House Refurbishment in Marylebone.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Marylebone it usually means stripping back to the structure, rewiring and replumbing, replanning the ground floor around a new kitchen, fitting new bathrooms and then bringing back the detail that gives the house its character: cornices, joinery, fireplaces and sash windows.
We run the whole job. Our architects draw the new layout, our engineers design any structural openings, and our own site team builds it, so there is one programme, one quotation and one person to call. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed and supplied by us rather than by a subcontractor.
Every refurbishment starts with a site visit and a measured survey. From that we produce drawings, an itemised specification and a programme, so you know exactly what is being done before anyone lifts a tool.

Marylebone: the houses and the planning rules.
Marylebone is where Space Cucina started, as a kitchen company on Seymour Place. The district is a grid of Georgian and early Victorian streets laid out by the Portman and Howard de Walden estates: flat-fronted brick terraces, stucco around the squares, mews houses behind, and the great mansion blocks of Marylebone Road and Baker Street.
Most of the housing is now flats, from mansion-block apartments to lateral conversions across two houses, which makes refurbishment here as much about approvals and logistics as about design: licences to alter, estate consent, parking suspensions and lift access all shape the programme. We have refurbished bathrooms on Marylebone Road and fitted kitchens for clients across the district.
The Portman Estate, Harley Street and Dorset Square conservation areas cover almost all of it.
Westminster City Council
Applications go to Westminster. Almost the whole district is within conservation areas, and many terraces are Grade II listed, so internal changes to listed houses need listed building consent.
Estate consent
On the Portman and Howard de Walden estates, the freeholder's own approval is needed in addition to planning, with their own design guidance for windows, roofs and rear elevations.
Mansion flats
Block rules govern working hours, deliveries and noise. We plan the programme around them and coordinate with the managing agent.
Approvals for house refurbishment in Marylebone.

House Refurbishment in Marylebone: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Marylebone?
A whole house with structural changes, a new kitchen and two or three bathrooms usually takes four to six months on site. We give a written programme with the quotation and report progress weekly.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
For a partial refurbishment, usually yes: we keep a bathroom and a basic kitchen working and seal off the rooms we are in. For a full strip-out it is faster, cleaner and cheaper to move out for the duration.
