Renovation in Solihull is a different brief from renovation elsewhere in the region. Clients here are rarely trying to make a tired house liveable — they are usually taking a structurally sound property and lifting it to a specification the existing layout was never built for. That means the scope is led by services and finish as much as by structure.
In practice a typical Solihull whole-house project involves opening up the ground floor onto steels, reworking the services entirely, and then a fit-out that includes engineered stone, bespoke joinery, structural slim-frame glazing to the garden, and increasingly MVHR and integrated smart home systems. Those last two need designing in early — MVHR ducting has to be coordinated with the joists and the ceiling voids before anything is boarded, and retrofitting it later is close to impossible without opening everything up again.
The large detached stock in Knowle and Dorridge often takes this further, where a renovation and a substantial extension happen under one contract and the two have to be planned as a single programme. Sequencing matters more than it does on a smaller job: premium glazing and joinery lead times regularly run 12–16 weeks and become the critical path, so we order early rather than discovering the delay at second fix.
Costs
How much does house renovation cost in Solihull?
What you pay depends mostly on which of the options below your property allows — the gap between the simplest and the most involved is substantial, and it is decided by the building rather than by us. We survey first, then give you a single fixed price. We would rather do that than publish a range that does not survive contact with your Solihull property.

Planning
Do you need planning permission in Solihull?
Your planning authority is Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. Here is what that means in practice for house renovation in B91–B94.
- Internal replanning and structural alterations need Building Regulations approval and structural calculations, but not planning permission.
- Replacement windows and doors are notifiable under Building Regulations and must meet current thermal standards — relevant on most Solihull renovations given the glazing specifications involved.
- In Old Solihull and parts of Knowle, conservation designation controls external alterations — windows, doors, render and roof materials — even where the internal work is unrestricted.
- Where a renovation includes an extension, the extension follows the full householder application route and Solihull MBC's usual scrutiny of materials and proportions.
- MVHR, underfloor heating and structural glazing all interact with Building Regulations Parts F, L and K — we coordinate these at design stage rather than resolving conflicts on site.
Local property
What we typically find in a Solihull renovation
- Structurally sound properties where the driver is specification and layout, not disrepair — a different starting point from most regional renovation work.
- 1980s–90s extensions with dated detailing that need reworking or removing rather than simply redecorating.
- Ground floors compartmentalised into separate reception rooms, where the brief is nearly always to open up onto the garden.
- Existing heating systems undersized for the glazing areas clients want — heat loss calculations need redoing, not assuming.
- Ceiling voids and joist layouts that constrain MVHR routing, which is why it has to be designed before first fix rather than after.
