Builders in Harrow

Choose the space you need most

If you are weighing up an extension against a loft conversion, begin with the way your household uses the home. A larger kitchen and dining room solves a different problem from an extra bedroom or a place to work upstairs.

We can discuss either route against the information you already have. Include any drawings, the rooms you need and how much of the existing house you want refurbished at the same time. This helps define the building scope before detailed pricing.

Connecting new work to the existing house

For a ground-floor extension, consider the access to the garden, the arrangement of existing rooms and the finishes you want carried through. For a loft conversion, include the proposed staircase and the effect on the floor below in your initial brief.

Access also matters. Photographs of the front of the property, any side passage and the proposed work area help introduce the site. Tell us whether the house will be occupied and whether materials can be stored within the property boundary.

Preparing a Harrow project enquiry

Harrow Council publishes building control application information and provides a route to request planning or building control history. If you already have drawings, approvals or information about previous alterations, include them with your enquiry.

An existing extension or conversion is useful context for a new proposal. Before settling on the build programme, check the requirements for your particular property with your designer or the council rather than relying on a neighbouring project.
