Builders in Camden
Hampstead, Belsize and the Heath — the strictest basement policy in the country, designed to rather than argued with.
Arrange a site visit →Camden — Hampstead especially — is London's most protected village quarter. The conservation areas cover nearly everything worth having, the borough runs the strictest basement policy in the country, and the Heath's protected land frames what is possible at all. NW3 forgives nothing and rewards everything done properly: extensions that disappear into matching brick, renovations that respect the structure, and a finish that matches the address.Our Camden work: full renovations of the Victorian mansions and stucco villas, rear extensions inside the conservation rules, basements designed to Camden's policy rather than against it, and lofts where the rooflines allow.
Camden's basement policy, taken seriously
Single storey, limited extent, strong protection for trees, gardens and neighbours — and in much of Hampstead effectively a refusal position. We start from the policy and tell you honestly whether your plot carries a consentable scheme.
Extensions that disappear
The houses around the Village and down Frognal are extended at the rear in materials that match so exactly the addition reads as original. Stock brick matched by hand, rooflines honest, interiors entirely modern behind them.
Belsize Park and the Heath side
The stucco terraces and semis bring the extension and loft work of the rest of NW3, at Hampstead's consent standard. The neighbours are organised, and so are we.

Areas we cover in Camden
What we build in Camden
Answers, before you ask.
Can I build a basement in Camden?
The borough's policy is the strictest in London and in much of Hampstead effectively closes the door. Some plots carry consentable schemes — we assess before you spend on design, and say no plainly when it is no.
What extensions work in Camden conservation areas?
Rear extensions in exactly matching materials, invisible from the street, honest in the garden. It is the discipline we build to on every NW3 job.
Do you work outside Hampstead?
Yes — Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and Frognal are inside our Camden coverage, with neighbouring Westminster and RBKC completing the arc.
