Covering Kilburn
Kilburn is about 4 miles north-west of London. We also cover Cricklewood (1 miles to the west), Camden Town and Willesden.
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 goes into a house-to-flat conversion?
A house-to-flat conversion divides a single house into two or more self-contained flats, each with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom. It always needs planning permission and full building regulations approval, particularly for fire separation and sound insulation between flats.
- Planning application and layouts to space standards
- Fire separation and sound insulation between flats
- Bin, cycle and amenity space works

Planning and building rules in Kilburn
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
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 should I think about before starting?
- Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
