Builder in Acton, W3 — Extensions, Loft Conversions, and Full Renovations

House Extensions in Acton

We build rear extensions, side return extensions, two-storey extensions, and kitchen extensions on W3 properties. Acton's Victorian terrace side returns — the narrow strip running beside the kitchen outrigger — are one of the most impactful extension opportunities in the borough: a well-designed side return extension can increase kitchen floor space by 30 to 50 percent and create the open plan kitchen-diner that W3 buyers consistently prioritise. Single-storey rear extension in Acton: £40,000 to £85,000 in 2026.

Loft Conversions in Acton

We convert loft spaces across Acton's varied roof types: dormers and hip-to-gable on Victorian and Edwardian properties, Velux on gable-roof interwar housing. Hip-to-gable conversion: £47,000 to £78,000. Dormer: £45,000 to £75,000. Velux: £25,000 to £45,000. With W3 properties regularly exceeding £600,000, a loft conversion adding a master bedroom with en-suite is one of the highest-returning single projects available in W3.

Basement Conversions in Acton

Acton's Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis are among the most viable properties for basement conversion in our service area. At £630,000+ average values and with the highest transactions above £900,000, the construction cost of a cellar conversion (£45,000 to £95,000) or new basement excavation (£150,000 to £400,000+) can be justified by the market value added. We carry out a free feasibility assessment for any Acton basement enquiry.

Full House Renovation in Acton

Complete renovation programmes for Acton's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock. Full 3-bedroom Victorian terrace renovation in Acton W3: £70,000 to £200,000 depending on scope and specification. We specify lime plaster on pre-1919 solid-wall properties, engage structural engineers on all wall removals, and issue JCT contracts on every project.

Kitchen Renovation in Acton

Kitchen refits and open plan kitchen renovations throughout W3. The side return extension combined with a kitchen renovation is the signature transformation project on Acton's Victorian terraces — opening the kitchen into the side return and the rear garden simultaneously to create a large, light-filled open plan space. London mid-range kitchen refit: £10,000 to £20,000. Side return kitchen extension: £55,000 to £120,000.

Bathroom Renovation in Acton

Family bathrooms, en-suites, wet rooms, and cloakrooms across W3. Acton's Victorian and Edwardian properties often have scope for a master bedroom en-suite without extending the building — reconfiguring the first-floor layout to capture an en-suite within the existing footprint. London mid-range bathroom renovation: £8,000 to £15,000.

Electrical Services in Acton

NICEIC-certified EICR inspections, full rewires (3-bed London: £4,500 to £9,000), consumer unit upgrades (£450 to £950), and EV charger installation (£800 to £1,500) throughout W3. Acton Victorian terraces from the 1880s–1900s occasionally retain 1960s rubber-insulated wiring upgrades that are themselves now approaching end of life — we identify this at EICR and advise on the correct remediation.

Plumbing and Heating in Acton

Gas Safe registered boiler installation, central heating, and bathroom plumbing in Acton. Combi boiler supply and installation: £3,200 to £5,500. For Acton Victorian properties with lead supply pipes — still found occasionally in the oldest W3 stock — we identify and advise on replacement at survey.

Plastering and Rendering in Acton

Lime plastering on pre-1919 solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian Acton properties. Breathable monocouche or silicone render on solid-wall facades. Standard gypsum skim and full re-plaster on interwar and post-war cavity-wall properties. We specify correctly for the substrate at every Acton survey.
