We carry out house extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in West Drayton. The area mixes older homes near the old village with interwar and newer streets.
Planning in West Drayton
West Drayton is in the London Borough of Hillingdon, and Hillingdon Council decides planning applications. The area has older buildings near the village centre, and open land to the north and west that is Green Belt. Check the address on the council’s map before planning any larger work.
Homes and typical work
Housing ranges from older cottages and terraces to semi-detached houses and some modern flats and new-build estates. The jobs we are asked about most are single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishment of older houses that need work to wiring, plumbing and floors.
Points particular to West Drayton
- Heathrow is near, so aircraft noise affects bedrooms, and acoustic glazing and insulation are worth planning for.
- West Drayton is on the Elizabeth line, and good transport links are one reason owners choose to extend a home they like, not move.
- Next to the Grand Union Canal, ground and drainage conditions can vary, so we look at them at the visit.
