“As per the duration of a project, it cannot be estimated without the full details. If you want to plan ahead, for alternative accommodation for example, we recommend at least: For smaller flat refurbishment, approximately 4 to 6 months.”
“We always recommend that you arrange for alternative accommodation during the project. Some of our clients choose to live at the property during the work, and, of course, we make that possible. However, please be advised that this arrangement comes with a significant increases in stress, cost and duration of the project.”
“Yes we can. We collaborate with top architects specialising in London house refurbishment and renovation planning which allows us to create designs that suit you and your needs.”
“We certainly can! We work with the best architects in London through a tender process, for clients that choose to have the designs for their refurbishment made by an independent architect. We can provide quotes in our own very detailed format or in your architect’s preferred format.”
“Almost always for external changes. Article 4 directions remove many permitted development rights, so dormers, extensions and even some window replacements need a full application (£548 for householders). Heritage-led design is decisive: our Bedford Park penthouse won consent on the strength of detailed heritage reports.”
“Most of Chiswick W4 falls under Hounslow, but the northern streets around Acton Green and Southfield are Ealing, and Bedford Park straddles the boundary. Check your address on either council's site, or ask us; we work with both planning departments regularly.”
“Many rear and side-return extensions on Chiswick houses fall within permitted development, subject to depth and height limits. Conservation areas and Article 4 directions remove some rights, and flats have none. A lawful development certificate (£274) confirms your position in writing before you build.”
“A rear dormer on a Chiswick terrace typically costs £50,000-£90,000. High-specification conversions with en-suites and bespoke joinery typically run £90,000-£160,000, and full mansards £130,000-£210,000. Conservation-area constraints in Bedford Park or Grove Park add heritage and design costs.”
