Kitchen renovation in South Hampstead’s late-Victorian homes
Opening up a kitchen in a late-Victorian house can expose more than old units. In South Hampstead, the room may keep a fireplace, original plaster, timber joinery or stained glass worth recording first. Taking out a wall or chimney breast can be structural, so it needs an engineer’s design. New extract, drainage and power routes are better placed in fabric already altered, where that is possible. The survey maps these routes, and moisture at floors and walls, before a layout is fixed.
Kitchen plans meet several rules at once. Structure, drainage and ventilation fall under Building Regulations, separate from planning. A new extract grille or a changed rear window may need a planning check. That depends on Camden’s conservation and Article 4 controls at the exact address. Connecting a gas hob is work for engineers on the statutory register for gas, and we confirm their entry before booking. In a flat, the lease may require consent, and work to a party wall can bring in the Party Wall etc. Act.
Kitchen deliveries can be long, heavy and awkward. Worktops, appliances and tall units need a clear route from the kerb, which in South Hampstead may cross a planted front garden and a tiled path. Door widths and stair turns are measured before anything is ordered. Dust from cutting is controlled, and noisy work stays within Camden’s published hours. In a house shared as flats, the common hall is protected and neighbours are told when large deliveries are due.
Say how you cook, eat and store, and who shares the space. List what should stay, from a fireplace to original joinery, and any appliances you are keeping. Measurements, photographs and any drawings all help. Give the exact address, floor and tenure. Hampstead Renovations then prepares a written scope for structure, services, joinery and finishes, including photographs of service routes before they are covered. The kitchen is delivered by our in-house team, and any change to the agreed scope is confirmed in writing first.
