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 house renovation in Shepherd's Bush?

We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.

Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms

How is a house renovation approved in Shepherd's Bush?

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.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.

What should I think about before starting?

Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
