Listed Building Refurbishment in Ealing.

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 Ealing we check the National Heritage List and the conservation area maps published by the London Borough of Ealing 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.

Ealing: the houses and the planning rules.

Ealing, the Queen of the Suburbs, has some of the best family housing in west London: substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses around Ealing Common and Haven Green, red-brick villas along the roads towards Ealing Broadway, and the Arts and Crafts cottages of Brentham Garden Suburb. Several districts are conservation areas.

We have completed two bathroom refurbishments and a fitted kitchen in Ealing, one with a freestanding black bath and walk-in shower, one with Italian tiles and bespoke furniture, and a handle-less kitchen with a quartz island.

The Ealing Common, Ealing Green, Haven Green, Castlebar and Brentham Garden Suburb conservation areas cover the older streets.

London Borough of Ealing

Ealing decides applications. Outside the conservation areas, rear extensions and lofts are often permitted development; within them, Article 4 directions apply on many streets.

Edwardian houses

Deep plans with rear additions suit side-return and wraparound extensions; the roofs generally have enough headroom for a dormer loft.

Brentham Garden Suburb

Tight controls on external changes; internal refurbishment is unaffected but needs building regulations approval.
