House Refurbishment in Highgate.
A full refurbishment is the project that resets a house. In Highgate 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.

Highgate: the houses and the planning rules.
Highgate village sits on the hill above the Heath, a cluster of Georgian houses around the High Street and Pond Square, with large Victorian villas on the slopes towards the cemetery and Hampstead Lane, and 1930s and modernist houses on the estates around Highgate Wood. The conservation area is one of the oldest in London.
The houses are individual and so are the projects: restoring Georgian interiors, extending Victorian villas across steep gardens, and modernising mid-century houses while respecting their architecture. Two boroughs meet here, and we handle whichever one applies.
The Highgate Conservation Area covers the village and surrounding streets, and many of the older houses are listed.
Camden and Haringey
The borough boundary crosses the village; Camden covers the west side and Haringey the east, each with its own conservation area guidance and application process.
Listed houses
Much of the High Street, the Grove and Pond Square is listed, so internal work needs listed building consent.
Slopes and trees
Steep sites and protected trees affect extensions and basements; a topographical and tree survey is the starting point.
Approvals for house refurbishment in Highgate.
Internal refurbishment does not normally need planning permission, but it does need building regulations approval for structural work, electrics, plumbing and insulation, and listed houses need listed building consent for most internal changes.

House Refurbishment in Highgate: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Highgate?
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.
Which parts of Highgate do you cover?
All of Highgate and N6, including The Grove, Highgate High Street, Southwood Lane, Hampstead Lane, Bisham Gardens, Fitzroy Park, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
