Question 1

What does a whole-house renovation cost on a Stoke Newington terrace (N16)?

Accepted Answer

Renovating a three or four-bedroom N16 Victorian terrace end-to-end — demolition and strip-out, rear extension, full rewire, full replumb, new kitchen, new bathrooms, plastering throughout, engineered timber or LVT flooring and decoration — typically runs between £148,000 and £218,000. Adding a loft conversion or a structural basement sits on top of that range. We present the complete cost as a line-by-line breakdown by trade and material on the same day we visit, with each phase priced separately so you can see exactly what each element contributes.

Question 2

Can I build a rear extension inside the Stoke Newington conservation area (N16)?

Accepted Answer

A single-storey extension at the rear, positioned out of sightlines from the street and built in materials sympathetic to the original house, can often be delivered within permitted development limits even inside the Church Street conservation area. Alterations that face the public — front dormers, window replacements, rendered facades, changes to doors or boundary walls — are a different matter and will almost always require a full planning application. We map your specific N16 address against Hackney's conservation boundary at the initial survey, advise which elements sit within permitted development and which need consent, and manage the submission if an application is required.

Question 3

Does gas boiler replacement in N16 have to be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer?

Accepted Answer

Yes — boiler installations, replacements and commissioning anywhere in the UK, including N16, are legally restricted to Gas Safe registered engineers. PrimeCraft co-ordinates this through a Gas Safe registered partner, ensuring the heating element of your renovation is completed to the correct standard and formally certificated. The partner's Gas Safe documentation is issued at practical completion alongside the building regulations certificate, giving you a complete compliance pack at handover.
