Kitchen renovation on Highgate Village’s deep, narrow plots

Many Highgate Village houses stand on old burgage plots, narrow at the street and long behind, some opening onto the edge of the Highgate Bowl. A rear kitchen on such a plot may grow into a rear addition or move down to a lower ground floor. Each choice changes structure, drainage and daylight. Drains may cross a long rear yard, so their route and condition are surveyed before a layout is fixed.

Haringey’s appraisal names original features, brickwork and render among its development management issues, and Camden’s strategy plays the matching role on its side of the line. A rear opening or addition is designed against whichever applies to the exact address. Removing an internal wall in a listed building can need listed building consent. Building Regulations approval, covering structure, drainage and ventilation, is a separate step from planning.

Worktops and tall units for a house on the High Street may need to pass a shopfront or turn through a narrow hall. Deliveries are timed around the trading day. Only engineers listed on the statutory gas register carry out gas work such as fitting a hob, and that listing is checked before booking. Party wall notices may reach owners on both sides, including a shop.

Start with how the household uses the kitchen and which walls you would like to open. Planning letters, any list entry and a note of whether gas reaches the room all help. Photographs of the yard and rear wall show how deliveries and drainage might work. Hampstead Renovations turns that information into a written scope for the Highgate Village kitchen, with each consent noted, and carries out the work in-house.

    Accepted works sequence services and extract before carcasses and worktops, with freeholder or occupancy constraints for Highgate Village written into the method.

  6. Fit-out, decoration and snagging
