Full Interior Renovation
A full interior renovation covers every room from top to bottom. Your decorator starts at the highest point. Attic rooms and landing ceilings first, then downward through the house, completing each floor before moving to the next. Your decorator handles filling and plastering where needed, all painting and decorating, woodwork and joinery, and any finishing touches. For full interior painting as a standalone service, see our interior painting page.
Kitchen and Bathroom
Kitchen and bathroom work is the highest-impact part of any North Devon home renovation. For kitchens, your decorator handles painting and decorating throughout, including kitchen cabinet painting where a full refit is not needed. Your decorator also handles tiling where required. For bathrooms, your decorator coordinates with plumbers, applies moisture-resistant coatings, and tile to a clean finish.
Pre-Sale Refurbishment
North Devon has a strong pre-sale property market. Presentation affects offers in Barnstaple town centre, Braunton, and the coastal villages. Pre-sale refurbishment typically covers a full interior repaint, woodwork restoration, and exterior touchups where needed. Your decorator advises on which improvements give the best return for the property type and location.
Extension and Period Property Work
New spaces and historic buildings both need a specialist approach. Extensions need a finish that connects them to the rest of the house.
Extension and Loft Conversion
New spaces need a finish that connects them to the rest of the house. Extension and loft conversion fit-out includes fresh plasterwork preparation, painting throughout, and carpentry finishing. That covers skirting boards, door frames, and window boards. Your decorator works directly with builders and manages the handover from structural trades to decorating.
Period Property Restoration
Victorian and Edwardian properties across Barnstaple are a large part of the work. Original cornicing, ceiling roses, picture rails, and sash windows all need specific preparation and finishing techniques. Properties in Pilton and Bear Street area have original lime plaster walls that need breathable coatings. For specialist period property work, see our period property painting page.

Here's How It Works
1. Site Visit and Scope Discussion
Your decorator visits the property and walks every room with you. Your decorator notes surface conditions, the extent of any preparation needed, and what finish you are looking for. Your decorator advises on what trades are needed beyond decorating.
2. Written Quote Covering Full Scope
Every room and surface is specified in writing before your decorator starts. No additions midway through without your agreement.
3. Sequence Planning
Your decorator plans the order of rooms and trades around your property. Plumbing and structural work clears first. Decorating follows. Carpentry finishes last where it can.
4. Preparation Phase
Filling, sanding, priming, and specialist preparation for any period surfaces. This phase takes longer than most clients expect and determines how the finished work holds up long-term.
5. Renovation Phase and Sign-Off
Systematic, room by room. Each room is completed and signed off before your decorator moves to the next. Your decorator walks the completed property with you. Any item that does not meet the standard is addressed before your decorator leaves.
Home Renovation Costs in Barnstaple
Prices below are estimates only. Every property is different. Call 01271 444479 for a precise quote.

What Drives the Cost
Home renovation cost depends on scope, property size, and the level of preparation required. Scope and number of rooms: a cosmetic refresh across six rooms differs significantly from a full renovation including kitchen and bathroom. Property condition: period properties in Pilton and Sticklepath often need plaster repairs, woodwork stripping, and specialist coatings before any decorating can begin. Whether you are in occupation: phased room-by-room work takes longer than open-access work in an empty property.
Typical Project Ranges
Single room refurbishment (full repaint, woodwork, ceiling): £400–£900. Full interior renovation (3-bed Victorian terrace): £4,000–£9,000. Pre-sale refurbishment (Barnstaple, neutral repaint throughout): £2,500–£6,000. Extension fit-out (new plaster, full decoration, joinery): £2,000–£5,000.
