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

Ruislip: the houses and the planning rules.
Ruislip grew along the Metropolitan line in the 1930s and is still defined by that decade: wide roads of semi-detached and detached houses with hipped roofs, bay windows and long gardens, around a medieval village core with timber-framed cottages and the Manor Farm site. Ruislip Woods and Lido lie to the north.
We fitted out the Masala Chowk restaurant in Ruislip from strip-out to opening, and the surrounding housing is well suited to the rear extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and full refurbishments we carry out across Metroland.
The Ruislip Village conservation area covers the old village; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Hillingdon
Hillingdon decides applications. Outside the village conservation area, permitted development covers most rear extensions and lofts.
Hipped roofs
Hip-to-gable conversions are the usual way to make a 1930s loft usable, generally within permitted development limits.
Commercial units
Restaurant and shop fit-outs need Hillingdon's consent for shopfront and signage changes and, where cooking is introduced, for extraction.
Approvals for house refurbishment in Ruislip.
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 Ruislip: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Ruislip?
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 Ruislip do you cover?
All of Ruislip and HA4, including High Street, Kingsend, Eastcote Road, West End Road, Ickenham Road, Bury Street, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
