Pinner is known for its medieval High Street, the annual Pinner Fair and the Heath Robinson Museum. Homes in Pinner include timber-framed High Street buildings and 1930s semis and detached houses.
1930s semi-detached houses are classic candidates for hip-to-gable loft conversions and wraparound rear extensions. Older cottages need a gentle approach: solid walls, low ceilings and lime mortars all affect how an extension is designed and built. Larger detached homes here often suit substantial rear or side extensions, garage conversions and kitchen-diner knock-throughs.
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions in Pinner can go ahead under permitted development, but the limits are strict and some homes have lost those rights.
Planning applications in Pinner are decided by Harrow Council. Parts of Pinner are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected.
Whatever the planning position, extensions and loft and garage conversions need Building Regulations approval, which covers structure, fire safety, insulation and ventilation. Our guide to planning permission for house extensions explains the limits, and the Planning Portal guide to extensions has interactive examples.
Every project starts with a free visit and a written quote; see how an extension project with us works, step by step.
Choosing builders in Pinner is a big decision, so here is what you get with us:
“They kept on time and on budget. It was a downstairs kitchen bathroom extension so obviously disruptive but made it as easy as possible.”
Yes. Pinner is about 11 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Hatch End and Eastcote.
Usually, yes. Hip-to-gable and rear dormer conversions are common on 1930s semis and are often permitted development within the 50 cubic metre allowance, unless the house is in a conservation area. Building Regulations approval is always needed.
Yes, with care. Older cottages often have solid walls, shallow foundations and lime mortar, so the design needs to tie old and new together properly. If the cottage is listed, listed building consent is needed for most changes.
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions are allowed under permitted development, within limits such as 3 metres deep for an attached house (4 metres for a detached one) and 4 metres high. Parts of Pinner are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected. Applications in Pinner are decided by Harrow Council. A Lawful Development Certificate gives written confirmation if you're unsure.
Every extension is priced individually, so we give a free, itemised written quote after visiting your home. The main things that move the price are size, the number of storeys, foundations and ground conditions, structural steelwork, glazing, and the kitchen or bathroom fittings you choose.
Councils aim to decide householder planning applications within 8 weeks, and Building Regulations approval can run alongside. Build time depends on size and specification, so we set out a written programme with your quote.
Yes. Our team covers carpentry, bricklaying, roofing, plastering, painting and decorating, and kitchen fitting, and we manage the project from design to completion, so you deal with one firm rather than several contractors.
As well as Pinner, we cover nearby areas such as builders in Hatch End, builders in Eastcote, builders in Harrow Weald and builders in Northwood. See every place on our areas we cover page.
