Covering Richmond
Richmond sits 8 miles west of London, with Isleworth 2 miles to the north-west and Hounslow 2 miles to the west.
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 does a house-to-flat conversion involve?
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

Priced on survey.
Do you need permission for a house-to-flat conversion in Richmond?
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.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
