For construction in Harrow, we handle the structural work and everything that follows it. Typical projects include:

The London Borough of Harrow takes in Harrow on the Hill, Pinner, Stanmore, Hatch End, Harrow Weald and Wealdstone. Homes across Harrow include 1930s Metro-land semis, Victorian and Edwardian homes and several conservation areas.
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 Harrow 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.
Most construction projects in Harrow 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 Harrow are decided by Harrow Council. Parts of Harrow 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 Harrow needs a builder you can trust with structure, safety and budget. This is what you get with us:
“We have used them twice, exceptional overall - very good after care and communication.”
Yes. Harrow is about 13 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Pinner and Stanmore.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We take on everything from internal alterations and single-storey extensions to double-storey extensions and complete new homes. No job is too big or small, so tell us what you're planning and we'll arrange a free visit.
We work across the area, including construction in Pinner, construction in Stanmore, construction in Hatch End, construction in Harrow Weald and construction in Little Stanmore. See every place on our areas we cover page.
