Do I need planning permission for a Kensal Green renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Kensal Green Cemetery Conservation Area covers the cemetery and immediately adjacent streets; most of NW10 retains PD rights outside it. 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 Kensal Green housing stock for refurbishments?
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with some 1920s housing on the northern edges. On this kind of housing in NW10, 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 Kensal Green 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 Brent processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Kensal Green renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Kensal Green 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.
