Builders inHampstead.
Fenton House, the Admiral's House and the broad sweep of streets climbing toward Whitestone Pond make Hampstead one of Camden's most tightly governed conservation areas — Article 4 directions strip automatic permitted-development rights from many NW3 and NW6 streets, and that sits on top of any listed-building obligations. Victorian terraces on Flask Walk and Edwardian villas toward Belsize Park were built for different lives than the ones lived inside them today, and adapting them well demands tradespeople who understand Camden's heritage requirements as a baseline, not an afterthought. PrimeCraft Surface Solutions carries out loft conversions, side-return and rear extensions, full house renovations, bathroom refits and period restorations across NW3, NW6 and neighbouring Swiss Cottage and Kentish Town. All heating work is routed through our Gas Safe registered partner. We are fully insured, and every quote is written, itemised and delivered the same day as the survey.

What we build in Hampstead
Renovation in Hampstead's village streets
The lanes between Heath Street and the Heath were never designed for building work — narrow frontages, no side access, listed cottages shoulder to shoulder — and that is precisely the skill Hampstead work demands. Materials arrive little and often, waste leaves the same way, scaffolds are licensed and shared with the pavement, and the programme respects the fact that the neighbours live closer here than almost anywhere in London. Inside that discipline we deliver complete renovations: structure, services, finishes.
Period restoration in NW3
From Church Row's Georgian brick to the Victorian villas toward Belsize Park, Hampstead's fabric rewards the restorer's instinct: sashes repaired and reweighted, panelling and shutters returned to use, lime plaster mended in kind, floors kept and refinished. Where consent applies we work to it precisely — approved materials, agreed methods, and a paper trail the conservation officer can sign off without a second visit.
Kitchens and bathrooms in NW3 homes
Fitting modern rooms into old Hampstead houses is a design problem first: where services can honestly run, which walls can carry what, how extraction leaves a building whose outside cannot change. We resolve that before work begins, then build kitchens and bathrooms to the standard the houses deserve — bespoke joinery, stone fitted exactly, and heating renewed through our Gas Safe registered partner where the project calls for it.

FAQ
Commonquestions, Hampstead.
- Four questions shape the answer and we work through each at the survey. Is the property listed? If so, listed building consent is required regardless of the nature of the alterations. Does the address fall within the Hampstead Conservation Area? The majority of NW3 does, and any change to the roof form — rear dormer, hip-to-gable — requires a planning application rather than a permitted-development route. Has Barnet or Camden removed PD rights via an Article 4 direction? If none of those apply, a lawful development certificate is the correct and fastest route, providing a formal record for future sale. Party-wall notices to adjoining owners are needed in every terraced scenario and are served by us as part of the standard contract.
