We carry out house extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Uxbridge. It is the main town of Hillingdon, and the homes range from period houses near the centre to interwar and post-war streets on the edges.
Planning in Uxbridge
Uxbridge is in the London Borough of Hillingdon, and the council has its offices in the town. The centre includes conservation areas and listed buildings, so permitted development is limited there. Check the address on Hillingdon Council’s planning map before you plan the work.
Homes and typical work
Housing includes older terraces and cottages near the centre, interwar semi-detached houses and newer flats. We are often asked about single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishing an older house while keeping its character.
Points particular to Uxbridge
- Near the centre, original features, windows and materials may need to be kept or matched, and the council can ask for it.
- Older properties need an eye on damp, floors and electrics, which a good refurbishment deals with at the start.
- The canal and the river valley near Uxbridge mean that drainage and groundwater are worth checking on some plots.
