Building work on Cricklewood terraces, from parapets to pointing
On a Cricklewood terrace, water can get in at shared parapets, valley gutters, bay roofs and chimney stacks that serve two houses. Old hard cement pointing over soft brick is another point to check. Hampstead Renovations traces a damp party wall to its source before any plaster comes off. Sound original brick, slate and timber are kept, and lime-based mortar is used where the original was lime.
Gratton Terrace fronts Cricklewood Broadway, and Midland, Johnston, Needham and Campion Terraces sit behind it, all within Barnet’s Railway Terraces conservation area. Where an Article 4 direction applies, Barnet explains that permitted development rights are removed, so planning permission is needed. Neighbouring streets may answer to Brent or Camden, each with its own records. We confirm the council, any designation and any listing for the exact address first.
Barnet notes that the Railway Terraces can be reached by vehicle only from the Broadway, via the southern end of Gratton Terrace. On a Cricklewood job there, that one entrance governs every delivery, skip exchange and scaffold load. Materials are called off in small, timed drops so the entrance is not blocked for neighbours. Elsewhere, the kerb rules of the council that manages the frontage set the plan instead.
Share any planning history, conservation result or listing you know of, with photographs of the frontage and any shared roof or stack. Hampstead Renovations sets out a written scope in which confirmed and provisional items are kept apart, and our own teams deliver it. At completion, the file records which council the Cricklewood address belongs to. Licences and suspensions sit in it with their dates and the issuing council.
