Question 1

Does the Walpole Park conservation area in Ealing restrict extensions?

Accepted Answer

Pitzhanger Manor sits within a conservation boundary in W5, and properties nearby may be affected by Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights. Even outside the formal conservation area, Ealing Council's design guidance discourages extensions that dominate the original house or depart significantly from the prevailing character. TB&D Construction checks the planning position on every W5 and W13 site visit before quoting extension work.

Question 2

What type of rear extension suits the Victorian terraces in Acton (W3)?

Accepted Answer

The Victorian terraces in Acton typically have a rear return — a single-storey outrigger at the back — and a side passage between the house and the boundary. Infilling the side return to create a full-width kitchen-dining room is the most common extension move in W3, adding 8–15 m² of ground-floor space. TB&D Construction handles the structural calcs, building regulations submission and party-wall notices as part of the extension build.

Question 3

How long does a full kitchen and bathroom renovation take in Ealing?

Accepted Answer

Running both as a single programme — which most Ealing clients prefer — typically takes 7–11 weeks. TB&D Construction coordinates all trades under one project manager: plumber, tiler, electrician and joiner on a single agreed programme. We provide fully itemised quotes within 48 hours of the site visit and send weekly WhatsApp updates throughout.

Question 4

How does the Party Wall Act apply to side-return extensions on Acton Victorian terraces (W3)?

Accepted Answer

A side-return extension on a W3 Victorian terrace typically involves building a new wall along or close to the boundary shared with the adjoining property. If that boundary is a party fence wall (shared with the neighbour), the Act is triggered and a notice must be served before work begins. Where the side passage abuts only the building owner's own land and no shared structure is involved, the Act generally does not apply — but TB&D Construction verifies the boundary status on every W3 site visit before quoting.

Question 5

What is TB&D Construction's capability across Ealing's range of residential property types?

Accepted Answer

Ealing's housing spans Victorian terraces in Acton (W3), large Edwardian and interwar semis in W5 and W13, post-war maisonettes around Hanwell (W7), and modern apartment developments along the Elizabeth line corridor. TB&D Construction handles full house renovations on period terraces, side-return and rear extensions on Edwardian semis, full flat renovations in leasehold apartments, and kitchen and bathroom refits across all property types. TB&D carries £1m public liability and £5m employer's liability insurance on every Ealing project.
