Where we work
Builders in London
R Craft Construction is a Watford-based building contractor serving homeowners across London. We undertake extensions, conversions, refurbishments, structural work and groundworks, with a clear brief from the outset.
Building work that fits your London home
The best starting point is how you want to use the property. You may need a larger kitchen and dining space, an additional room in the loft or a refurbishment that makes the existing layout work harder. We can discuss the building work around those priorities.
Our London coverage includes Ealing, Acton, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Harrow, Barnet, Camden and Islington, with selected projects in South West and East London. Send your address and scope so we can confirm arrangements for your particular location.
Make access part of the brief
For a home with no separate route to the rear, moving materials and removing waste may involve the house itself. Tell us about side access, shared entrances and the space available for deliveries. These details belong in the initial conversation, alongside the drawings.
If you plan to remain at home, identify the rooms you need to keep using and any restrictions on access. A refurbishment of a flat needs a different site discussion from an extension to a house with a garden; include the property type when you enquire.
Use the guidance for your borough
London projects need to be considered against the property and its local authority, rather than a single London-wide assumption. Before fixing the scope, identify the relevant borough and discuss the approval position with your designer or the council.
The Planning Portal’s home-improvement guides are a useful starting point for understanding which questions to ask about extensions, conversions and alterations. The requirements for your address should be checked individually.
