Builders in London: where we work
We are a London company and take work in London: extensions, lofts, renovations and structural work in the boroughs by day, shopfitting and fit-out in the centres by night. The pins on the map are jobs from our own record. No pin near you yet? Ask us.

The London board
Where we work, drawn to the borough line.
The board walks the compass on its own. Point at a borough or a region to hold it; the boroughs of that region are listed beside the map, linked where a page exists. A yellow pin is a job from our record, and it opens the project.

Working in a London street
The same job is a different job on every street. We sort the street.
There is no travel surcharge by borough. What moves a price in London is the site: a terrace with no side access, a narrow street that needs a bay suspension for deliveries, a controlled parking zone, or a flat above a shop that is still trading. Those are priced into the quotation and shown in it, not added afterwards.
Each borough sets its own hours for noisy work, its own skip and scaffold licensing and its own lead times, which is why the applications go in early rather than the week before we start. Commercial fit-out inside a trading centre is the reverse: the work runs overnight to the centre’s permit. How that sequence runs from first visit to handover is set out on how we work.
- 01
Skip licence
For a skip on the highway; applied for in the borough the skip sits in.
- 02
Scaffold and hoarding licence
Where scaffold or a hoarding stands on the footway.
- 03
Parking bay suspension
So a delivery or a grab lorry can stop outside the house.
- 04
Party wall notices
Served at design stage, with their one- and two-month periods built into the programme.
- 05
Building control
Lodged before notifiable work starts; the completion certificate is in the handover pack.
- 06
Out-of-hours permit
On commercial work, for the centre's or the landlord's night regime.

Common questions
What people ask about coverage.
Not answered here?
Tell us what you are planning. We read every enquiry ourselves.
Ask us directly07424 445105Ask for three things before a price: photographs of their own finished work rather than a supplier's, the name of the person who will actually run your site, and a written specification the price is fixed against. Then check the boring parts, which are the ones that matter: public liability insurance in place and building control sign-off on previous jobs. A builder who shows you the map of where they have worked, and the jobs on it, has nothing to hide about the last one.
We are a London company and take work in London, most often in North, East, South and West London. The pins on the map above are jobs from our own record, not a boundary. No pin near you yet? Ask us: send the address and what you have in mind, and we will tell you whether we can take it on.
No, there is no travel surcharge by borough. What does move a price is the site itself: a terrace with no side access, a narrow street that needs a bay suspension for deliveries, a controlled parking zone, or a flat above a shop. Those are priced into the job and shown in the quotation rather than added to it afterwards.
We arrange them. That means the borough's skip or hoarding licence, a bay suspension where the street will not take a delivery, and a licence for scaffolding over the footway. Each borough runs its own process and its own lead times, which is why they are applied for early. The cost sits in the quotation, not in a later invoice.
Most boroughs permit noisy work from the start of the working day to early evening on weekdays, with shorter hours on Saturday and none on Sunday. The exact times are set by the local authority, and we work to the ones that apply to your street. Commercial fit-out inside a trading centre is the reverse, and runs overnight to the centre's permit.
For commercial fit-out, yes. Brand rollouts have taken the crew to Manchester, Liverpool and Oxford, building to the same approved package as the London stores. Extensions, lofts and renovations stay in London and the immediate edge of it, because that work needs the crew on site daily and a site manager who can be there the same day.
