Flat Refurbishment in South Harrow.
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 South Harrow 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.

South Harrow: the houses and the planning rules.
South Harrow sits below Harrow on the Hill, with the Piccadilly line station at its centre and streets of 1930s semis and terraces running out towards Rayners Lane and Northolt. The older houses climb Roxeth Hill towards the school, and the plots on the flatter streets are generous.
We have built extensions and lofts in Rayners Lane and the surrounding roads for years. The pattern is a rear extension across the full width of the house, a hip-to-gable loft, and often a refurbishment of the kitchen and bathrooms in the same programme.
The Roxeth Hill conservation area covers the slope up to Harrow on the Hill; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow decides applications. Outside the Roxeth Hill conservation area, most single-storey extensions and lofts are permitted development.
Roxeth Hill
Within the conservation area, front alterations and roof changes visible from the street need a full application.
Party walls
Semi-detached and terraced houses share walls with neighbours; party wall notices are served before structural work.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in South Harrow.
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 South Harrow: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in South Harrow?
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 South Harrow do you cover?
All of South Harrow and HA2, including Northolt Road, Roxeth Hill, Shaftesbury Avenue, Eastcote Lane, Alexandra Avenue, Walton Road, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
