Question 1

What does a kitchen and bathroom renovation cost in a Paddington conversion flat (W2)?

Accepted Answer

Replacing both a kitchen and a bathroom in a mid-floor W2 conversion flat — including layout changes where the footprint allows, new sanitary ware and cabinetry, tiling, and replastering — typically costs between £22,000 and £58,000, depending on room size and finish specification. Wet-room construction on a suspended timber floor requires a different waterproofing approach from a concrete slab; the method depends on what is found during survey. For leasehold properties, the freeholder's licence to alter must be obtained before layout changes begin, and PrimeCraft prepares the supporting documentation as part of the contract package. The itemised quote is issued the day of the site visit.

Question 2

Do W2 Paddington Victorian terraces qualify for rear extensions under permitted development?

Accepted Answer

Most of the Victorian terrace properties on residential streets north of Praed Street and around Gloucester Terrace in W2 retain standard permitted development rights, allowing a single-storey rear extension within the permitted size limits without a full planning application. Streets within the Norfolk Square or Southwick Street conservation areas face tighter constraints on any work visible from a public road. Properties near the Paddington station regeneration zone may also attract additional planning policy considerations. PrimeCraft confirms the exact permitted development position for your W2 address at the initial site visit and quotes the structural work, Building Regulations, and party-wall process as distinct line items.

Question 3

How much does a full house renovation typically cost on a W2 Paddington terrace?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive renovation of a mid-terraced Victorian house in W2 — rewire, replumb, boiler replacement via our Gas Safe registered partner, replaster, fitted kitchen, two bathrooms, rear dormer loft conversion, and full decoration — generally falls between £125,000 and £265,000. Width, depth, and the specification of the kitchen and bathrooms drive the range more than floor area alone. Phased programmes are easy to structure: kitchens and bathrooms first, with the loft following in a second phase, suits owners who need to stay in the property throughout. Each phase is quoted as a separate fully itemised document, issued the day of the site visit.
