Flat Refurbishment in Wembley.
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 Wembley 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.

Wembley: the houses and the planning rules.
Wembley's residential streets, especially around Preston Road and Wembley Park, are classic 1930s suburbia: bay-fronted semis with side access, hipped roofs and long gardens. Few streets are in conservation areas, which makes this some of the most straightforward territory in London for extensions and lofts under permitted development.
We have refurbished two houses on Preston Road, one a complete fit-out from bare shell and one built around a new German kitchen with a granite worktop, new flooring, ceilings, plumbing and electrics.
There are few conservation areas and most streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Brent
Brent decides applications. Most Wembley houses have full permitted development rights for rear extensions and loft conversions.
Side extensions
The side access on 1930s semis often allows a single-storey side extension under permitted development, subject to width and height limits.
Building regulations
All structural work, lofts, rewiring and new bathrooms need building regulations approval and inspection; we arrange this with Brent building control or an approved inspector.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Wembley.
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 Wembley: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Wembley?
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 Wembley do you cover?
All of Wembley and HA9 · HA0, including Preston Road, Forty Avenue, Wembley Park Drive, Carlton Avenue East, Harrow Road, East Lane, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
