Who we are
Whole-House Renovations Built for East London Homes
A house renovation is rarely just one job — it’s a kitchen, a bathroom, some rewiring, a loft conversion and a lot of coordination, all needing to happen in a sensible order without your home being uninhabitable for months on end. Getting that sequencing right is what separates a smooth renovation from a stressful one.
Dakus Construction handles the whole project in-house — structural work, plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling, carpentry and decorating — so you deal with one team from the first survey to the final snag list. No handing you between a designer, a plumber and a separate builder.
We regularly work across East London, including Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham, Hackney and Tower Hamlets. If you’re just outside those areas, call us and ask — we travel for the right project.

Local knowledge
We Renovate Every Type of East London Home
East London’s housing stock spans Victorian terraces, ex-council estates, post-war semis and new-build riverside flats, and each one dictates a different approach to structure, plumbing and layout.
01
Victorian & Edwardian Terraces
Leyton, Walthamstow and Bow. Narrow galley kitchens and single-storey rear additions almost always waiting to become a full extension — solid walls and old wiring are the usual surprises.
02
1930s – 1950s Semis
Chingford, Gants Hill and Barkingside. Generous plots and side access make these some of the easiest homes in the area to extend into.
03
Ex-Council & Estate Housing
Newham, Barking and parts of Hackney. Solid, consistent layouts, but often still carrying original 1960s–70s kitchens and bathrooms badly in need of rewiring and replumbing.
04
Riverside & New-Build Apartments
Canning Town, Royal Docks and Stratford. Structurally sound but often finished to a developer’s budget — upgrading kitchens, bathrooms and finishes makes an immediate difference.
05
Detached & Larger Family Homes
Woodford, Wanstead and Chigwell borders. Room for larger extensions, loft conversions and open-plan kitchen-diner layouts.
06
Buy-to-Let & Pre-Sale Refurbs
Landlords and vendors working to a deadline across Ilford and Dagenham. We scope the renovation work that actually moves valuation and rental yield, and hit fixed dates.
Budgeting
What Does a Home Renovation Cost in East London?
Nobody can quote a house renovation they have not seen, and any builder who gives you a firm number over the phone is guessing. What we can do is be straight about what drives the figure.
Four things move a whole-house renovation budget more than anything else: the scope of the work — a single room refresh versus a full strip-out, whether the project involves structural changes such as an extension or loft conversion, the specification you choose for kitchens, bathrooms and finishes, and the condition of the existing property, particularly its wiring, plumbing and roof.
How we quote
We visit, survey the property, and talk through what you actually want the finished home to do. You then get a written, itemised, fixed-price quote — labour and materials broken out line by line, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust the specification if the number needs to come down. The price we agree is the price you pay unless you ask us to change the scope.

Questions
Home Renovation FAQs
How much does a home renovation cost in East London?
Costs vary widely depending on the scope of the project, whether structural work is involved, and the specification you choose. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a free home visit so there are no surprises.
How long does a home renovation take?
A single room refresh can take 2–3 weeks. A full whole-house renovation involving structural changes, extensions or a loft conversion typically runs 8–16 weeks depending on scale. We give you a realistic programme in writing before work starts.
Do I need planning permission for a home renovation?
Internal refurbishment work generally doesn’t need planning permission. Extensions and loft conversions often fall under permitted development, but structural work, gas and electrics all need building regulations sign-off. We advise on this during your consultation and handle applications where needed.
Do I need to move out during a renovation?
It depends on the scope. A single kitchen or bathroom renovation can usually be managed while you live elsewhere in the house. For a full whole-house renovation involving structural work, most homeowners choose to move out for the duration — we’ll talk through what makes sense for your project during the consultation.
Are you insured and qualified?
Yes — our plumbers are Gas Safe registered and our electricians are fully certified, and all work is covered by insurance-backed guarantees.
