Structural works, brickwork and groundwork with competence and professional input confirmed for the accepted scope. Written programme — not a marketplace.

Accessible only via a single road from East Heath Road, this tiny hamlet of approximately 60 homes sits within Hampstead Heath itself. The Vale of Health pond and surrounding woodland create an extraordinarily secluded setting. Applied to builder around Vale of Health, that evidence shapes phased strip-out, services, wet rooms and occupation — it does not invent a method for an unseen property. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
