with planning officers, and ensure building regulations compliance. Our experience with Kent planning authorities ensures smooth approvals.
