What Acton homeowners ask us.
How much does a house renovation cost in Acton in 2026?

Do I need planning permission for a Acton renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Acton Park, Bedford Park (overlapping with Chiswick) and Mill Hill Park conservation areas cover specific pockets. If you're in a conservation area or your property is listed, listed-building consent may be needed for layout changes, sash-window replacement or chimney works. We check the specific address before quoting.
What's the typical Acton housing stock for refurbishments?
Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semis, with some Victorian stock around the older village centres. On this kind of housing in W3, whole-house refurbishments most commonly involve new layout (often opening up the ground floor), full rewire, new heating, new kitchen and bathrooms, and finishes throughout. Period restoration is more common on listed properties and conservation-area frontages.
How long does a Acton renovation take?
Allow 4–10 weeks for design and procurement, then 6–10 weeks on site for a kitchen, 3–5 weeks for a bathroom, 4–8 months for a whole-house refurb, and 8–14 months for period restoration. LB Ealing processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Acton renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Acton clients rent locally for 3–6 months during the works. We coordinate the programme with break clauses so you're not paying double rent at the end.
