Contact Alstruct for a detailed, fixed-price quote for your Chiswick project.

Are there conservation area restrictions in Chiswick?

Yes, Chiswick has several conservation areas including the Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick House, and Bedford Park conservation areas managed by the London Borough of Hounslow. Properties within these areas have stricter planning requirements. Alstruct has extensive experience navigating Hounslow's conservation area policies to achieve approval for premium building projects.

What makes Chiswick properties ideal for extensions?

Chiswick's attractive Edwardian houses and Victorian terraces typically feature generous garden plots ideal for rear and side extensions. The area's wide, tree-lined streets and proximity to the Thames make these properties perfect candidates for luxury open-plan kitchen extensions, premium loft conversions, and bespoke basement conversions that significantly enhance both living space and property value.

How long does a luxury loft conversion take in Chiswick?

A premium loft conversion in Chiswick typically takes 10-14 weeks from start to completion. Dormer conversions typically take 10-14 weeks on site, a hip-to-gable 10-16 weeks and a mansard 14-20 weeks. Alstruct provides a detailed programme of works with clear milestones before commencing your Chiswick project.

House and kitchen extensions in Chiswick

Chiswick ranges from the Arts and Crafts houses of Bedford Park and the Victorian terraces of the Glebe Estate to Edwardian houses around Turnham Green and the large villas of Grove Park and Strand-on-the-Green. Kitchen extensions are the most requested Chiswick project: side-return infills on the terraces, wraparounds on the wider Edwardian houses, and basements under the Grove Park villas where gardens are small.

Bedford Park, Strand-on-the-Green, Turnham Green and Grove Park are conservation areas, and Hounslow Council applies Article 4 restrictions on several streets. Most Chiswick extensions we price fall between £2,500 and £4,000 per m², so a 25–30 m² kitchen extension is roughly £75,000–£120,000 fitted out; our house extension cost guide breaks the numbers down. We check permitted development rights at the first visit and deal with Hounslow Council (Bedford Park streets fall under Ealing Council) in-house.

Loft conversions in Chiswick

Chiswick's Victorian and Edwardian roofs take rear dormers and L-shaped dormers well; in Bedford Park and Strand-on-the-Green the design must respect the original roofscape.

Expect £45,000–£75,000 for a dormer loft with a bedroom and en-suite, £60,000–£100,000+ for a mansard and from £25,000 for a Velux conversion; the loft conversion cost guide has the breakdown. For a Chiswick loft we measure head height, roof structure and the stair landing first, and the quote includes structural calculations and Building Regulations approval.

Renovations and refurbishment in Chiswick

Chiswick refurbishments are usually full house renovations of Edwardian and Victorian homes, combining new kitchens and bathrooms with period repair. Typical Chiswick refurbishments include structural openings with steel beams, new kitchens and bathrooms, rewiring, heating and period repairs such as sash windows, cornices and floors. See our renovation cost guide for realistic budgets. Chiswick projects are run by a single project manager under a JCT contract, with a written specification and a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Planning approvals in Chiswick

Hounslow Council approved 78.5% of householder planning applications decided between September 2025 and August 2026, against a London average of 85.8%; a typical decision took about 8.0 weeks from validation. Loft conversions that needed planning permission were approved 76.4% of the time and extensions 83.5%.

Some Chiswick streets fall under Ealing Council instead, where the approval rate was 86.4%.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Chiswick?

Chiswick sits in Chiswick Conservation Areas, which means Permitted Development rights are restricted and most extensions require full planning permission from Hounslow Council. We handle the planning application, design drawings and party wall notices on your behalf.

What types of property do you work on in Chiswick?

Edwardian and Victorian houses are the most common homes in Chiswick. We survey the structure, check the planning and building regulations position and price from what we find, so the quote reflects your property rather than an assumption. Our completed projects show the Victorian and 1930s houses we have extended and refurbished across London.

How quickly can Alstruct start a project in Chiswick?

Once design and approvals are signed off, we typically start on site in Chiswick within 6–12 weeks depending on programme availability. Design, planning and building regulations typically take 3–6 months before that. For urgent projects, get in touch on 020 8080 8240 to discuss timing.
