Building, renovating and extending in Westminster
Westminster is a borough of grand stucco terraces, mansion blocks and garden squares, much of it listed, nearly all of it in a conservation area, and a great deal of it held under long leases from the major estates. The construction is often the simplest part of a Westminster project.
We take on prime residential refurbishment and commercial fit-out here. It is work that rewards planning: consents secured in the right order, access and delivery arranged around restrictions, noise and hours agreed with building management, and a specification detailed enough that nothing has to be decided on site.
The housing stock in Westminster
Georgian and early Victorian stucco terraces through Belgravia, Pimlico and Bayswater, purpose-built Edwardian and interwar mansion blocks across Marylebone, Maida Vale and St John's Wood, and a large volume of commercial and mixed-use property through Soho, Fitzrovia and Victoria.
Three layers of consent
Most Westminster projects need planning or listed building consent from the council, a licence to alter from the freeholder or estate, and building management approval covering working hours, lift use, deliveries and noise. Scaffold and skips require highway licences and are frequently refused or heavily restricted. None of this is a reason not to do the work — it is a reason to start the paperwork months before you want trades on site.
Planning note. Designations change, and two neighbouring streets can sit under entirely different rules. We confirm the conservation area status, any Article 4 direction and the relevant local policy for your specific address at survey stage — before any design work is paid for.

Local FAQs
Building in Westminster — common questions
Yes. Restricted working hours, goods lift booking, protection of common parts and noise limits are standard in Westminster blocks. We agree the regime with the managing agent before we start and programme the work around it rather than against it.
Plan for several months. Listed building consent and a freeholder licence to alter run in parallel but neither is fast, and the licence usually requires the consent to be in place first. We can sequence the design and procurement work so the delay is not entirely dead time.
Yes — offices, studios and hospitality units, frequently out of hours where the premises need to stay trading. We will work to your landlord's licence to alter and reinstatement obligations.
