Builders and renovators in Harrow.
Harrow is where we built the Pinner project, a 60 sqm side and back extension designed to take a future first floor. CAP designs and builds extensions, lofts, basements and full refurbishments across Harrow, with one team from planning through to aftercare.
What a project in Harrow usually involves.
Harrow is a mix of ordinary residential streets and pockets of conservation area, so what can be built without a full planning application changes from one road to the next.
The properties we are asked about in Harrow are mostly inter-war semis and detached houses, with period homes on Harrow on the Hill and in Pinner. Around Harrow on the Hill, Pinner High Street and Hatch End, the character of the street shapes what can be built, and we design to suit it.
Planning applications in Harrow are decided by Harrow Council. Whatever the project, we check which consents your property needs before recommending any spend on drawings.

Building in Harrow.
Do you work in Harrow?
Yes. Harrow (HA1) is about 14 miles from our base on Mitcham Lane in Streatham, and the work we are asked about there is mostly on inter-war semis and detached houses, with period homes on Harrow on the Hill and in Pinner.
Do I need planning permission to extend or alter a property in Harrow?
It depends on the street. Outside the conservation areas, many rear extensions and loft conversions to houses in Harrow can be built under permitted development, and a lawful development certificate confirms it. Inside a conservation area, or for a flat, a planning application is usually needed. We check which applies to your address first.
Which council decides planning applications in Harrow?
Harrow Council. Building regulations approval can come from the council's building control team or from a registered building control approver, and we arrange whichever suits the project.
