A short drive from our Hampstead base, Highgate is one of the areas we work in most — conservation-area extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments on some of North London's best-preserved period streets.

Highgate spans three boroughs — Camden, Haringey and Islington — and much of it sits within the Highgate Conservation Area, protected by the Highgate Society and Highgate Conservation Area Advisory Committee. That means planning applications here get real scrutiny on materials, sightlines and period detail. We've worked on Highgate projects for years and know what each of the three planning teams typically expects to see.
Highgate's conservation status is stricter than many North London areas — this applies to render, roofing materials, window replacements and rear extensions alike. We flag planning risk honestly at the quote stage rather than let it surface as a surprise mid-project.
