Common jobs

Popular improvements around Borehamwood

Single-storey extensions in Borehamwood

A single-storey extension is a new ground-floor room built onto your house, usually at the rear or side, with its own foundations, walls and roof, creating a bigger kitchen, living space or bedroom without moving home.

Guide for Borehamwood: £37,000–£79,000 including VAT, typically 10–16 weeks on site.

Kitchens in Borehamwood

A new kitchen installation replaces your old units, worktops and appliances with a new layout fitted to your room, including the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing needed to leave a complete, working kitchen.

Around Borehamwood the guide is £8,400–£23,000 inc VAT; expect 1–3 weeks on site.

Brickwork and repointing in Borehamwood

Repointing is raking out old, crumbling mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar, sealing the joints against rain and protecting the wall; brickwork repairs replace spalled or cracked bricks and rebuild damaged sections.

Typical time: 3–10 days for a typical house. Local guide price: £2,600–£6,300 including VAT.

Garden landscaping in Borehamwood

Garden landscaping is designing and building an outdoor space as a whole, combining hard landscaping such as patios, paths, walls and steps with soft landscaping such as lawns, planting and beds, plus drainage and lighting, so the garden works for how you live.

We price garden landscaping in Borehamwood at £6,300–£16,000 as a guide, including VAT.

Building work in Borehamwood

Hertfordshire is home to the first garden cities, Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City, and the post-war new towns of Stevenage, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead. Watford and St Albans have Victorian terraces and Georgian streets, interwar semis line the commuter suburbs, and brick-and-flint cottages appear in Chiltern villages to the west.

Generally dry with chalk and clay soils; clay areas can move in long dry spells, and mature trees near houses need considering for foundations.

These patterns matter for home improvements: older walls, roofs and floors in Borehamwood can need different materials or extra preparation compared with newer homes.

Planning and building rules for Borehamwood

Borehamwood is in England, so the planning and building rules set out below are the ones that apply. We confirm the details with the council before we quote.

In England, planning applications go to your local council, and many smaller extensions, loft conversions and outdoor jobs are permitted development. Conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions remove some of those rights. Building Regulations approval comes from council building control or a registered building control approver, or through a competent person scheme for certain trades.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Barnet, Bushey and Wealdstone?

Yes. As well as Borehamwood, we cover Barnet, Bushey and Wealdstone and the rest of Hertfordshire. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.

Which postcodes in Borehamwood do you cover?

We cover WD6, along with the rest of Hertfordshire. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.

Can I stay at home during the work?

In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.

What happens at the survey?

We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from your project, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.

Is the price fixed?

Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
