Architects and Engineers in Brent
Local knowledge of Brent's Victorian terraces, Edwardian suburbs and interwar estates and its conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Brent
Brent was formed in 1965 from Wembley and Willesden, and it combines premium Victorian and Edwardian streets around Queen's Park and Brondesbury with Metroland suburbs on the hills of Wembley and Sudbury.
Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough where rear extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments are part of everyday life.
Planning in Brent
The borough has more than 20 conservation areas, and in 2024 the council extended several and created a new one at Kensal Rise, with Article 4 directions now covering Brondesbury, Mapesbury, Queen's Park, Kensal Rise, Willesden Green and other areas including Barn Hill.
Permitted development rights should be checked property by property.
Refurbishing in Brent
Across the borough's Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment starts from bringing a home's light, layout and performance properly up to modern standards.
A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.
Construction in Brent
Terraced streets, clay soils, party walls and conservation area controls shape structure, sequencing and access, alongside the usual party wall agreements.
We plan for these from the outset, so Brent's varied suburbs and its individual homes are both well served.
