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.

What do you get with a house-to-flat conversion?

We assess the house against the council’s policies on flat sizes, parking, bins and cycle storage before any design work, then design layouts to the space standards your council uses. On site the critical work is fire separation, sound insulation between floors, separate services and meters, and protected escape routes.

Planning and building rules in Heston

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.

Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England. Councils assess flat sizes (many use the nationally described space standard), parking, bins, cycle storage and the effect on family housing supply.

What can affect a house-to-flat conversion?

Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.

Questions about a house-to-flat conversion in Heston

How much does a flat conversion cost?

How long does a conversion take?

Typically 16 to 30 weeks on site after approvals.

Can you visit a house in Heston to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
