Design & Build in Muswell Hill.

Design and build means we take responsibility for the whole project, from the first sketch to the day you move back in. There is one contract, one programme and one person to call, and the people who drew the scheme are in the same office as the people building it.

For a house or flat in Muswell Hill that covers the measured survey, concept and developed design, planning and building regulation drawings, the applications themselves, construction by our own site team, the kitchen and bathrooms we supply, joinery, decoration and handover with a guarantee on the work.

The advantage is simple: nothing falls between an architect, a planning consultant and a builder, because they are the same team. Problems are solved on the drawing board rather than on site, and the price and programme are set before work starts.

Muswell Hill: the houses and the planning rules.

Muswell Hill was built almost in one go between 1896 and 1914, which is why it is so coherent: wide avenues of red-brick Edwardian houses with tiled paths, stained glass and generous rooms, radiating from the Broadway. The houses are large, the gardens are long and the roofs have room to convert.

It is a family-house market, and the projects match: side-return and rear extensions for open-plan kitchens, loft conversions with rear dormers, and refurbishments that keep the Edwardian detail while renewing everything behind it.

The Muswell Hill Conservation Area covers the Edwardian centre and the avenues around it.

London Borough of Haringey

Haringey decides applications. Within the conservation area, front alterations and roof changes visible from the street need permission; rear extensions are often permitted development.

Lofts

Edwardian roofs generally offer good headroom; rear dormers are usually permitted development outside Article 4 streets.

Trees and gardens

Mature street and garden trees are often protected; we check for tree preservation orders before designing extensions.

Approvals for design and build in Muswell Hill.

All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
