Hornsey shares our postcode and much of its housing with Crouch End, but with more converted flats and a larger share of landlord-owned property. That shapes the work: alongside family extensions we do a steady stream of full flat refurbishments between tenancies, where the programme matters as much as the finish because every empty week costs the owner money.
Building in Hornsey, specifically.
Flat conversions and freeholders
Work to a converted flat usually needs freeholder consent as well as building control, and sometimes a licence to alter. We will tell you which permissions apply before you commit to anything.
Sound between flats
Building regulations set separating floor and wall performance for conversions. Getting this right at first fix is far cheaper than retrofitting acoustic treatment after complaints.
Landlord turnarounds
For rental refurbishments we work to a fixed programme with a defined handover date, so the property can be re-let without an open-ended void period.
Rear access
Many Hornsey terraces have no side return access, meaning everything goes through the house. We sheet the route, protect floors and keep it clean daily.
