Question 1

What does a rear or side-return extension on a W3 Victorian terrace in Acton typically cost?

Accepted Answer

Infilling the side passage to create a full-width rear room on a standard Acton terrace usually costs between £52,000 and £82,000. The spread reflects how far back the footprint runs, whether the original back addition is being retained or demolished, and how the new kitchen is specified. Most homeowners gain fourteen to twenty square metres of open-plan kitchen-diner lit by a new glazed roof or rear doors. Structural calculations, Building Regulations, party wall notices and the kitchen fit-out are coordinated within one programme. We produce a fully itemised written quote the same day we carry out the site visit — no waiting.

Question 2

Do conservation area rules in W5 or W13 change what I need permission for?

Accepted Answer

Streets around Walpole Park and Ealing Green sit inside conservation areas where Ealing Council may impose Article 4 directions that withdraw standard permitted development rights. An extension or roof alteration that would need no consent elsewhere could require a full planning application on those roads. That does not mean proposals are refused — materials, ridge height and proportions are the main considerations, and thoughtful schemes go through regularly. We check the precise designation of your address during the initial survey so you know from the first conversation whether a planning application forms part of the programme, and we handle the submission if it does.

Question 3

How long does a combined kitchen and bathroom renovation take across the Ealing borough postcodes?

Accepted Answer

Running a kitchen refit and bathroom refurbishment simultaneously through any Ealing address — W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2 or UB6 — typically takes eight to twelve weeks from first fix through to final sign-off. The exact duration depends on whether plumbing or electrical runs need rerouting, the amount of structural tiling involved, and whether fitted joinery is made to measure or from a standard range. All trades — plumber, electrician, tiler, carpenter — work under a single coordinated schedule so there is no idle waiting between stages. Any heating or boiler work is carried out by a Gas Safe registered partner. The whole project is fully insured.
