Local to Wealdstone
Our survey diary covers Wealdstone, including HA1, HA3, HA7. Neighbouring towns we cover include Harrow (1 mile), Pinner (2 miles), Wembley (4 miles), Northolt (4 miles).
Just over the Hertfordshire border, Bushey is about 3 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.
Included in a typical project
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.

Do I need planning permission in Wealdstone?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
