Costs.
What the work really costs in 2026 — given as ranges rather than false precision, with a surveyor’s view on whether it is worth doing at all.
Underpinning cost in 2026
Underpinning costs £6,000–£25,000 for one wall in 2026, up to £50,000+ for a full house. What drives the price, and why most subsidence never needs it.
079 2 Aug 2026Repointing cost per m² in 2026
Repointing costs £45–£90 per m² for cement mortar in 2026, more for lime on period brick. What drives the price — and why cement can ruin old brickwork.
076 1 Aug 2026Rising damp treatment cost in 2026
Rising damp treatment costs £600–£2,500 for chemical DPC injection in 2026. What's worth paying for, and the cheap fix worth trying first.
073 31 Jul 2026Double glazing cost in 2026
£350–£700 per window fitted, £4,000–£10,000 for a typical semi. What drives the price, whether it actually moves your EPC rating, and whether you need it at all.
070 30 Jul 2026Solar panels cost in 2026
£6,000–£8,500 installed for a typical 3.5–4kWp system, £8,500–£12,000 for a larger home, plus £4,000–£8,000 for battery storage. What drives the price, and why the roof matters more than the quote.
067 29 Jul 2026House rewiring cost in 2026
£4,500–£8,000 for a full rewire on a typical semi. What drives the price, and whether a 1970s consumer unit actually means you need one, or just an EICR and a new fuse box.
064 28 Jul 2026New roof cost in 2026
£5,500–£18,500 for a full re-roof on a typical semi, tile to slate, plus flat roof pricing. What drives the price, whether you actually need a full re-roof, and what a fair quote looks like.
061 27 Jul 2026Damp proofing cost in 2026
£600–£2,500 for chemical DPC injection on a typical semi. What's fair, what's a rip-off, and why most ‘rising damp’ call-outs aren’t rising damp at all.
058 25 Jul 2026Loft insulation cost in 2026
£500–£1,200 for a typical semi, from £300 for a terrace. The fastest payback in the average house, the grants still running, and the mistakes a surveyor sees most.
055 24 Jul 2026Cavity wall insulation cost in 2026
£1,500–£2,900 for a typical semi, from £600 for a flat. What drives the price, the grants still running, and the surveyor’s angle on when it makes damp worse rather than better.
052 23 Jul 2026What does a seller’s survey cost in 2026?
About £600–£800 for a typical home — the pre-marketing Home Insight Survey. What it covers, what it excludes, and why putting the condition on the table up front prevents a fall-through.
051 23 Jul 2026How much does a new boiler cost in 2026?
£1,800–£4,500 fitted, £2,000–£3,000 for a straightforward combi swap. What drives the price, repair vs replace, and boiler vs heat pump honestly compared.
048 22 Jul 2026Air source heat pump cost in 2026
£9,000–£16,000 installed, £1,500–£8,500 after the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant (£9,000 for oil/LPG homes). A 3-bed worked example, and whether your house is actually ready.
045 21 Jul 2026How much does an EPC cost in 2026?
Most domestic EPCs run £60–£120, more for larger homes or London. What drives the fee, the 2030 landlord deadline, and why the cheapest quote isn’t always the bargain it looks.
043 20 Jul 2026How much does a house survey cost in 2026?
A Level 2 HomeBuyer survey runs about £400–£1,000, a Level 3 building survey £630–£1,500+. What drives the price, which level you actually need, and why the lender’s valuation isn’t a survey.
