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

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.

House Refurbishment in Stanmore: your questions.
How long does a house refurbishment take in Stanmore?
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 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.
