Question 1

What does it typically cost to refit a kitchen and bathroom in a W2 Bayswater mansion flat?

Accepted Answer

Replacing both a kitchen and a bathroom in a Bayswater mansion-flat conversion — stripping to the walls, reconfiguring where space allows, installing new sanitary ware, cabinetry, and tiling, and making good the plasterwork throughout — generally runs between £25,000 and £60,000, with room proportions and the specification of the fittings driving the figure. Leasehold flats in W2 will also need freeholder consent before any layout changes start; we prepare the licence-to-alter supporting documents as a costed line in the contract. The itemised quote is issued on the day of the site visit.

Question 2

Which parts of Bayswater (W2) fall inside a conservation area, and what does that mean for external works?

Accepted Answer

Several stretches of W2 carry Westminster City Council conservation designations — the Lancaster Gate and Bayswater Road areas are the main ones — which restrict alterations visible from the street: replacement windows, new external doors, roof extensions and changes to the stucco facade all require express consent rather than falling under permitted development. Internal works are unaffected by the conservation designation alone, though listed building status (where applicable) adds a separate layer. PrimeCraft checks the precise designation for your property at survey and designs the scheme within the correct planning route from the outset.

Question 3

How much should I budget for a rear dormer loft conversion on a Victorian terrace in Bayswater?

Accepted Answer

The broad, deep-plan Victorian terraces typical of W2 suit rear dormer conversions well — the roof pitch and plan depth generally make a usable room feasible without the constraints found on narrower stock. Costs for a fully finished rear dormer in W2, including structural engineer, Building Regulations approval, and party-wall notices where required, typically fall between £55,000 and £100,000. Properties within a conservation area may require a formal planning application rather than a permitted development certificate, and PrimeCraft establishes that at the first site visit so the quote reflects the complete programme.
