Architects and Engineers in Havering
Local knowledge of Havering's market town, garden suburbs and villages and its 11 conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.
Living and Building in Havering
Havering was created in 1965 from Romford and Hornchurch, reviving the name of a medieval royal liberty, and it still blends the suburbia of its railway towns with Essex countryside and Green Belt.
Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough that includes a market town, Edwardian and interwar garden suburbs and a post-war estate.
Planning in Havering
The borough has 11 conservation areas, from Romford's market place and the Gidea Park garden suburb to Rainham's Norman village and the royal ridge at Havering-atte-Bower, and the council can add Article 4(2) directions to them.
Green Belt land around the edges adds a further layer, so permitted development rights should be checked property by property.
Refurbishing in Havering
Across the borough's Edwardian, interwar and post-war 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 Havering
Interwar semis with hipped roofs, generous plots and Green Belt or conservation area controls shape what extensions and loft conversions can achieve, alongside the usual party wall agreements.
We plan for these from the outset, so Havering's varied suburbs and its individual homes are both well served.
