Listed Building Refurbishment in Barnes.
Listed houses reward care and punish shortcuts. We have refurbished Grade I listed houses on the Regent's Park terraces and Grade II houses across central London, and the approach is the same each time: understand what is significant about the building, design interventions that are reversible and well detailed, and secure listed building consent before work starts.
In practice that means new kitchens and bathrooms that do not damage historic fabric, services run in existing voids, sash windows repaired rather than replaced, and plasterwork, joinery and floors restored by trades who work on listed buildings every week. Modern comfort and a historic interior are not in conflict if the detailing is right.
For a property in Barnes we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames at the first visit, explain exactly what is protected, and prepare the heritage statement, drawings and application. Conservation officers generally support schemes presented this way.

Barnes: the houses and the planning rules.
Barnes is a riverside village inside a loop of the Thames: Georgian houses on the Terrace, the Green with its pond, Victorian streets running back towards the Common, and the wide Castelnau estate leading to Hammersmith Bridge. It is quiet, well kept and closely protected.
The projects match the houses: refurbishments of Victorian family homes, side-return and rear extensions, lofts, and the occasional basement where the ground conditions near the river allow. Richmond's conservation guidance applies almost everywhere, and flood risk is checked on riverside sites.
The Barnes Green, Castelnau and Barnes Common conservation areas cover most of the village.
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
Richmond decides applications; Article 4 directions in the Barnes conservation areas mean most external changes need a full application.
River and flood risk
Riverside streets sit in the Environment Agency flood zone, which affects basements and requires a flood risk assessment.
Castelnau
The paired villas of the Castelnau estate have specific guidance on roofs, side extensions and boundary walls.
