(Includes standard brick/blockwork, uPVC windows, standard electrics/plumbing, and off-the-shelf fixtures).

£2,500 to £3,200 per m2

(Includes architectural features, aluminium bi-fold doors, underfloor heating, and higher-end kitchen/bathroom fittings).

£3,200+ per m2

(Includes large-scale structural steelwork, custom joinery, smart home integration, and premium surface finishes).

Baseline guide for a standard 3-bed semi: £6,500 to £9,000+ (Excl. VAT)

This is the modern industry standard. A STRUCTURA quote for a concrete re-roof isn't just for tiles; it includes full independent scaffolding, safely stripping the old roof, installing modern breathable membranes, treated timber battens, and ensuring Building Control compliance (which often legally requires upgrading your loft insulation while the roof is off)

Baseline guide for a standard 3-bed semi: £9,000 to £14,000+ (Excl. VAT)

Slate is a premium, natural material that requires specialist craftsmanship to grade, hole, and lay correctly. If you live in a conservation area, period property, or simply want a roof that will last over a century, this is the gold standard. The price reflects the higher cost of the raw stone and the highly skilled labour required.

Guide Price: £90 to £140 per square metre (Excl. VAT)

We do not use outdated, cheap pour-and-roll felt that blisters and cracks after five years. Structura only installs modern GRP (Fibreglass) or EPDM (Rubber) flat roof systems. This price includes stripping the old deck, installing structural OSB boards, laying rigid warm-deck insulation to meet thermal regulations, and applying a seamless, weather-proof system with a multi-decade guarantee.

Guide Price: £15,000 to £30,000+

(per dormer, exterior shell only) Adding a dormer isn't just a roofing job; it is major structural engineering. A Structura dormer build covers the structural steelwork, heavy timber framing, high-density insulation to meet current Part L regulations, exterior cladding (such as tile-hanging or zinc), and the flat roof covering.

Baseline guide for a standard 3-bed semi: £1,800 to £3,500 (Excl. VAT)

Cowboy roofers will try to save time by "over-capping" your rotting timber fascias with cheap plastic. This traps moisture and accelerates structural decay. The Structura standard involves stripping everything back to the rafter feet, treating the structural timber, and installing a full-replacement uPVC roofline system with integrated eaves ventilation to let your roof breathe.

Minimum Professional Mobilisation: £400+

If a "roofer" offers to fix your leak for £100 cash, send them away. Safe, legal, and permanent roof repairs require proper access equipment (scaffolding, edge protection, or cherry pickers) and a minimum of two operatives on site for health and safety. We don't just smear silicone over a cracked tile; we identify the root cause of the water ingress and repair it permanently.

Baseline guide: £3,000 to £5,500 (Excl. VAT)

This covers knocking through a standard internal wall to create a basic open-plan space. The STRUCTURA price includes safely propping the floors above, cutting the masonry, installing engineered concrete padstones, lifting the heavy steel RSJ into place, wrapping it in mandatory fire-resistant boarding, and arranging the Building Control inspection.

Baseline guide: £8,000 to £15,000+ (Excl. VAT)

If you are removing the entire back corner of your house for bi-fold doors, a single beam won't work. You need a "goalpost" frame (vertical steel columns supporting horizontal beams). This requires serious temporary works, heavy lifting equipment, bolted and welded steel connections, and often new concrete foundation pads just to support the steel columns.

Guide Price: £1,200 to £1,800 per linear metre (Excl. VAT)

If your property is suffering from subsidence, traditional underpinning involves digging beneath your existing shallow foundations and pouring massive blocks of structural concrete to stabilise the house. This is highly dangerous work that must be done in strict "hit-and-miss" sections (digging small bays at a time) to prevent the building from collapsing during the works.

Baseline guide: £5,000 to £12,000+ (Excl. VAT)

When traditional foundations won't work—often due to deep clay, nearby trees, or severe ground movement—we use mini-piling. This involves driving steel-cased piles deep into the earth until they hit solid ground, then casting a reinforced concrete ring beam or slab over the top. It requires specialist heavy plant machinery and geological surveys.

