Construction in Pinner: local homes and constraints

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.

Historic cottages may have timber frames or soft brick and flint walls, so structural changes are planned around the original fabric. Larger detached properties lend themselves to ambitious projects such as double-storey extensions or replacement homes. Conservation area status in parts of Pinner means demolition, extensions and roof changes face tighter controls, so we plan around them early.

What approvals does construction in Pinner need?

Most construction projects in Pinner 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 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.

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 Pinner: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Pinner?

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.

Can a 1930s house in Pinner 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.

What should I check before building onto an older property in Pinner?

Check whether it is listed or in a conservation area, how the existing walls and foundations are built, and whether it uses lime mortar. The structural engineer and building control will want to see that the new structure suits the old.

Can you build a new house in Pinner?

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.
