Construction & renovation in Harefield

Your local builder in Harefield

Harefield is our home town and our head office sits here, so a call out to a job in the village or its lanes is a short drive, not a motorway trek. We work the full length of the High Street and the streets around it, from period cottages in the conservation area to the interwar and post-war homes that grew up around the old core. Loft conversions, house extensions and new kitchens are the work we are asked for most here, and we treat each one as a piece of the village rather than a standard product.

Being based in Harefield means we know the London Borough of Hillingdon as a planning authority, and we handle the applications, drawings and conservation-area and Green Belt consents that this part of UB9 demands. We understand the chalk-and-gravel ground underfoot, the very hard water, and the floodplain that runs along the Colne and the Grand Union Canal. That local knowledge shapes how we design a loft, set out an extension or fit a kitchen, so the result suits the house and clears the council the first time.

Local knowledge

Building in Harefield

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

The homes we work on here

  • Period cottages and two- and three-storey brick and rendered buildings along the High Street, many inside the Harefield Village Conservation Area, with solid single-skin walls, timber floors and slate or clay-tile roofs.
  • Interwar and post-war suburban houses that surround the old core, built with cavity walls, strip or concrete foundations and clay-tile roofs, as Harefield grew from rural parish to commuter village.
  • Larger detached homes, farmhouses and smallholdings on the semi-rural fringe, set in the Colne Valley and Green Belt rather than dense terraced streets.
  • Far less Victorian terracing than neighbouring Uxbridge or Ruislip, so Harefield reads as a village and asks for sympathetic, house-by-house work rather than repeat formulas.

What Harefield homeowners ask us to solve

  • Limescale damage to boilers, cylinders and pipework from the very hard chalk-fed water, often replaced alongside a new kitchen or bathroom fit-out.
  • Cold, damp and condensation in solid-wall period cottages with no cavity and little insulation, put right with careful retrofit rather than off-the-shelf cladding.
  • Worn slate and clay-tile roofs and tired chimney stacks on the older village stock, repaired or recovered in keeping with the conservation area.
  • Planning friction on extensions, lofts and outbuildings where conservation-area consent and Green Belt policy both apply, which we navigate with Hillingdon before a spade goes in.
Why Hangard

Why Harefield homeowners choose us

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

Based in Harefield, not passing through

Our head office and yard are in the village, so site visits, snagging and the day-to-day of a build happen quickly because we are minutes away, not hours.

We build for chalk and gravel

Harefield ground sits on Chiltern chalk and Colne Valley river-terrace gravels rather than London Clay, so we set foundations to the conditions we actually find here instead of assuming inner-London shrink-swell.

Conservation and Green Belt handled

We design lofts and extensions that respect the Harefield Village Conservation Area and Green Belt limits, choosing windows, roofs and materials that Hillingdon will pass.

Hard water and floodplain understood

We specify wet systems and kitchens to cope with the area's very hard water, and add tanking, raised levels and drainage on the Colne-side and canal-side plots that carry flood risk.
