South Hampstead has listed houses among the Victorian villas of the conservation area. Renovating a listed building is different from any other project: almost any alteration that affects its special character — inside or out — needs listed building consent, and carrying out work without it is a criminal offence.
The skill is in proposing change that the building can absorb. We work out what is significant and must be protected, design alterations and upgrades that are sensitive and, where possible, reversible, and make the listed building consent case to Camden with the drawings and heritage justification it needs.
Then we carry it out to conservation standards — correct materials, careful craft, and respect for the fabric — with one team responsible for both the consent and the build, so nothing is lost between the paperwork and the work on site. Honest budgets in pounds sterling throughout.
On a listed building, consent is not optional — and what you protect matters as much as what you change.
Alterations affecting special character need listed building consent; unauthorised work is a criminal offence.
We identify the significant fabric that must be preserved before proposing any change.
Upgrades are designed to be sympathetic and, where possible, reversible.
The work is carried out with correct materials and craft, to the standards Camden expects.
