Frequently Asked Questions
How much contingency should I add to a renovation budget?
For a light refurbishment (painting, flooring, kitchen units), 10% contingency is typically sufficient. For structural work, extensions, or older properties, use 15-20%. Loft conversions and basement conversions often require 20-25% due to the complexity and risk of discovering hidden issues. Always have your contingency in cash before starting work.
