Flat Refurbishment in Stanmore.
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 Stanmore 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.

Stanmore: the houses and the planning rules.
Stanmore sits at the end of the Jubilee line, with larger houses and larger plots than most of north-west London: substantial 1930s semis and detached houses on tree-lined roads, and bigger detached houses on the slopes towards Stanmore Common. The old village around Stanmore Hill and the churches is a conservation area.
Our Stanmore loft conversion turned unused roof space into a master bedroom with roof windows on both pitches and an en-suite, with the rest of the house refurbished to match. The detached and semi-detached stock here suits hip-to-gable lofts and double-storey rear extensions particularly well.
The Stanmore Hill and Old Church Lane conservation areas cover the old village; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow is the planning authority. Most Stanmore houses are outside conservation areas, so permitted development covers many extensions and lofts.
Hip-to-gable lofts
Common on Stanmore's hipped-roof semis; usually permitted development within the 50 cubic metre allowance, with materials matching the existing roof.
Larger schemes
Two-storey extensions, wraparounds and anything in the Stanmore Hill conservation area need a planning application.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Stanmore.
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 Stanmore: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Stanmore?
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 Stanmore do you cover?
All of Stanmore and HA7, including Stanmore Hill, The Broadway, Old Church Lane, Marsh Lane, Uxbridge Road, Green Lane, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
