Do I need planning permission for a Herne Hill renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Herne Hill Conservation Area covers 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.
What's the typical Herne Hill housing stock for refurbishments?
Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces with outriggers, and some inter-war housing on the southern fringes. On this kind of housing in SE24, 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 Herne Hill 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 Lambeth & LB Southwark processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Herne Hill renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Herne Hill 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.
