We take on building work across the London Borough of Hillingdon: Hayes, West Drayton, Uxbridge, Ruislip, Northwood and the villages around them. This page covers the borough, and the pages for the individual towns give more local detail.
Planning in the borough
Hillingdon Council is the local planning authority. The borough is large and varied, with conservation areas, listed buildings and a good deal of Green Belt in the north and west, so the planning position depends heavily on where the property is. Check the address with the council before you plan work.
Homes across the borough
The south has interwar and post-war suburbs around Hayes, with Heathrow close by. The centre and north include Uxbridge, Ruislip and Northwood, with larger houses and more mature gardens. Typical work ranges from a rear extension on a semi to a larger scheme on a detached house.
Points particular to the borough
- Green Belt land affects larger schemes in parts of the borough.
- Heathrow flight paths make acoustic glazing and insulation worth considering in the south.
- Conservation areas and locally listed buildings are common in the older centres.
