Covering Ilford
We work in Ilford (IG1, IG4, IG5) and the places around it, including Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.
Homes in London
Much of London’s housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which is why side return extensions, rear dormers and mansards are so common. Many streets are in conservation areas, and several boroughs use Article 4 directions that remove some permitted development rights.
