Local knowledge of Hatch End

Hatch End is a north-west London suburb with an Overground station and a village feel along Uxbridge Road. Homes in Hatch End include Edwardian and interwar houses.

With 1930s semis, a hip-to-gable loft conversion and a rear extension can transform the space, and both need careful structural design. Conservation area status in parts of Hatch End means demolition, extensions and roof changes face tighter controls, so we plan around them early. Victorian and Edwardian terraces share walls with their neighbours, so structural work is planned around party wall notices from the start.

What approvals does construction in Hatch End need?

Most construction projects in Hatch End 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 Hatch End are decided by Harrow Council. Parts of Hatch End 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 Hatch End: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Hatch End?

Yes. Hatch End is about 10 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Pinner and Harrow Weald.

Will structural work on my Victorian terrace in Hatch End affect my neighbours?

Often it will. Steel beams for a loft or knock-through usually bear on the party wall, and rear extensions dig near the neighbour's foundations, so Party Wall Act notices are usually needed 1 to 2 months before work starts.

Can a 1930s house in Hatch End 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 Hatch End?

Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Harrow 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.
