We intend to renovate our 1930s 3 bed semi, nothing was changed from when it was originally built, it’s in disrepair and needs total modernization.
Before contracting a local business we would like to understand the cost and work involved.

We have very little understanding of building and don’t want to get unfairly charged.
We would like to have a good idea of the work that will have to be done and the costs.

It would be extremely helpful if someone can help us create a breakdown, specifically:
-labour
-materials
-work involved

Here’s an overview:
1. The brick partition wall inside of the house 2.5m x 4m is completely damp and has been for some time.
We would like to completely redo this wall.

2. The brick wall on the outside of the house is completely damp.
Looks like the wall will have to be completely redone.
The dimensions of the wall are 20m x 5m.
It also used to have render onto of the bricks, we would like to redo this too.

Thank you in advance,
C

It would be so nice if life was that simple! - But alas there are too many variables to do what you have asked.

I think what would be better is to have a Building Surveyor come and have a look at what you are concerned about. Some of the things you have mentioned may be quite unnecessary, others just treating symptons and not problems.

An alternative way is to have a reputable and experienced builder do something similar - but you should only go this route using a builder recommended to you by people you know and trust.

Then you can start looking for quotations.
I'm sorry it does not give you the answer you were looking for.
