Hackney is mostly Victorian terraces and converted flats, which means side returns, lofts and a lot of lath and plaster coming off walls. Design and build, loft conversions, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and full refurbishments across Hackney and the E8 postcodes around it.
Hackney is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means side return extensions, rear dormers, blown lath and plaster, single skin rear walls and drains running where nobody expects them, and every one of those is a known quantity rather than a surprise. In practice most of what we are asked for around Hackney is side return extensions, with everything else on the list available alongside it.
One firm from the first sketch to the last coat of paint.
ServiceDormer, hip to gable, rooflight or a full mansard, worked out from what your roof will actually allow rather than what fits a brochure.
ServiceRear, side return and wrap-around extensions built from the footings up: foundations dug and inspected, structure and steels in, roof on and weathertight, then the inside fitted out and joined into the rest of the house so it reads as one room rather than a bolted-on box.
ServiceStrip out, first fix, fit and finish.
ServiceFull rip-out to a finished room: old suite and tiles off, pipework and wiring reworked, walls squared and boarded, tanking where it matters, then tiled, fitted and sealed.
ServiceA downstairs WC under the stairs, an en-suite carved out of a bedroom, a shower room in the loft.
ServiceStud partitions, new openings and closed-up doorways: turning one big room into two, splitting a through lounge, forming a hallway, boxing in a utility or opening a wall up with a beam over it.
ServiceThe wiring and pipework side of a refurbishment, handled by our own team instead of booked in around somebody else's diary.
ServiceBoarding, skimming, patching and rendering.
ServiceWalls and floors, large format porcelain, metro, mosaic and natural stone.
ServiceEngineered wood, laminate, vinyl plank, tiles and carpet made ready.
ServiceFilling, sanding, caulking and cutting in, then two coats properly laid on.
Across Hackney (E8) it is mostly side return extensions, loft conversions and whole house refurbishments on Victorian terraces. Hackney is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means side return extensions, rear dormers, blown lath and plaster, single skin rear walls and drains running where nobody expects them, and every one of those is a known quantity rather than a surprise. Which of those makes sense for your place comes out of a free survey rather than a phone call, because the property decides most of it.
No, it is in the price. Hackney is about 4 km from us in Stratford, well inside the area we work as a matter of course, and the team travels to the job rather than the job paying for the distance. Where distance genuinely matters is on small one-day jobs a long way out, and if that ever changed the price we would tell you before quoting, not after.
Yes. Hackney is mostly Victorian terraces and converted flats, which means side returns, lofts and a lot of lath and plaster coming off walls. We are based in Stratford and cover all of London and the towns around it, so Hackney is normal territory rather than a favour. If we are busy and cannot start when you need, you will get told that instead of being kept waiting on a maybe.
A good deal. Terraces around Hackney were built the same way and they fail the same way: blown lath and plaster on the walls, a single skin rear addition with no insulation, a solid floor that is nowhere near level and a soil stack in the middle of where you want the kitchen. Because we know that before we arrive, the quote allows for it rather than producing an extra in week two. The upside is the side return: it is the cheapest square metre you will ever add to a house of this type.
We can usually get out to look within a week, and often sooner. Starting depends on the size of the job and what is already booked: small jobs like a bathroom, a floor or a decorating package can often be slotted in within two to four weeks, while an extension or a loft conversion needs drawings and approvals first, so the realistic start is a couple of months out. You get honest dates rather than optimistic ones.
Yes, and nothing is attached to it. Somebody comes to Hackney, measures up, talks through what you want the finished space to do, then you get a written quote with a specification of what is included. Nothing is chargeable until you have read that and said yes.
Yes, that is part of a design and build job. Hackney sits under its own local authority and its own conservation area boundaries, and whether your work is permitted development or a full application depends on the property rather than the postcode. We establish which it is at the survey, prepare and submit what is needed, and deal with building control inspections through the build so the completion certificate lands with you at the end.
