Full refurbishment of Canonbury square houses and villas
Repairing Canonbury brick, stucco and Welsh slate is the starting point of a whole-house programme, because those materials still organise the square and the villa streets. Flats within houses and shared basements add another layer of ownership. We record original fabric, later partitions and mixed services before strip-out. Sound historic joinery is kept where it still performs. New work is matched to surviving evidence rather than to a generic Georgian catalogue.
Canonbury Square listing reaches the railings, and groups of terraces are listed at Grade II. Designation, listing and tree status are confirmed for the exact address before drawings develop. Planning, listed-building consent and Building Regulations approval are never treated as one decision. Party wall notices can apply to shared walls and basements. Work beside the New River Walk is raised early where the garden meets it.
Raised pavements and station-side streets in Canonbury make loading part of the specification. Scaffold and skips are licensed, and the square gardens stay outside the compound. Occupied flats in a divided house are sealed from dusty rooms. Tree protection fencing goes up before the first delivery. Concealed services are photographed before they disappear, so the next owner can see the routes.
Send listing entries, tree reports, photographs of every elevation and the main interiors, and the lease if the home is a flat. Rank rooms. Hampstead Renovations prepares a written scope covering investigation, consents, services and finishes. The refurbishment is delivered in-house, with a file a future owner can read beside the water and under the trees.
