Refurbishment & building in Chiswick.

We know
Chiswick.

Chiswick is a settled family market built on Victorian and Edwardian houses, with the arts-and-crafts streets of Bedford Park among the most distinctive housing stock in west London.

Bedford Park and several surrounding streets are conservation areas, so extensions, roof lines and windows are handled with planning in mind. Elsewhere in W4 there is more freedom for rear and side-return work.

The typical Chiswick brief is a loft conversion, a rear or side-return extension, or a full family-home refurbishment.

Gas and electrical
certificates in Chiswick.

Chiswick's Victorian and Edwardian houses, Bedford Park and the mansion blocks along the high road all have their own quirks: older consumer units, original wiring hidden behind period plaster, and boilers in cupboards that were never designed for them. Gas Safe registered engineers and registered electricians cover W4 for landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) and EICRs.

We work tidily in occupied period homes and book around tenants. Where an EICR records C1, C2 or FI items, we quote the remedial work, carry it out and reissue the report, so you are not left chasing a second contractor. Certificates are emailed the day the inspection is completed.

Family houses
built to last.

Chiswick is mostly late Victorian and Edwardian family houses on long, regular streets either side of the high road, with Bedford Park's red brick to the north, the cottages of Strand on the Green along the river, and larger houses around Grove Park. Most were built well, and most are now being asked to work for modern family life.

Kitchen and side-return extensions

The most common Chiswick project is opening up the back of the house: a side-return or wraparound extension with a large kitchen and doors to the garden. Steelwork, drainage and the party wall with next door all need planning early.

Lofts

Dormer and L-shaped loft conversions add a bedroom and bathroom. On some streets the council restricts what can be added at the front or side, so the design has to fit the street.

Keeping the period character

Original sash windows, tiled paths, fireplaces and plasterwork add value in W4. We repair and match them rather than strip them out.

Projects we
price most often.

In Chiswick we are mostly asked for house extensions, loft conversions, whole-house refurbishments, windows and doors and outside repairs such as roofs and garden walls. Families letting out a flat or house also ask us for EICRs and gas safety records.

Bedford Park,
the river and beyond.

Chiswick is in the London Borough of Hounslow and has several conservation areas, including Bedford Park, Strand on the Green and Grove Park. Some have Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights for things like front windows, doors and roofs, and many Bedford Park houses are listed. Before we price an extension or loft we check which rules apply to your street.

Streets we
work on most.

Our Chiswick work is spread across Grove Park, the streets between Turnham Green and the high road, the Glebe Estate, Strand on the Green and the Bedford Park edge. The house types change from street to street, so we always look at the property before suggesting how to extend or refurbish it.

What happens
after you call.

1. Start with the brief

   Tell us how you want the house to work. Drawings help, but a clear list of what you need is enough to start.

2. Site visit

   We look at the structure, drainage and access, and explain what is straightforward and what is not.

3. Price you can rely on

   A written fixed quote, broken down by stage, agreed before work starts.

4. Built in the right order

   Steel, drainage, first fix, plaster, kitchen and decoration are sequenced and managed by one contact, so the house is back in use as soon as possible.
