Working in West London
West London is the closestpart of the capital to us
Our office in Ashford sits directly west of London, so Hounslow, Brentford, Twickenham, Richmond, Chiswick, Ealing and Uxbridge are the parts of the capital we reach fastest, often a short drive rather than a planned expedition. That proximity is the reason we are able to offer a free, in-person design meeting at the property and then keep returning to site during the build instead of managing it from a desk.
West London also happens to be where a notable piece of our recent work sits: a completed Grade II listed scheme in Notting Hill. Heritage work in this part of London is unforgiving. Materials, window profiles, roof form and internal alterations are all scrutinised, and the paperwork carries as much weight as the design. Getting a consent here is a technical exercise, and technical drawing work is around 75% of what our practice produces.
The building stock changes sharply as you move west. Kensington, Notting Hill, Fulham and Hammersmith are dominated by stucco terraces, mansion blocks and converted period houses on tight streets. Chiswick, Ealing and Acton bring Victorian and Edwardian terraces with rear closet wings and long side returns. Further out through Hounslow, Feltham, Hayes and Uxbridge, the stock turns inter-war and post-war semi-detached, with cavity walls, generous rear gardens and far more room to extend.
