Yes, if you are moving plumbing, electrical, or structural walls. The City of London's minimum permit fee for 2026 is $260.37. Cosmetic updates like replacing cabinets in the same location or changing countertops typically do not require a permit.
Local custom cabinetry typically ranges from $15,000 to $40,000+ installed. Prices have risen due to a 50% tariff on certain imported components effective January 2026, adding roughly $3,000 to $8,000 to mid-range projects.
A standard mid-range renovation takes 6 to 10 weeks for construction. However, custom cabinet lead times in the London area currently average 10 to 14 weeks, meaning total project planning should start 4-6 months in advance.
London has a Temporary Building Permit Fee Waiver Program running until September 7, 2026. While primarily for new housing and Additional Residential Units (ARUs), some major structural renovations that create new living space may qualify for immediate cost reductions.
Minor cosmetic refreshes in London currently see the highest return, often recouping 85% to 110% of the investment. Major upscale remodels typically recoup closer to 50% to 60% of their cost in immediate resale value.
