Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Barnes Green and Castelnau conservation areas cover most of the central streets. Article 4 applies in places. 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.

Edwardian and inter-war terraces and semis, plus some Georgian houses around Barnes Pond and the village core. On this kind of housing in SW13, 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.

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 Richmond upon Thames processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.

Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Barnes 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.
