Case Study: Hampstead Garden Suburbs

We increased usable floor area, modernised the aesthetic and improved the services while retaining key character.

FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a full refurb?

Most refurbishments fall under permitted development, but structural changes or external works may require planning. We advise and handle submissions if needed.

Can I live in the property during works?

Often yes. We can stage works (e.g., floor by floor) to minimise disruption. For heavy MEP phases, temporary accommodation may be recommended.

What’s included in your fixed price?

Everything in the signed scope and finishes schedule—labour, materials, plant, waste, certifications and warranty. Variations are only raised if you change scope.
