How long does a renovation in Tenerife take: real timelines
Real timelines for bathroom, kitchen, flat and villa. Delay causes.
Timelines by type
Full bathroom: 10-18 working days. Full kitchen: 15-25. 70 m² mid-quality flat: 6-9 weeks. 200 m² villa: 12-20 weeks. 100 m² commercial unit: 5-8 weeks.
Why renovations get delayed
Materials not chosen in time: cause #1. Mid-project changes: each adds 3-7 days. Permit processing slower than expected. Structural surprises (hidden damp, obsolete services) in old flats.
How to keep on schedule
Close ALL materials (tiles, sanitaryware, units, taps) BEFORE starting. Sign a written schedule with milestones. Weekly visit with photo progress. Keep 10% time margin.
