One Studio. One Contract. One Team.
Independent surveying by our sister practice, Hampstead Chartered Surveyors (RICS Firm No. 923064)Flat refurbishment for homes around Hampstead Heath, with the layout, shared-building requirements and retained details considered together. The property address and building type determine the starting point.
Flat refurbishment in Hampstead Heath at a Glance
A converted flat and a purpose-built apartment can present different constraints even when they are close to one another. Start with the lease, management requirements and existing layout. Record shared access and the services that connect the flat to the building.
Plan the work around the building
Describe which changes affect only your rooms and which may affect the exterior or common parts. A revised bathroom position or new hard floor needs its own assessment. Proximity to the Heath does not establish the building’s listing, planning status or lease conditions.
See our Hampstead Heath area guide for wider coverage. A standalone bathroom renovation or bespoke joinery commission has its own scope.
Assess the flat's position in the building
Describe whether the flat is at lower-ground, middle or upper level and identify the spaces above and below it. That information helps frame drainage, ventilation and acoustic investigations. If there are signs of moisture or an uncertain floor construction, record the investigation needed before finishes are specified.
Show which services are private to the flat and which are shared. Agree how work affecting a stack, riser or communal route would be coordinated with the building's management; a Heath-side address does not settle those practical questions.
Coordinate the whole flat
Define the rooms, layout changes and retained features first. The scope can then identify the electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation work, kitchen and bathroom requirements, finishes and fitted elements involved.
Review shared-building interfaces before work is programmed: access, common services, floor construction and any alterations provisions in the lease. Record assumptions and investigations so that a quotation can be assessed against a clear brief.
