Flat Refurbishment in Enfield.
Refurbishing a flat is a different job from refurbishing a house. The design questions are the same, but the approvals, the logistics and the neighbours are not. In Enfield most flats sit in mansion blocks or converted houses, which means a freeholder or managing agent to satisfy, restricted working hours, lift and stair access to plan, and sound insulation between floors to prove at inspection.
We handle all of it. Before work starts we prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder needs for a licence to alter, agree deliveries and hours with the building, and protect the common parts. On site, our own team does the strip-out, services, joinery, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration, so the flat is closed up and finished in one continuous programme.
Because we supply the Italian and German kitchens and the bathroom furniture ourselves, we can design the whole flat as one scheme and order everything at once, which matters when access is difficult and every delivery has to be booked.

Enfield: the houses and the planning rules.
Enfield is a market town on the northern edge of London with a wide mix of housing: Victorian terraces near the stations, Edwardian semis on the avenues, 1930s houses across much of the borough and larger properties towards Forty Hill and the green belt. The town centre and Forty Hill are conservation areas.
We designed, supplied and fitted a white high-gloss kitchen with a 50 mm black granite worktop and Neff appliances on Lea Street, and the borough's family houses are well suited to extensions, lofts and full refurbishments.
The Enfield Town, Forty Hill and Clay Hill conservation areas cover the historic centre; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Enfield
Enfield decides applications. Most streets outside the conservation areas have full permitted development rights.
Terraces
Side-return and rear extensions on the Victorian terraces near Enfield Town usually engage the Party Wall Act; we serve notices as part of the project.
Green belt edge
Properties towards the green belt and in Forty Hill face tighter limits on extensions and outbuildings.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Enfield.
Flats need a licence to alter from the freeholder or managing agent as well as building regulations approval; the sound insulation between flats is checked at inspection, and any change to the exterior, including windows, needs planning permission.

Flat Refurbishment in Enfield: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Enfield?
Almost always, through a licence to alter. We prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder or managing agent asks for and build their approval time into the programme so it does not hold up the start.
How long does a flat refurbishment take?
A two-bedroom flat typically takes eight to twelve weeks on site once approvals are in place. Lift access, parking and the block's working hours all affect the programme, so we plan around them from the outset.
Which parts of Enfield do you cover?
