Full Apartment Renovation in Telești

About this service

A full apartment renovation means renewing all services and finishes, from the consumer unit to the last piece of skirting, and it's the only realistic opportunity to resolve every hidden problem in an older home at once. The work begins with stripping out finishes and sanitaryware, removing debris and, where applicable, altering the layout by removing or building non-structural walls. Next comes a complete rewire with dedicated circuits, replacement of water and waste pipework, radiator installation, plastering and skimming of walls and ceilings, self-levelling screed, waterproofing in wet areas, tiling the bathroom and kitchen, laying flooring, fitting internal doors and joinery, decorating, and finally installing electrical accessories, sanitaryware, and furniture. Coordinating the trades in the correct order is what keeps the job on schedule. On SmallJobs you'll find complete teams experienced in turnkey renovations, with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a full apartment renovation

Photograph every service route before it gets covered, without exception
Pay in stages against verifiable inspections, and keep a significant final instalment
Never allow a wall to be removed without documented confirmation that it isn't structural
Budget alternative accommodation for 2–3 weeks beyond the team's promised date
Ask for a staged programme with dates, not just a quote — coordinating the trades is the main risk
Allow a 15–20% budget reserve for what's found after strip-out

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a full apartment renovation cost in Telești?

Labour for a turnkey renovation typically falls between 270 and 900 RON per square metre, depending on area and the level of finishes. For a 55 sqm two-room flat, that means 15,000–50,000 RON in labour. Materials and finishes typically add another 40–70% on top of the labour figure.

How long does a full renovation take?

A studio needs 4–7 weeks, a two-room flat 6–10 weeks, and a three- or four-room flat 10–16 weeks. These timescales include mandatory drying times that cannot be compressed: screed needs roughly a week of drying per centimetre of thickness.

What is the correct order of works?

Strip-out and removal, new partitions, electrical and plumbing services, pressure testing, plastering and skimming, waterproofing in wet areas, screed, tiling, internal joinery, decorating, flooring, electrical accessories and sanitaryware, skirting, and finally furniture. Reversing stages leads to costly rework.

Can I live in the flat during the renovation?

No, not for a full renovation. The home is left for long periods without water, power, or flooring, and dust from demolition and sanding makes the space practically uninhabitable. Budget for alternative accommodation for the whole duration, with a 2–3 week margin over the promised completion date.

Do I need a permit to renovate in Telești?

No permit is needed for interior finishes and services. It becomes mandatory if you alter the structure — removing a load-bearing wall, changing openings in structural walls, or extending the floor area. In Telești, as everywhere, the owners' association usually requires advance notice and observance of quiet hours.

Can I remove the wall between a room and the kitchen?

Only if the wall isn't structural. In frame-structure blocks, internal walls are usually non-structural and can be removed. In blocks with concrete structural walls, the work requires a technical assessment and a permit. Never let a team decide this without documented verification.
