Question 1

What does a full flat renovation cost in Kilburn or Brondesbury (NW6 or NW2)?

Accepted Answer

A full gut-and-refit of a Victorian conversion flat or mansion-block apartment in NW6 or NW2 — stripping out the kitchen, replastering, relaying floors, rewiring and completely refitting the bathroom — typically costs £45,000–£82,000 depending on flat size and finish level. Standalone bathroom refits usually run £8,000–£18,000. Leasehold flats need written freeholder consent before any structural or layout changes begin; managing agents usually ask for drawings and an existing-condition schedule as part of that approval. PrimeCraft helps pull together the documentation those applications require.

Question 2

Are dormer loft conversions feasible on the pitched-roof terrace houses of Kilburn and Brondesbury?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the pitched-roof Victorian terrace houses in NW2 and NW6 generally have enough ridge height for a rear-facing dormer under permitted development. Because mid-terrace properties share a party wall on both sides, the Party Wall Act requires notices to be served on both adjoining owners before structural work begins; end-of-terrace houses need only one notice. Hip-to-gable conversions are not applicable to mid-terrace properties. PrimeCraft manages structural calculations, party-wall notices and the Building Regulations submission as an integrated part of the project, holding the programme to a fixed timetable.

Question 3

Do rear extensions on the interwar semis of NW10 or HA0 fall within permitted development?

Accepted Answer

Residential streets in NW10 and HA0 — many running close to the Harrow or Ealing boundary — typically have plot depth to support a single-storey rear extension within permitted development. Side additions up to half the original house width are also usually PD-eligible. Step up to a two-storey rear addition and a full planning application to Brent Council is needed, running roughly eight to twelve weeks. Where a renovation includes heating or boiler work, PrimeCraft coordinates those trades through a Gas Safe registered partner. All Brent projects are fully insured and backed by a workmanship guarantee.
