Construction & renovation in Central London

Your local builder in Central London

Hangard Construction works across Central London from our base in Harefield, a straight run down the A40 and Westway into Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea. We are a main contractor for prime and commercial property, and most of what we do here falls into three areas: property maintenance for portfolio and private owners, basement conversions beneath townhouses and mansion blocks, and house extensions where the footprint and the planning regime allow. Almost every address we touch sits in a conservation area, is listed, or both, so we plan each job around consent from the outset.

We handle the planning side directly with the City of Westminster and RBKC, the strictest authorities in the country, including mandatory pre-application advice and listed-building consent. We are used to building in dense, high-footfall streets where access, working hours, hoarding and party-wall matters all have to be managed before a single tool comes out. The work is exacting and the standards are high, which suits the way we build.

Local knowledge

Building in Central London

We tailor every project to the homes, ground and planning context of Central London — here's what that means in practice.

The homes we work on here

  • Grand Georgian and Victorian estates in Belgravia, Mayfair, Pimlico and Marylebone, built in solid masonry with stucco render, grand sash windows and ornate plasterwork.
  • Mansion blocks and tall townhouses, often run as lateral conversions or reinstated from offices back to single residences.
  • Slate and lead roofs over protected frontages, where restoration matters more than replacement.
  • Very little post-war housing in the prime cores, so this is a refurbishment and fit-out market rather than new-build.

What Central London homeowners ask us to solve

  • Listed-building and conservation consent on virtually every project, which we plan for from the first drawing rather than discover later.
  • Basements dug beneath townhouses and mansion blocks to add space where the footprint cannot grow outward.
  • Facade, roof and sash restoration on protected frontages that have to be kept faithful to the original.
  • Riverside damp and flood detailing on tidal-Thames frontages, and limescale from very hard water across the boroughs.
Why Hangard

Why Central London homeowners choose us

What sets us apart in Central London isn't a sales pitch — it's knowing the homes, the ground and the planning here, and building accordingly.

Consent-led from day one

With nearly every prime address listed or in a conservation area, we build the listed-building and conservation consent into the programme before we start, working pre-app with Westminster and RBKC.

Basements under prime stock

We dig and underpin basements beneath townhouses and mansion blocks on London Clay and Thames gravels, the practical way to add space when the footprint cannot grow.

Built for dense central streets

We manage access, restricted hours, hoarding and party-wall agreements on high-footfall streets where there is no room to spread out, the part suburban builders rarely have to plan for.

Heritage frontages kept faithful

We restore stucco, sash windows, ornate plasterwork and slate and lead roofs to match the original, so protected facades pass the authorities and read as they always did.
