Mews House Renovation Specialists
We understand the unique challenges and character of Mews properties. From brick, often with large ground floor openings (former stables) to often replaced, varying styles, our specialists deliver exceptional results while respecting period integrity.
Understanding Mews Properties
Key characteristics we work with every day
Common Mews Renovation Challenges
We've solved these issues hundreds of times. Here's how we approach them.
Compact Space Maximisation
Mews houses are typically 800-1500 sqft across 2-3 floors. Every inch counts.
We specialise in space-saving designs: built-in storage, mezzanines, and clever layouts.
Cobbled Street Access
Historic cobbles and narrow lanes make skip placement and deliveries challenging.
We use smaller vehicles, hand-carry materials when needed, and coordinate with neighbours for access.
Ground Floor Living
Many mews convert the former garage/stable to living space, raising damp concerns.
Proper damp-proofing, tanking, and ventilation for below-ground or ground-level rooms.
Limited Natural Light
Small windows and narrow streets can make interiors dark.
Rooflights, light wells, and open-plan designs to maximise natural light penetration.
Regulations & Compliance
We handle all regulatory requirements for Mews renovations
Conservation Area Rules
Many mews are in conservation areas with external alteration restrictions.
Change of Use
Converting garage to living space may require planning permission.

Mews Renovation FAQs
Can I extend a mews house?
Options are limited due to small plots and conservation rules. However, roof extensions, basements (in some cases), and internal reconfiguration can significantly increase usable space.
How do you deal with mews access issues?
We plan deliveries carefully, often using smaller vehicles or hand-carrying materials. We coordinate with neighbours and obtain any necessary temporary parking suspensions for skips.
