Builders in Chiswick, W4
Loft conversions, house extensions, kitchens and bathrooms for Chiswick homes, built by a West London family team with more than 20 years of experience.
Abode Renovations has worked on Chiswick homes from the very start. Our first project as a business was an extension in Chiswick.
Most Chiswick streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semi-detached houses, from the roads off Chiswick High Road to Grove Park and Strand-on-the-Green. These houses suit the projects we are asked for most: a rear dormer or L-shaped loft conversion that adds a bedroom and bathroom, and a side return or rear extension that opens the kitchen up to the garden.
Planning matters more here than in many parts of West London. Chiswick is in the London Borough of Hounslow, and several areas, including Bedford Park, Strand-on-the-Green and Old Chiswick, are conservation areas. Bedford Park also has an Article 4 direction, which removes some permitted development rights, so even a modest rear dormer can need a full planning application. We check the rules for your street before any drawings are made.
Outside the conservation areas, many loft conversions and single-storey rear extensions can go ahead under permitted development. We usually still apply for a lawful development certificate, so you have formal proof that the work was allowed when you come to sell.

Questions
Building work in Chiswick: common questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Chiswick?
It depends on the street. Outside conservation areas, most rear dormers come under permitted development. In conservation areas such as Bedford Park, Strand-on-the-Green and Old Chiswick, roof changes usually need a planning application to Hounslow Council. We confirm which route applies before design starts.
Can you match the brick and windows on a period house?
Yes. We source matching or reclaimed brick and copy the original brick bond, sills and window style, so the new work looks like part of the house.
Can we stay at home during the work?
For most loft conversions and many extensions, yes. We keep the work contained, protect the rest of the house and clean up at the end of each day. A kitchen extension usually means a short period without a working kitchen, and we plan that with you in advance.
Which areas near Chiswick do you cover?
