Award-Winning Design & Build for the Queen of the Suburbs
Ealing has long been known as the Queen of the Suburbs, and for good reason. Wide tree-lined streets, handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas, excellent green spaces, and outstanding transport links — including the Elizabeth Line — make it one of West London's most desirable family areas. The varied housing stock across W5 and W13 offers excellent potential for extensions, loft conversions, and renovations.

- RENOVATIONS
Renovations in Ealing — Modernising the Queen of the Suburbs
Ealing's period properties offer excellent renovation potential. The Edwardian and Victorian homes frequently benefit from ground-floor reconfiguration, kitchen and bathroom modernisation, rewiring, replumbing, and heating upgrades. The larger properties in Haven Green and around Ealing Common sometimes need comprehensive whole-house refurbishment.
Typical costs: kitchen renovation £25,000 to £52,000, bathroom renovation £12,000 to £25,000, structural reconfiguration £6,000 to £12,000, whole-house refurbishment from £90,000 upward. Detailed quotes provided. Final costs confirmed once designs and structural requirements are agreed.
- ARCHITECTURE
In-House Architecture — Ealing Council Planning Experience
Ealing falls within the London Borough of Ealing, which manages planning across a large and diverse residential borough. Our architects submit applications to Ealing Council and understand the borough's planning policies, including the conservation area requirements around Haven Green, Ealing Green, and Montpelier Park. Ealing's varied housing stock — from Victorian terraces to large Edwardian detached properties — requires different design approaches that our architects are experienced in delivering.
The integrated design and build model ensures buildable, accurately costed designs from the outset. Ealing's wider plots and larger properties create opportunities for side extensions and double-storey additions that demand careful structural design. Every project includes: measured survey, concept designs, 3D visualisations, construction drawings, planning applications to Ealing Council, structural engineering, and building regulations via LABC. All included in your quote — no separate architect fees.
