Homes in London
London projects often mean working on period terraces with neighbours on both sides, tight access through the house and conservation area controls, so careful planning and party wall work matter as much as the build.
What is included in a garage conversion in Northolt?
Most integral garages already have the walls and roof; what they need is a new insulated floor, an infilled front wall with a window, and heating. We check whether your permitted development rights are intact, handle building control and finish the room ready to use.
- Building control application
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Heating, electrics and data points

What approvals does a garage conversion need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
An internal garage conversion is usually permitted development in England unless the house is listed, an Article 4 direction applies, or it is on an estate where the planning permission removed permitted development rights.
What should Northolt homeowners check first?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
