Cyprus · every trade we price
What things cost in Cyprus,and what each figure rests on.
One page for every range this site publishes, across building, renovation and energy work. Each row carries its own basis rather than a single claim covering all of them, because the rows were not built the same way and pretending otherwise is how a price guide stops being useful.

01The index
13 services.Every figure carries its source.
Units differ because the trades quote differently. A worktop is priced per metre, a bathroom per room, solar per installed kWp. Comparing across rows is meaningless; comparing within one is the point.
| Work | Indicative range | Midpoint | Published sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air conditioningOne wall-mounted split unit serving a 15-60 m2 room, supplied and installed: equipment EUR 400-1,100 plus EUR 150-300 installation labour. Excludes core drilling (EUR 30-60), piping beyond the standard run (EUR 30/m) and removal of an old unit (EUR 30-50). Multi-split systems run EUR 1,500-5,000 and ducted systems considerably more. | €550–€1,300per indoor unit | €850 | |
| Double glazingUpgrading one average domestic window opening to a double or low-E glazed unit, supplied and fitted. Low end is the entry price for fitting an energy-rated aluminium frame; the €500–1,000 band is what Cypriot guides put on energy-efficient glazing per window. Applies to a standard-size opening — large sliding or balcony units cost more. Excludes VAT and scaffolding. | €200–€1,000per window | €500 | |
| FlooringSupplied and laid floor finish on a prepared subfloor, combining published Cypriot laying rates with published Cypriot material prices. Laying alone is quoted at €22/m² for ceramic tile, €32/m² for granite or marble and €16/m² for polished concrete; materials at €15–50/m² for ceramic tile, €20–40/m² for laminate and €50–100/m² for wood parquet. Low end is budget ceramic tile, high end is wood parquet. Excludes subfloor levelling, skirting and VAT. | €35–€130per m² | €60 | |
| Home renovationFull internal renovation of an existing home or apartment, per m² of floor area: demolition and waste removal, electrical and plumbing upgrade, flooring and tiling, painting, kitchen and bathroom replacement. Low end is a cosmetic refresh with no wall or service changes; high end is a premium fit-out with custom joinery. Excludes VAT, structural extension and furniture. | €300–€1,400per m² | €700 | |
| InsulationThermal insulation of the roof of an existing Cyprus dwelling, materials and labour, specified to bring the average roof U-value to no more than 0.40 W/m2K as the state grant requires. Price depends on roof area, insulation material and method, and on whether the parapet also has to be insulated. The RES and Energy Saving Fund grant covers 50 percent of eligible cost capped at EUR 2,500 or EUR 25/m2, whichever is lower, rising to 75 percent and EUR 37.50/m2 for vulnerable households and by a further 50 percent in mountainous areas. Screed and a waterproofing layer on top are additional. | €25–€40per m² | €30 |
|
| Painting and decoratingInterior or exterior painting, measured per m2 of surface actually painted rather than floor area. Cyprus professional rates run EUR 8-20/m2; for scale, a 12-15 m2 room comes to EUR 150-350 including materials and labour, and a three-bedroom apartment starts around EUR 800-1,500. Quality exterior paint is EUR 30-60 per 5 litres. Walls in poor condition, crack and damp repair, and work needing scaffolding push toward the top of the range. | €8–€20per m² | €14 |
|
| PergolaMade-to-measure metal pergola structure, per m² of covered area. Low end is a basic custom design; the middle band covers powder-coated or galvanised finishes; the high end is ornate or corrosion-resistant steel. Installation is quoted separately at €500–2,000 depending on complexity, and motorised louvres, glass panels or heating add €1,000–5,000+. Excludes groundworks, permits and VAT. | €150–€1,000per m² | €400 | |
| PlasteringHand-applied plaster on surfaces up to 200 m2, labour only and ex-VAT. Material is quoted separately at EUR 2.50-3.50/m2 delivered to ground floor, and scaffolding erection is explicitly not included. The upper end covers surface preparation and finishing. This is a Greek market reference: no published Cyprus per-m2 plastering rate was found. For Cyprus context, plasterers and painters on the island are quoted at EUR 20-30 per hour. | €8–€15per m² | €12 | |
| RoofingSupply and installation of a clay or concrete tile roof covering. The range is the published Cyprus material cost for clay and concrete tiles (EUR 15-35/m2) added to the published professional installation rate (EUR 20-40/m2); both components are stated separately by the source and are combined here. Excludes the structural deck or trusses, insulation and waterproofing. Slate raises the material component to EUR 40-70/m2, and steep or hard-to-access roofs push labour to the top of its band. | €35–€75per m² | €55 | |
| Solar panel installationTurnkey grid-tied residential rooftop PV: modules, inverter, mounting, electrical work and the EAC grid-connection application. Excludes battery storage and any government grant. Small 3 kWp systems sit at the top of the range, 10 kWp systems at the bottom, because fixed costs are spread over more capacity. | €1,100–€2,000per kWp | €1,400 |
|
| Solar water heatingComplete domestic solar water heater (storage tank plus collectors) as sold in Cyprus. Low and median reflect retail equipment prices for 160-200 L double- and triple-energy units; the high figure is a 300 L pressurised system with two 2.5 m2 collectors, support stand and installation kit. Fitting labour is not separately evidenced in these sources and may be additional. | €1,000–€2,500per system | €1,300 | |
| Swimming pool constructionBuilding a private in-ground pool as a whole project. The low figure is a Cypriot installer's worked example of a 4×12 m skimmer pool at roughly €20,000 (shell €15,000, patio €4,000, outdoor shower €800); the mid figure is the cited average for a well-built in-ground pool; the high end is the top of the published in-ground range for larger concrete pools. Overflow pools run about 50% above the equivalent skimmer pool, and decking, fencing, heating or lighting add more. Excludes permits, landscaping and VAT. | €20,000–€100,000per pool | €35,000 |
|
| WaterproofingWaterproofing of roofs, terraces, basements and wet rooms, materials and labour. Cyprus contractors quote from EUR 8/m2 for a basic liquid application; a published Greek trade price list puts complete systems at EUR 20/m2 for asphalt membrane, EUR 25/m2 for polyurethane membrane and EUR 35/m2 for cementitious systems, ex-VAT. Basement walls and lift pits are normally quoted only after inspection. Cost depends heavily on which surface is treated and on substrate condition. | €8–€35per m² | €20 |
Indicative range compiled from published sources, not a quote. It shows the level those sources report for this kind of work, not what your job costs. Only a site visit and a written quote for your actual scope produce a real figure. Sources compiled 2026-08-02.
02Reading the numbers
A range is not a price.It is where the sources landed.
Where the figure came from
Each row cites what it was compiled from and when we read it. Some sources are Cypriot; where no Cypriot figure is published, the note says the level is Greek or EU and you should weigh it accordingly.
District moves the figure
Travel, access and local demand all move what a job costs, and none of the published sources break down by district. So nothing here does either — a district figure would be us inventing one. For your own district, the answer comes from quotes for your own job.
Scope is the usual surprise
The note under each service says what the figure includes. Most of the gap between two quotes for “the same job” is that they were not the same job.
03Where to go next
