Question 1

Do mansion block flats in Brent need freeholder consent before renovation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for the converted Edwardian semis and purpose-built mansion blocks common in NW2 and NW6, structural changes, layout alterations and wet-room installations typically require a licence to alter from the freeholder or managing agent before work begins. TB&D Construction can advise on the drawings and specifications your freeholder will need and has experience working within the schedules of condition that most licences require.

Question 2

What loft conversion types work on the Victorian terraces in Kilburn and Brondesbury?

Accepted Answer

The Victorian terraces in NW2 and NW6 typically have pitched roofs with good ridge height, making dormer loft conversions (a flat-roofed box added to the rear roof slope) the standard approach. Hip-to-gable works aren't applicable on terrace properties. Party-wall procedures with adjoining owners are required before building starts. TB&D handles the full sequence: structural calcs, party-wall notices, dormer build, plumbing and electrics.

Question 3

Can you do a full flat renovation on a Wembley apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TB&D Construction handles full flat renovations across the HA0 and HA9 postcodes, from the interwar semis and mansion-block conversions around Wembley Central to the newer apartment buildings near the stadium. A typical full flat renovation includes new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, replastering, electrics and decoration — typically 8–14 weeks depending on scope. Itemised quotes within 48 hours of the site visit.

Question 4

What party-wall procedures apply to the Victorian terrace stock in Kilburn and Brondesbury (NW2/NW6)?

Accepted Answer

Victorian terraces in NW2 and NW6 share a party wall on both flanks — meaning a rear extension or loft conversion on a mid-terrace property requires separate Party Wall Act notices served on both adjoining owners. Notices for excavation near the wall or work on the wall itself must be served at least one month before work begins. TB&D Construction manages this process and, where both neighbours appoint surveyors, coordinates the resulting party-wall awards to keep the build programme on schedule.

Question 5

How does TB&D Construction handle the range of renovation work across Brent's diverse housing stock?

Accepted Answer

Brent's housing spans Edwardian mansion blocks in NW6, Victorian terrace streets in NW2, converted semis in Brondesbury, and purpose-built apartment blocks around Wembley — TB&D works across every type. Project capabilities include full flat renovations in mansion blocks, dormer loft conversions on terrace houses, rear kitchen extensions, full rewires and replumbs, and boiler replacements via our Gas Safe registered partner. TB&D carries £1m public liability and £5m employer's liability insurance and holds a 9.92/10 Checkatrade rating.
