Full refurbishment of Angel flats, shops and canal-side houses

Angel’s frontage is a working high street before it is a home, so a whole-flat programme above Upper Street shops starts with shared systems, fire separation and the trader below. Canal-side terraces on Duncan Terrace and Colebrooke Row are a different fabric: parapets, valley roofs and listed railings. We record which of those the property is before strip-out. Sound historic work is kept where it still performs.

Two Angel designations, plus listing and Islington’s basement guidance, are checked for the exact address. Planning, listed-building consent and Building Regulations approval are never treated as one decision. Below-ground work answers to structure, water and party wall procedure as well as planning. A licence to alter may sit beside all of these in a flat. The Northern line station does not settle any of them.

Upper floors above Angel shops need a live-site plan. Deliveries are timed around trading, and the shared stair is protected. Red-route kerbs cannot serve as informal loading bays. Dusty rooms are sealed from the shop. When a below-ground element is included, the story of what was found in the ground is recorded before it is covered.

Send the lease, photographs of each room and both elevations of the Angel home, and any basement or canal-side papers. Rank rooms and say whether a shop trades below. Hampstead Renovations writes investigation, consents, services and finishes into one written scope. The refurbishment is delivered in-house, and the close-out file records the below-ground story as well as the finishes.
