A house renovation covers everything from reconfiguring floor plans and removing load-bearing walls with RSJ beams, through to rewiring, re-plumbing, plastering, and decorating. It is the most effective way to modernise a property, add usable space, and significantly increase market value — without the cost and disruption of moving. This service is for homeowners in Brighton and East Sussex who have purchased a period property that needs updating, families who have outgrown their current layout, or investors preparing properties for sale or rental. If your home no longer fits your life, a renovation is the fastest route to a space that does. Professional renovation matters because a badly planned project creates more problems than it solves. Walls removed without proper structural calculations can cause subsidence. Plumbing rerouted without understanding existing infrastructure leads to leaks and damp. Electrical work done without certification voids your insurance and creates safety hazards. Masters Group coordinates every trade — structural engineers, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, and decorators — under one project manager. You deal with one team, one timeline, and one accountable point of contact from start to finish. ### Related Services - [Extensions](/services/extensions) - [Kitchen Renovations](/services/kitchen-renovations) - [Bathroom Renovations](/services/bathroom-renovations) - [Loft Conversions](/services/loft-conversions) ### Areas We Serve - [Brighton](/areas/brighton) - [Worthing](/areas/worthing) - [Eastbourne](/areas/eastbourne) - [Haywards Heath](/areas/haywards-heath) ## What Happens When Renovations Go Wrong? Every year, thousands of homeowners across East Sussex start renovation projects that spiral out of control. The most common cause is not a lack of budget — it is a lack of coordination. When you hire trades independently, there is no one managing the sequence of work, resolving clashes between contractors, or ensuring the project meets building regulations. The consequences are serious. Structural alterations made without proper engineering calculations can compromise the integrity of your home. Waterproofing failures in bathrooms and kitchens lead to damp that costs thousands to remediate. Electrical work completed without Part P certification means your home insurance is void — and you may not discover this until you need to make a claim. Delays compound costs. Every week a renovation runs over schedule costs you in temporary accommodation, extended skip hire, and additional labour charges. Projects that should take 8–12 weeks regularly stretch to 6–9 months when poorly managed. The hidden cost of cheap renovation work is the remediation bill that follows. Masters Group has been called in to rescue dozens of projects started by other contractors — and the cost of fixing bad work is almost always higher than doing it correctly the first time. Our Process ## How We Deliver Every Project 1 ### Initial Consultation We visit your property, understand your goals, assess structural conditions, and discuss budget and timeline. No charge, no obligation. 2 ### Design & Planning We produce detailed plans, liaise with structural engineers where required, and prepare a fixed-price quotation covering every element of the project. 3 ### Building Regulations We handle all building control applications and ensure every aspect of the renovation meets current UK regulations. 4 ### Structural Work Load-bearing wall removal, RSJ installation, underpinning, and any groundwork required before the fit-out begins. 5 ### First & Second Fix Plumbing, electrics, plastering, flooring, kitchens, and bathrooms — all coordinated by your dedicated project manager. 6 ### Handover & Sign-Off Final inspection, snagging, building control sign-off, and handover. We do not consider a project complete until you are satisfied. ## Why This Matters for Your Project ### One Team, One Timeline Every trade coordinated under a single project manager — no chasing contractors or resolving scheduling conflicts yourself. ### Fixed-Price Certainty Your quote covers everything agreed. No surprise charges, no scope creep, no hidden costs appearing mid-project. ### Building Regulation Compliance Every alteration is properly calculated, certified, and signed off — protecting your insurance and your investment. ### Increased Property Value A well-executed renovation in Brighton typically adds 15–25% to property value, far exceeding the cost of the work. ### Minimal Disruption Efficient scheduling means faster completion. We plan the work to minimise impact on your daily life. ### 30+ Years of Local Knowledge We understand Brighton's building stock — from Regency terraces to 1960s semis — and know how to work with each type.

At the structural end, this includes removing load-bearing walls and installing universal beam (RSJ) supports — a process that requires structural engineering calculations, temporary propping, and building control inspection. Masters Group works with accredited structural engineers and holds a long-standing relationship with LABC for all building control requirements. For period properties common in Brighton — particularly Regency and Victorian terraces — renovation requires specialist knowledge. Lime plaster, lath and plaster ceilings, original timber floors, and single-skin walls all demand specific treatment. Using modern materials incorrectly on period buildings traps moisture, accelerates decay, and damages the character that makes these homes desirable. First-fix mechanical and electrical work includes rewiring to current IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), re-plumbing in copper or plastic systems depending on application, and installing underfloor heating where specified. Our partner I.M. Dunkerton Plumbing & Heating handles all mechanical installations, while certified electricians manage all Part P notifiable work. Second-fix work covers plastering (completed by our partner Fullers Plastering), joinery, kitchen and bathroom installation, tiling, flooring, and decoration. Each trade is sequenced precisely — there is no point plastering before plumbing is tested, and no sense painting before sanding is complete. Residential renovations in Brighton typically range from kitchen-diner conversions in Victorian terraces (£30,000–£60,000) through to full-house renovations of larger detached properties (£80,000–£200,000+). The variation depends on structural complexity, specification of finishes, and the condition of the existing property. For landlords and investors, Masters Group also delivers renovation-to-let projects — upgrading properties to meet current EPC requirements, HMO regulations, and lettings standards. This includes thermal insulation, window upgrades, modern heating systems, and fire safety compliance. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does a house renovation cost in Brighton? ### How long does a full house renovation take? ### Do I need to move out during a renovation? ### Do you handle planning permission and building regulations? ### What guarantee do you offer on renovation work? ### Can you renovate period or listed properties in Brighton? ### Do you provide a fixed price or is it an estimate? ### What areas do you cover for house renovations? ![Professional construction project — Masters Group building contractors](/assets/cta-bg-CbvIn_eS.jpg) ## Ready to Transform Your Home?
