Full Refurbishments in Harrow
Strip-out to final decoration — rewires, replumbs, new heating, structural alterations, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes, run as one programme by one team.
Refurbishments go wrong when trades are booked piecemeal and nobody owns the sequence. We run the whole programme: strip-out, structural work, first fix, plaster, second fix, decoration, in the right order with the right gaps for drying. You get one contact and one schedule rather than chasing six subcontractors.
Full Refurbishments in Harrow: what to know locally
Predominantly 1930s semi-detached and detached suburban housing, with larger plots and generous rear gardens compared with the inner West London boroughs.
The 1930s semi is the ideal loft conversion candidate — hip-to-gable plus a rear dormer transforms the roof space entirely, and the plot depth usually leaves room for a decent rear extension as well. Drives are often original and overdue replacement.
Planning authority: Harrow Council. Harrow is generally more permissive than the inner boroughs for rear extensions and loft conversions, with much of the suburban stock retaining full permitted development rights. Still worth checking for Article 4 coverage.

Full Refurbishments in Harrow — questions
Do you cover Harrow?
Yes — Harrow and the HA1, HA2, HA3 postcodes are part of our core working area, along with Wembley, Greenford, Kensal. Being local means a site visit within days rather than weeks.
Which council handles planning for Harrow?
Harrow Council. Harrow is generally more permissive than the inner boroughs for rear extensions and loft conversions, with much of the suburban stock retaining full permitted development rights. Still worth checking for Article 4 coverage.
Do I need to move out during a full refurbishment?
For a whole-house job, usually yes — there are periods with no water, no heating and no working kitchen. It also speeds the programme up considerably. For phased work room by room, staying is often workable.
How long does a whole-house refurbishment take?
A three-bedroom house is typically 12 to 20 weeks depending on structural work and how quickly decisions on finishes come back. Delays are far more often about choosing tiles than about the building work.
Can you work from an architect's drawings?
Yes, and we would rather you had them for anything structural. If you do not have drawings we can bring in an architect and a structural engineer as part of the package.
