Local knowledge of Hounslow's riverside villages, garden suburbs and interwar streets and its conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Hounslow

Hounslow was formed in 1965 from Brentford and Chiswick, Heston and Isleworth and Feltham, and it stretches from Georgian riverside villages on the Thames to interwar suburbs beside Heathrow.

Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough with around 540 listed buildings and some of west London's most sought-after streets.

Planning in Hounslow

The borough has around 28 conservation areas, and Article 4(2) directions currently apply in Bedford Park and Gunnersbury Park, while the setting of the Kew World Heritage Site and the Thames flood zone add further considerations.

Permitted development rights should be checked property by property.

Refurbishing in Hounslow

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 Hounslow

Riverside flood risk, listed neighbours, tight terraces and aircraft-noise insulation needs near Heathrow shape structure, drainage and sequencing, alongside the usual party wall agreements.

We plan for these from the outset, so Hounslow's varied neighbourhoods and its individual homes are both well served.
