Flat Refurbishment in Edgware.
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 Edgware 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.

Edgware: the houses and the planning rules.
Edgware is the northern end of the Northern line and one of the most generously planned of the inter-war suburbs: wide avenues of 1930s detached and semi-detached houses, the larger homes around Canons Park and up towards Edgwarebury, and a town centre that is being rebuilt with new apartments.
The plots are wide enough for side extensions as well as rear ones, which opens up the whole ground floor, and the hipped roofs convert well. We do full refurbishments, double-storey extensions and lofts here, and the detached houses around Canons Park attract projects at the top of the suburban market.
The Edgware Conservation Area covers a small part of the old High Street and Canons Park; most streets are unrestricted.
Barnet and Harrow
Edgware straddles the two boroughs; Barnet covers most of it. Both allow most single-storey extensions and lofts under permitted development outside the conservation area.
Side extensions
Single-storey side extensions up to half the width of the house are usually permitted development; two-storey side extensions need a householder application.
Canons Park
Around Canons Park, the conservation area and protected trees affect what can be built and how close to the boundary.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Edgware.
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 Edgware: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Edgware?
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 Edgware do you cover?
All of Edgware and HA8, including Edgwarebury Lane, Broadfields Avenue, Canons Drive, Green Lane, Hale Lane, Penshurst Gardens, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
