Local Knowledge
The Hanwell Housing Stock — Victorian, Edwardian, and Interwar Variety
Hanwell W7 spans a wider historical range than many surrounding areas. The oldest stock comprises Victorian terraces along Church Road, Boston Road, and the streets closest to Hanwell Broadway — pre-1919 solid-wall properties requiring lime-compatible plaster and breathable render. The most desirable properties in W7 are the large Edwardian semidetached houses in the W7 3 sector: streets such as York Avenue, Boston Road, and Creswick Road contain substantial houses with bay windows, high ceilings, and generous gardens that are among the highest-priced family homes in the borough. The 2026 sale of 59 York Avenue at £965,000 reflects the premium these properties command.
The hipped-roof Edwardian semi, prevalent in the better W7 streets, presents a specific loft conversion challenge: the hipped structure has insufficient Permitted Development volume for a standard Velux conversion. The correct solutions are a hip-to-gable conversion (removing the hipped end to create a full gable) or an L-shaped dormer wrapping the rear slope. We identify the correct option and confirm the planning position at the free survey — a critical first step before any design fees are spent.
Interwar 1930s housing fills much of W7 2, providing the same cavity-wall semidetached construction suited to Velux loft conversions and straightforward rear extensions as the wider West London interwar stock.

Services
Building Services in Hanwell — What We Deliver in W7
House Extensions in Hanwell
We build rear extensions, side return extensions, and kitchen extensions on W7 properties, designed to complement the period character of Hanwell's Victorian and Edwardian housing. A single-storey rear extension in Hanwell costs approximately £40,000 to £85,000 in 2026, reflecting the higher specification typically applied in a market where properties regularly exceed £700,000. We manage all Ealing planning applications and Building Regulations.
Loft Conversions in Hanwell
We carry out hip-to-gable, L-shaped dormer, dormer, and Velux loft conversions across Hanwell's varied roof types. Hip-to-gable conversion: £47,000 to £78,000. L-shaped dormer: £48,000 to £85,000. Velux on gable-roof properties: £25,000 to £45,000. We confirm the correct and most value-adding conversion type for your specific W7 property at the free survey — the right call between a hip-to-gable and a dormer alone can make a £10,000 difference in project cost.
Full House Renovation in Hanwell
Complete renovation programmes for Hanwell's Victorian, Edwardian, and interwar housing. Full 3-bedroom Hanwell house renovation: £70,000 to £180,000 depending on scope and starting condition. We specify lime plaster on pre-1919 W7 properties and engage a structural engineer on all wall removal and structural alteration work. JCT contract on every project.
Kitchen Renovation in Hanwell
Kitchen refits and open plan kitchen renovations throughout W7. Many Hanwell Edwardian houses have a rear room separating the kitchen from the garden — removing this wall to create an open plan kitchen diner is one of the most transformative and value-adding single projects available on the W7 Edwardian stock. London mid-range kitchen refit: £10,000 to £20,000. Full structural open plan renovation: £40,000 to £120,000.
Bathroom Renovation in Hanwell
Family bathrooms, en-suites, wet rooms, and cloakrooms throughout W7. Hanwell Edwardian houses often have a first-floor layout where a large original bathroom can be reconfigured to create both a main bathroom and a master en-suite without extending the building. London mid-range bathroom renovation: £8,000 to £15,000.
Basement Conversions in Hanwell
Hanwell's larger Victorian and Edwardian properties occasionally have an existing cellar or below-ground space. Cellar conversion in London: £45,000 to £95,000 for a standard fit-out to Grade 3 habitable standard. We carry out a free feasibility assessment for any Hanwell basement enquiry.
Electrical Services in Hanwell
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 W7. Pre-1966 Hanwell Victorian properties occasionally retain rubber-insulated wiring — we flag this at EICR.
Plumbing and Heating in Hanwell
Gas Safe registered boiler installation, central heating, and bathroom plumbing in Hanwell. Combi boiler supply and installation: £3,200 to £5,500. Benchmark Commissioning Checklist completed on every installation.
Plastering and Rendering in Hanwell
Internal lime plastering on Hanwell's pre-1919 solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian properties, and breathable render on solid-wall facades. Gypsum skim and full re-plaster on the 1930s cavity-wall stock. We specify the correct system for the substrate at the survey — the difference between a correct and incorrect specification on a Hanwell Victorian terrace is measured in thousands of pounds of damp remediation within five years.
Roofing in Hanwell
Flat roof replacement on W7 extensions, pitched roof tile repair, ridge re-bedding, lead flashing at chimney stacks (common on Hanwell's Victorian and Edwardian properties), and guttering replacement throughout W7.
All Other Services in Hanwell
We also deliver in Hanwell: garage conversions, flooring, painting and decorating, carpentry and joinery, and new build construction.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Building in Hanwell
What loft conversion suits a Hanwell Edwardian hipped-roof house?
The hipped-roof Edwardian semi common in W7 3 lacks the volume under Permitted Development for a Velux conversion. The correct options are a hip-to-gable (removing the hipped end to create a full gable, maximising volume) or an L-shaped dormer wrapping the rear roof slope. We confirm the viable option and its planning position at the free survey.
How much does a rear extension cost in Hanwell in 2026?
A single-storey rear extension in Hanwell W7 costs £40,000 to £85,000 depending on size and specification. The W7 market supports a higher specification than some surrounding postcodes — buyers in the £700,000+ range expect quality finishes. Fixed-price written quote after the free survey.
Do you do lime plaster work on Victorian Hanwell properties?
Yes. Our plastering team specifies and applies lime-compatible plaster on pre-1919 solid-wall properties in W7. We do not apply standard gypsum products to solid-wall Victorian substrates where the existing base coat is lime — the incompatibility causes moisture-related failure within a few years.
Are there Conservation Areas in Hanwell?
Yes. We check your specific W7 address at the free survey and confirm whether Conservation Area or other constraints apply to your proposed works.
Can you handle structural wall removal in a Hanwell Edwardian house?
Yes. We engage a structural engineer for all load-bearing wall removals, specify the correct RSJ, submit a Full Plans Application to Building Control, and manage the stage inspections through to completion certificate. All structural alteration work is covered under the JCT contract.
Do you work throughout W7 2 and W7 3?
Yes. We carry out projects across all of W7 including Hanwell Broadway, Boston Road, Church Road, York Avenue, Uxbridge Road borders, and all residential streets in both W7 2 and W7 3 sectors.
