What we do in Perivale
Our building and development services in UB6
Perivale is one of the most complete pieces of 1930s London there is, and the way that stock is treated has changed. Interwar detail that was being ripped out twenty years ago is now protected, sometimes formally and often through local designation, and Perivale has the Hoover Building on the Western Avenue as a standing reminder of what the period was capable of.

Local knowledge
Working with Perivale's buildings
Almost all of UB6 went up in a decade. Streets of 1930s semis run north and south of the Western Avenue, bay-fronted with hipped roofs, some with the curved sun-trap windows and rendered corners that mark the better examples. The medieval church at St Mary's and the industrial estate along the A40 sit at either end of the range, and the Hoover Building, listed and now residential, is the landmark everything else is measured against.
The work is consistent with the stock. Rear and side extensions on houses with deep plots, loft conversions into hipped roofs, and full refurbishment where a house is sound but has not been touched since the services were installed. Where original windows, render and doors survive, the interesting part is deciding what to keep, what to repair and what can honestly be replaced.
Planning
Interwar detail is now protected
Perivale comes under Ealing Council, and much of UB6 sits outside a conservation area, so a straightforward rear extension or loft conversion generally proceeds on a certificate. That is worth confirming for the address, since designation is patchy and Ealing has withdrawn permitted development for small shared houses across the borough.
What has changed is how the period itself is regarded. Interwar architecture is now taken seriously, with listing at the top end and local designation and character assessment beneath it, and elevations that were considered ordinary are increasingly assessed on their detail. Steel windows, render finish, curved corners, original doors and the roof line all carry weight where a scheme is judged. We establish what protection actually applies before specifying anything that changes the front of a house.
Ealing Council planningOn the ground
The windows are the whole elevation
A 1930s house is defined by openings that are much slimmer than anything made since. Original steel windows carry frames a fraction of the width of a modern unit, and on a curved bay or a sun-trap corner that slimness is the entire effect. Replace them with standard plastic and the glass area shrinks, the sightlines thicken, and the elevation stops being what it was, whatever else is done to the house. It is the single change that most often makes a Perivale refurbishment look wrong.
There are honest routes through it. Original frames can frequently be repaired, draught-sealed and reglazed rather than removed, and where they are genuinely beyond saving there are slim-profile steel replacements made for exactly this stock. Both cost more than the obvious alternative, which is why the decision belongs at the specification stage with the numbers visible, rather than at the point where a supplier is quoting on quantity alone.

Questions
Builders in Perivale: common questions
Do you work in Perivale and the UB6 area?
Yes. Perivale sits between Greenford and Ealing, and both our W5 projects are in this borough. Refurbishment, extensions, conversions and structural work are the things UB6 asks for and what we do here.
Should I replace the steel windows in a 1930s house?
Repair them if they can be repaired, and if not replace them like for like. Original steel windows carry frames far slimmer than anything made now, and swapping them for a standard plastic unit thickens every sightline on the front of the house. Slim-profile steel replacements exist and are the honest answer where the originals have gone.
Can I change the render on the front of my house?
Usually, but the finish matters more than people expect. Smooth painted render, pebbledash and roughcast all read differently, and on a street where the original finish survives a modern textured system stands out immediately. Where the house is protected it becomes a consent question rather than a preference.
Do you build extensions and loft conversions in Perivale?
Yes, and the stock suits both. The plots are deep, the hipped roofs convert well, and much of UB6 keeps its permitted-development rights so a certificate is often the route. We handle the design, the notices and the build.
Can you reinstate original 1930s features?
Yes, where there is evidence for what was there. Sun-trap windows, curved bay glazing, original door patterns and the render finish can all be brought back, and doing it accurately usually adds more to a house than a modernising scheme that removes the last of the period detail.
How do you price a project in Perivale?
From the house and the specification the period actually calls for. Steel windows and matched render cost more than the standard equivalents and we show them as separate lines rather than absorbing them. We are the principal contractor and the figure is broken out in full. Send us the address and we will come and look at what survives.
Which nearby areas do you also cover?
Right across this side of the borough. Greenford and Northolt west, Ealing and West Ealing south, Wembley and Park Royal east, and on down through Acton and Hanwell.
