Staying Put Through Building Work in Haringey
NStar Builds, a family and friends run North London building company, covers home refurbishment in Haringey and the surrounding North London area. Living at home during building work is often possible, but losing the kitchen or the only bathroom is the hardest part. A temporary kitchen elsewhere makes a real difference.
Can you live at home during building work?
It is usually possible, with some planning around the worst weeks. The kitchen and the bathroom are the rooms that matter most. A temporary kitchen in another room makes a big difference.
Dust travels further than anyone expects. Move belongings out of adjoining home refurbishment in South Tottenham rooms too. Agree the hours early and tell the neighbours before the skip arrives.
Can I get an extension on my planning permission?
Not in the sense of extending the deadline. A permission normally lapses if work has not lawfully begun within the time limit, usually three years. The options are to begin work before it expires or to apply again.
Should you extend or move house?
Moving costs money that stays with other people: stamp duty, agents, solicitors and removals. An extension puts the spend into your own property. The deciding factor is whether the extended house suits you for years.
Some houses simply cannot grow in the right direction. The garden, the neighbours and local planning all constrain it. A free quote from NStar Builds gives you a real figure to compare against moving.
What type of loft conversion suits a Haringey house?
The dormer is the most common type: a flat roofed box on the rear slope that adds headroom. On a terrace with an outrigger, an L shaped dormer uses both roofs at once. A hip to gable straightens a sloping side of the roof into a vertical wall.
NStar Builds converts lofts as dormers, L shaped dormers and hip to gables. The conversion can include skylights, a Juliet balcony and a custom staircase. The existing roof rules some types out straight away.
