Local knowledge of Barking, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Barking

Barking is the borough's historic town, with a busy centre, rail and Tube connections, and streets of Victorian, Edwardian and interwar housing. Regeneration is bringing new homes, while many owners improve what they have.

As an AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) consultancy, Diagram X supports Barking owners with extensions, loft conversions, flat refurbishments and small conversion projects.

Planning in Barking

The Abbey and Barking Town Centre and Abbey Road Riverside conservation areas are in Barking. Works to buildings within them, and to listed buildings nearby, are controlled more tightly.

Away from those areas, many projects follow a standard route. We check designations and planning history early.

Refurbishing in Barking

Barking's older houses and converted properties often benefit from layout changes, better insulation and updated services.

A confidently modern result is always the starting assumption. We design bright, efficient spaces suited to the structure.

Construction in Barking

Town centre and terraced streets need careful logistics. We plan access, deliveries and working hours with neighbours in mind.

Coordinated drawings give builders the information they need to price accurately and build efficiently.