Baseline guide: £2,500 to £4,500 per breast (Excl. VAT)

A notoriously messy and risky job. Cowboy builders will simply smash the brickwork out and leave the heavy chimney stack hanging dangerously in the loft. A STRUCTURA removal includes installing structural steel or heavy-duty gallows brackets in the loft to legally support the remaining stack, removing the lower masonry, and making good the newly exposed floors and ceilings.

Guide Price: £800 to £2,500+ (Excl. VAT)

You cannot legally guess the size of a steel beam or the depth of a foundation. Before a hammer is swung, professional structural works require paid expertise. This budget covers the independent Structural Engineer's calculations, soil testing, Party Wall surveyor fees (if you are cutting into a shared wall), and the mandatory Local Authority Building Control application fees.

Baseline guide: £80 to £140 per linear metre (Excl. VAT)

True rising damp is rare, but when it happens, a cheap chemical spray won't fix it. The STRUCTURA standard involves hacking off the contaminated plaster up to 1 metre high, injecting a high-strength silane-siloxane damp proof course into the mortar bed, and—crucially—re-rendering the wall with a specialist salt-retardant plaster so groundwater salts don't ruin your new paintwork.

Guide Price: £60 to £100 per m² for professional repointing (Excl. VAT)

Water entering through porous bricks or cracked mortar is the most common cause of damp. Scaffolding is often required. We don't just smear mortar over the cracks; we mechanically rake out the old joints to the correct depth, inject new weather-resistant pointing, and can apply invisible, breathable masonry water repellents to protect the brickwork without trapping internal moisture.

Baseline guide: £60 to £120 per m² of treated surface (Excl. VAT)

If you just want your damp, dusty cellar to be a dry, clean space to store boxes, we use Type A waterproofing (Cementitious Tanking). This involves stripping the walls back to bare brick, applying a salt-neutralising primer, and coating the room in a heavy-duty waterproof slurry. Note: This method is for dry storage only, not for habitable living spaces.

Baseline guide: £1,200 to £2,200+ per m² of floor space (Excl. VAT)

Turning a wet cellar into a legal, warm bedroom or cinema room requires Type C waterproofing. This is serious engineering. We install a studded cavity drain membrane to the walls and floor, directing water into a perimeter drainage channel, which flows into a dual-pump sump station with an alarm. The price includes this waterproofing, plus structural flooring, insulated stud walls, plastering, and Building Control sign-off.

Guide Price: £500 to £1,500+

per room depending on structural damage Where there is damp, there is often rot. If moisture has reached your floor joists, ignoring it will lead to structural collapse. Dry rot, in particular, requires aggressive intervention. STRUCTURA will cut away the infected timber 1 metre past the last sign of fungal growth, replace it with pre-treated structural timber, and safely apply fungicidal or insecticidal sprays to the surrounding sub-floor.

Baseline guide: £700 to £1,100 fully installed (Excl. VAT)

90% of what homeowners think is "rising damp" is actually just poor ventilation causing condensation and black mould. Bleach won't fix this. We install Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units in the loft, which gently push filtered, dry air throughout the property, forcing the moisture-laden air out. It cures black mould permanently and improves the air quality of your entire home.

Baseline guide: £400 to £1,200+ per m² (Excl. VAT)

We deliver both Cat A (Landlord) and Cat B (Tenant) fit-outs.

A Cat A fit-out provides a blank, functional canvas ready to let (raised floors, suspended ceilings, basic M&E).

A Cat B fit-out creates a fully branded, ready-to-work environment (glass partitions, custom kitchens, data cabling, and bespoke reception areas).

The price heavily depends on the final specification and M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) requirements.

Baseline guide: £1,500 to £2,500+ per m² (Excl. VAT)

Converting empty offices or retail units into lucrative HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) or luxury apartments is a highly profitable strategy, but the red tape is immense. We manage the entire process, including strict Part E (Sound Transmission) and Part B (Fire Safety) Building Regulations, upgraded commercial utility feeds, and high-durability residential finishes.

Baseline guide: Highly variable based on brand specification

Closing a restaurant or retail store for refurbishment costs you daily revenue. We specialize in fast-track, tightly managed schedules to minimize your operational downtime.

This includes heavy-duty commercial kitchens, highly durable public-facing finishes, integrated POS data systems, and complex HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) installations.

