Hackney is a borough of Victorian terraces and old industrial buildings given new uses, spread across E2, E5, E8, E9, N1 and N16. Around London Fields, Victoria Park and Stoke Newington you get bay-fronted terraced houses with a two-storey rear addition; around Shoreditch and Hoxton you get warehouse and workshop conversions. Both were built long before modern insulation, wiring or drainage standards, and most projects here start by putting that right.
A typical terrace in Dalston or Stoke Newington has solid nine-inch external walls, a single-skin rear addition that runs cold, suspended timber ground floors and a wiring loom that has been added to repeatedly. Full refurbishments here usually combine a rewire to Part P, new heating and hot water, insulation to the rear addition, and a kitchen relocated to the back of the house.
Once the layout opens up, the structure has to be resolved. Removing the wall between front and back receptions, or taking out the whole rear wall for bifolds, transfers load onto a steel beam. A structural engineer designs it, we build to their drawing, and the bearings are formed with padstones sized in that design. Chimney breast removal in a shared stack brings party wall duties with it.

FAQ
Every street in the borough sits within a controlled parking zone, so we arrange permits before the work starts rather than on the day. Where a skip cannot be placed, we use bagged waste with scheduled collections and time deliveries for quieter parts of the day. Keeping the pavement clear and passable matters as much as keeping the site tidy.
