Refurbishment, extensions, lofts, kitchens and bathrooms for homes in Harrow, designed, approved and built by one team.

Building in Harrow.

Harrow is Metroland: the streets around Harrow-on-the-Hill, North Harrow and Rayners Lane were built between the wars for commuters on the Metropolitan line, with generous semi-detached houses on plots that suit rear extensions and loft conversions. On the Hill itself, the village around the school is older, with Victorian and Georgian houses inside a conservation area.

It is one of our busiest areas. We have built a rear extension with bi-fold doors and a new kitchen in Rayners Lane, a loft and six-metre rear extension in Harrow on the Hill, refurbished a house in North Harrow, and fitted out cafés in St George's shopping centre and at the bus station.

The Harrow on the Hill Village and Roxeth Hill conservation areas cover the Hill; most of the borough is unrestricted.

Planning in Harrow.

London Borough of Harrow

Harrow decides applications. Outside the Hill's conservation areas, most rear extensions and loft conversions fall within permitted development, subject to the usual size limits.

Permitted development

Single-storey rear extensions up to 3 metres, or 6 metres with prior approval, and rear dormers within 50 cubic metres are typical. A lawful development certificate is worth obtaining for resale.

Harrow on the Hill

Within the village conservation area, extensions and roof changes need a planning application and matching materials.