Guide Price: Priced via detailed Schedule of Works

Industrial spaces require robust, heavy-duty engineering. Our commercial team handles structural mezzanine floor installations (to double your usable footprint), commercial-grade epoxy resin flooring, high-bay LED lighting upgrades for energy efficiency, and insulated steel cladding to modernize your unit's exterior and thermal performance.

Guide Price: Subject to the Lease Schedule of Dilapidations

If you are exiting a commercial lease, you are legally obligated to return the unit to its original condition. We provide rapid, highly efficient commercial strip-out services.

We remove tenant-installed partitions, strip out redundant M&E, and make good all structural and cosmetic damage, ensuring you don't face massive financial penalties from your landlord.

Included in all STRUCTURA Commercial Contracts

Commercial sites are heavily targeted by the HSE. If your contractor cuts a corner, you as the client can face the fine (or the prosecution). Structura takes on the legal role of Principal Contractor.

We provide comprehensive RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements), manage all site welfare, enforce strict health and safety protocols, and hand over a complete O&M (Operations & Maintenance) manual upon completion.

Baseline guide: £1,500 to £4,000+ (Excl. council fees)

You cannot build a house on a sketch. This fee covers professional architectural designs, 3D feasibility studies, and the often-frustrating process of submitting and managing your application through your local authority's Planning Department to secure legal permission to build.

Baseline guide: £400 to £1,200+ (Excl. VAT)

Guessing the size of a steel beam is how houses collapse. If you are removing a chimney breast, taking out a load-bearing wall, or digging an extension, you are legally required to have an independent Structural Engineer calculate the exact load paths and specify the required steelwork (RSJs) or concrete padstones.

Baseline guide: £1,500 to £5,000+ (Excl. VAT)

Commercial buildings deal with vastly different live loads and regulations. This covers complex engineering for heavy industrial plant installations, mezzanine floor loading capacities, commercial-to-residential change of use, and full structural condition reports for dilapidations.

Baseline guide: £250 to £600+ (Excl. VAT)

If your property was built before the year 2000, you are legally required to have an R&D (Refurbishment & Demolition) Asbestos Survey completed before any disruptive work begins. We do not put our tradesmen or your family at risk. We arrange for independent specialists to test the site thoroughly.

Baseline guide: £500 to £3,000+ (Depending on volume/type)

If the R&D survey finds asbestos (such as in old floor tiles, artex ceilings, or cement roof sheets), it cannot just be thrown in a skip. It must be legally removed, encapsulated, and disposed of at a registered hazardous waste facility by HSE-licensed contractors, complete with a clean-air certificate.

Baseline guide: £400 to £1,500+ (Depending on project size)

Building Control is the legal authority that signs off that your build meets UK safety, fire, and thermal regulations. You must pay an application fee and an inspection fee. At STRUCTURA, we often recommend using Private Approved Inspectors rather than the local council, as they offer faster site visits and more commercial pragmatism.

Baseline guide: £800 to £1,500+ per neighbour

If you are excavating near a boundary or cutting into a shared wall, you must serve a legal Party Wall Notice. If your neighbour dissents (disagrees), you are legally obligated to pay for a Party Wall Surveyor to draw up an Award. If they demand their own independent surveyor, you must pay for that one, too.

Baseline guide: £300 to £1,500+ (Excl. VAT)

We do not dig blind. Before laying foundations, we may require a CCTV drainage survey to ensure we aren't building over a collapsed sewer, or a Geotechnical Soil test to determine if the ground requires specialist mini-piling instead of traditional concrete trenches.

Baseline guide: Calculated within the Structura Prelims

Construction is highly dangerous. Under CDM 2015 regulations, the client holds legal responsibility for site safety unless officially handed over.

STRUCTURA assumes the role of Principal Contractor, absorbing that liability. This covers our time producing RAMS, site welfare setups, and the final handover of your O&M manual.

Baseline guide: 10% to 15% of the total build cost

You have a day job; managing a building site shouldn't be your second one. This fee is for total peace of mind. It covers your dedicated STRUCTURA Project Manager coordinating the trades, policing the quality, managing the supply chain deliveries, untangling the red tape, and ensuring the project hits the critical path timeline.
