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

Northwood: the houses and the planning rules.
Northwood grew up around the Metropolitan line station in the early 1900s, with substantial Edwardian houses along the tree-lined roads to the east and inter-war housing filling the rest. Plots are large, the houses are detached, and the neighbouring Moor Park estate raises the ceiling on what owners will invest.
The projects here are among the largest we do outside central London: double-storey rear extensions, full refurbishments with new services and layouts, new kitchens and bathrooms throughout, and loft conversions within the deep hipped roofs.
The Northwood Frithwood and Green Lane conservation areas cover parts of the district; most streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Hillingdon
Hillingdon decides applications. Large plots mean most single-storey extensions are permitted development, while double-storey schemes need a householder application.
Conservation areas
In the Frithwood and Green Lane areas, external changes are assessed against the conservation area appraisal, with attention to trees and boundary treatments.
Moor Park
On the Moor Park estate, the residents' association has its own covenants and approval process alongside planning.
Approvals for house refurbishment in Northwood.
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 Northwood: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Northwood?
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 Northwood do you cover?
All of Northwood and HA6, including Green Lane, Frithwood Avenue, Watford Road, Murray Road, Dene Road, Eastbury Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
