Builders in Hounslow

Chiswick and Bedford Park — garden-suburb craft under an Article 4 microscope.

Arrange a site visit →

Hounslow's building map is really Chiswick's: Bedford Park — London's first garden suburb — under a strict Article 4 direction, the Glebe Estate and Turnham Green terraces carrying the classic extension work, and Grove Park adding riverside consents and flood conditions. Underneath it sits a pragmatic council with clear, published expectations.We design to Hounslow's planning requirements from the first sketch — particularly in Bedford Park, where alterations that are permitted development elsewhere need consent, and the residents' association reads every application with real knowledge.

Bedford Park: designing inside the code

The suburb was designed to be looked at, and 150 years later it still is. Matching materials, honest rooflines, interiors free where it counts — the discipline is real, and the results age better than anything that fights it.

Rear extensions off Turnham Green

Chiswick plots are often a little deeper than Fulham's, which gives rear extensions room to breathe. The party wall and drainage discipline is the same, and the kitchen diners are fitted by our in-house team at the end of the programme.

Grove Park and the riverside

Flood-risk assessments, drainage conditions and TPOs on most consents near the towpath — routine for us, designed in early rather than discovered late.

Questions

Answers, before you ask.

Do you work across the borough, not just Chiswick?

Chiswick is our regular patch and the rest of the borough falls inside the same coverage. Ask about your specific street at the site visit.

Can I alter a Bedford Park house?

Yes, with consent — the Article 4 direction brings most alterations under planning control. We design within the suburb's grammar routinely.

Who handles planning in the borough?

Hounslow Council — applications, conservation statements and drainage consents are all run in-house by us.
