House Renovations in Chigwell
A better layout, new services throughout and a finish you notice every day. Planned, managed and built by one team.
Renovating in Chigwell
Newer Chigwell houses are frequently large but poorly laid out, with dated bathrooms, basic glazing and heating that struggles to cope with the size.
What works here
Newer Chigwell houses are often large but poorly planned. We replan them, raise the specification throughout and renew the services.
Consents for renovation in Chigwell
Inside the house, renovation is mainly a building control matter. Changes to the outside, such as new windows, cladding or roof alterations, may need planning permission in the green belt. Applications go to Epping Forest District Council. We handle them for you.
How it works

We walk the house with you and record what should be kept, repaired or replaced.
Plan
A new layout, a clear specification and a schedule of works you can follow.
Permissions
Planning, listed building consent where needed, building control and party walls.
Enjoy
One team renovates it and hands it back finished.

Questions
Can you raise the specification of a newer Chigwell house?
Yes. We replan the layout, upgrade the glazing, heating and lighting, and replace the kitchen, bathrooms and joinery to suit the size of the house.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
Sometimes, for smaller or phased work. For a full renovation most clients move out, which is safer and usually quicker. We will advise at the first visit.
Do I need planning permission to renovate a house in Chigwell?
Internal work on an unlisted house rarely needs it. Listed houses need listed building consent for almost any change, and in a conservation area new windows, roofs and front elevations often need permission.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
For a whole-house renovation it is usually better to move out. Work to a single floor, or work in phases, can be planned around you staying in.
