Architects and Engineers in Edgware
Local knowledge of Edgware's interwar suburbs and the Watling Estate, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Edgware
Edgware sits on the Roman road Watling Street and was still a village when the Underground arrived in 1924, which turned it and neighbouring Burnt Oak into rapidly growing suburbs.
Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across the interwar semis and terraces, including the Watling Estate, built by the London County Council between 1924 and 1931.
Planning in Edgware
The Watling Estate in Burnt Oak, around 4,000 homes, has been a conservation area since 2007, so external changes there can need permission.
The Edgware High Street Conservation Area lies on the Harrow side of the boundary, so confirm which borough and rules apply to the exact property.
Refurbishing in Edgware
Across the area's interwar houses, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment starts from open, light-filled layouts and modern performance.
A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.
Construction in Edgware
Consistent rows of near-identical houses make party wall agreements and careful loft design central.
We plan for these from the outset, so Edgware's interwar streets and its individual homes are both well served.
