Home Renovation Services in Derby
From single-room refreshes to full-property renovations, your decorator handles every stage of the decorating scope across interior and exterior surfaces.
Full Interior Renovation
A full interior renovation covers every room: living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Work runs in a planned sequence from top floor to ground floor. Period features such as cornicing, picture rails, original skirting boards, and timber joinery are treated with care throughout. The interior painting service covers the full range of wall and ceiling finishes available across these projects.
Exterior Renovation
An exterior renovation brings the outside of the property in line with the interior work. Your decorator covers rendered and brick facades, original timber sash windows, fascias and soffits, front doors and porches, and garden walls. Mickleover and Littleover properties with substantial timber joinery need thorough preparation. For full detail on exterior surfaces and coating systems, see our exterior painting page.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Kitchen cabinets are one of the highest-impact changes in an interior renovation. A spray-finished cabinet repaint transforms a kitchen without the disruption or cost of a full replacement. For full detail on the process, finish options, and costs, see our kitchen cabinet painting page.
Wallpapering
Wallpapering is included where the renovation scope calls for it. Period properties in Mickleover, Littleover, and Allestree often have chimney breasts and alcoves that suit a statement paper. For detail on designer papers, period property challenges, and costs, see our wallpapering page.
Pre-Sale Refurbishment
A well-presented property sells faster and achieves a stronger price. Across Derby, Sale, and Chaddesden, where market competition is active, presentation is a genuine differentiator. A fresh interior in neutral tones, clean woodwork, and a freshly painted front door covers most of what buyers notice in a viewing. Your decorator works to the timeline the sale requires.
Your decorator begins with a thorough preparation phase across every surface. Victorian and Edwardian stock across Mickleover, Littleover, and Chaddesden typically needs more preparation than a modern build, which is factored in from the quotation stage.
The Decorating Process
1. Free Site Visit
Your decorator visits your property and walks every room with you. Your decorator notes surface conditions, existing paint layers, any period features that need individual preparation, and any access requirements.
2. Written Quote
You receive a clear written quote covering every room, surface, and access element. price set out in your decorator’s written quote, not a day rate. The quote does not change unless you add to the scope.
3. Scheduled Work
Your decorator agrees a start date and works through the property room by room. Furniture and floors are protected throughout. Each completed room is left usable at the end of the day.
4. Final Walkthrough
Before wrapping up, your decorator walks the finished property with you. Anything that falls short of the standard is put right on the spot.
Home Renovation Costs in Derby
Prices below are estimates only. Every property and project scope is different.
What Drives the Cost
Scope determines the price: an interior-only renovation of a 1930s Sale semi is a different project from a full interior and exterior renovation of a Mickleover detached villa. Older period properties with lime plaster walls need more preparation. Heritage paint ranges from Farrow and Ball and Little Greene add cost but deliver better results on period properties.
Typical Ranges
Single room full renovation: £350 to £700. Full interior renovation (1930s semi, Sale or Spondon): £4,000 to £7,500. Full interior renovation (Edwardian semi, Littleover or Derby): £5,500 to £9,000. Combined interior and exterior (large detached, Mickleover): £9,000 to £16,000+.
Pre-Sale Refurbishment
