Home Renovations in Perth

Whether you're modernising a tired property or reconfiguring your layout to suit a growing family, our structured approach to home renovation ensures a smooth, predictable process from start to finish.

We coordinate every trade — joiners, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, decorators — under one project manager, so you have a single point of contact throughout the build.

Operating across Perth, Dundee, Kinross, Crieff, Auchterarder, Blairgowrie, and Dunblane, Marshall & Co has delivered hundreds of successful residential renovations over the past fifteen years. We understand the unique character of Scottish properties, from Victorian villas and Edwardian semis to post-war bungalows and modern estates.

Why Marshall & Co?

A full home renovation is far more than cosmetic decoration. It typically involves structural assessment and alterations, complete rewiring to current regulations, new plumbing and heating systems, replastering, new flooring, kitchen and bathroom installation, and full interior and exterior decoration. The complexity lies not in any individual trade, but in coordinating multiple specialists to work in the correct sequence without delays or quality compromises.

At Marshall & Co, we act as the single point of accountability for your entire renovation. We appoint, manage, and quality-check every tradesperson involved. This means you don't need to hire, schedule, or supervise individual contractors — and you don't risk the costly delays that come from poor coordination.

Many homeowners in Perth and Perthshire choose full renovation over moving because it allows them to stay in the area they love while creating a home that perfectly matches their lifestyle. With property prices across Perth averaging well above the cost of renovation per square foot, investing in your current home often makes strong financial sense.

Every home renovation we undertake is unique, but our projects typically fall into several categories. Complete whole-house renovations involve stripping a property back to the bare structure and rebuilding the interior to a modern standard — new electrics, plumbing, insulation, plastering, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, and decoration throughout. These are common when purchasing an older property or preparing a family home for the next twenty years.

Partial renovations focus on specific areas of the home — perhaps a ground-floor reconfiguration to create open-plan living, or a first-floor redesign to add an en-suite and reconfigure bedrooms. We also deliver single-room renovations for clients who want to transform a kitchen, bathroom, or living space without disrupting the rest of the house.

Period property renovations require particular care and experience. Many homes across Perthshire have traditional features — cornicing, ceiling roses, original timber floors, stone fireplaces — that homeowners want to preserve while modernising the infrastructure behind them. We have extensive experience balancing heritage character with contemporary comfort, ensuring that rewiring, replumbing, and insulating a period home doesn't destroy its charm.

Project management is the single most important factor in a successful renovation. Without it, trades arrive at the wrong time, materials go missing, decisions get delayed, and costs escalate. Our approach eliminates these risks by assigning a dedicated project manager to every job, regardless of size.

Before work begins, we create a detailed programme setting out the sequence of trades, key milestones, and expected completion date. This programme is shared with you and updated weekly so you always know where the project stands. If any issue arises — a structural surprise behind a wall, a material delivery delay — we communicate it immediately along with the solution.

We also manage all procurement centrally. Materials are specified, ordered, and scheduled to arrive on site at the right time. This prevents the common frustration of tradespeople standing idle because materials haven't been ordered or delivered. It's a disciplined approach that saves both time and money.

Renovation costs vary significantly depending on the scope, specification, and condition of the property. As a general guide, a full home renovation in Perth typically costs between £800 and £1,500 per square metre, depending on the level of finish. A modest three-bedroom semi might cost £40,000–£70,000 for a comprehensive renovation, while a larger detached property with high-end finishes could be £100,000–£180,000 or more.

We provide fully itemised, fixed-price quotations so you know exactly what you're paying for before work begins. There are no provisional sums or allowances that can inflate later — every element is specified and costed. If you want to adjust the specification after quoting, we're happy to re-price individual elements so you can make informed decisions about where to invest your budget.

Many clients are surprised to learn that a well-managed renovation can be significantly cheaper than buying a larger or newer property once you factor in stamp duty, legal fees, moving costs, and the premium you pay for a finished home versus doing the work yourself. We're happy to discuss the financial case for renovation versus relocation during our initial consultation.
