Overview / Description
RenoCost is a UK renovation cost calculator that generates location-adjusted project estimates based on property type, age, size, and postcode in under 30 seconds. Enter your property details and select renovation work — kitchen refit, bathroom installation, loft conversion, side-return or rear extension, or full electrical rewire — and the tool outputs a personalised low-to-high cost range calibrated to regional labour rates and material prices across the UK. A built-in risk engine flags common issues before work starts, such as structural concerns in older properties and planning considerations for extensions. Completed estimates export as a downloadable PDF report you can share with contractors or mortgage lenders. Finish level adjustments (budget, mid-range, premium) fine-tune the estimate to match specifications, and timeline preferences account for trade availability. RenoCost covers Victorian terraces, 1930s semi-detached homes, post-war builds, and modern detached properties, making it usable for first-time buyers evaluating a purchase and existing homeowners planning a refurbishment. No account or sign-up is required.
