Building in Eastcote: what to expect

Eastcote is a north-west London suburb with Metropolitan and Piccadilly line trains, Eastcote House Gardens and an old village conservation area. Homes in Eastcote include 1930s Metro-land semis and some older cottages.

Conservation area status in parts of Eastcote means demolition, extensions and roof changes face tighter controls, so we plan around them early. With 1930s semis, a hip-to-gable loft conversion and a rear extension can transform the space, and both need careful structural design.

What approvals does construction in Eastcote need?

Most construction projects in Eastcote need Building Regulations approval, and many also need planning permission. New houses always need full planning permission, while some extensions can use permitted development.

Planning applications in Eastcote are decided by Hillingdon Council. Parts of Eastcote are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected.

If the work affects a shared wall or involves digging near a neighbour's foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies too; see our guide to the Party Wall Act and the GOV.UK guide to Building Regulations approval.

We line up approvals, structural calculations and any party wall notices before work starts; see how our build process works.

Construction in Eastcote: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Eastcote?

Yes. Eastcote is about 12 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Pinner and Hatch End.

Can a 1930s house in Eastcote take a double-storey extension?

Often, yes, if the plot allows. A two-storey side extension always needs planning permission, and the design has to work with the existing hipped roof and the neighbouring house.

Can you build a new house in Eastcote?

Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Hillingdon Council and Building Regulations approval, and we build to the approved drawings.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall?

Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall needs a structural engineer's calculations for the new beam and Building Regulations approval. We prop the structure safely, install the beam on padstones and make good, so the room is ready to decorate.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

If the work affects a shared wall, or you dig foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour's building (6 metres in some cases), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies. You must serve notice: 2 months before work on a party wall and 1 month before excavations.
