Building and renovation in EC2
EC2 covers Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Broadgate, Old Street. Warehouse conversions, new-build apartment towers, office floors and mixed-use buildings where residential sits alongside commercial occupation.
Planning and consent in EC2
City of London and Hackney control between them, with conservation areas around the older streets and tall-building policy shaping new development. Residential work is mostly internal and consent turns on the lease.
Access and site logistics
Weekday servicing restrictions in the City, booked lifts and loading, and strict limits on noise near operating offices. Fit-out is frequently programmed for evenings and weekends.
What we are usually asked for here
- Apartment and penthouse renovation in converted and new-build blocks
- Category A and B office fit-out phased around occupation
- Structural openings and acoustic separation in mixed-use buildings
- Retail, bar and restaurant refurbishment
We survey the property before pricing, confirm the constraints that apply to your specific address rather than the postcode, and issue a fixed price against a written scope. One site manager runs the trades from first fix to snagging.

Shoreditch and City-fringe homes mostly have balconies, roof terraces or courtyards, suited to container planting and lighting.
Outdoor space in central London is more often a roof terrace, lightwell, courtyard or communal garden than a lawn, so weight, drainage outlets, waterproofing beneath the finish and freeholder consent shape the design.
Our garden design and landscaping service covers layout, levels and drainage, planting, terraces and paths, garden lighting and external power, and how materials and plant reach the garden. In EC2 that access question matters: Weekday servicing restrictions in the City, booked lifts and loading, and strict limits on noise near operating offices. Fit-out is frequently programmed for evenings and weekends.
Garden designer London →Roofing in EC2
EC2 roofs are often flat roofs on converted and mixed-use buildings, where membrane condition and outlets are inspected.
Central roofs are often reached only through the building or from a scaffold licensed over a busy pavement, with parapet gutters, lead and plant areas that need careful inspection before any price is fixed.
Roofing work starts with a survey and photographs, then a written scope that states whether repair or replacement is recommended: pitched and flat roofs, leadwork and flashings, guttering and rainwater goods, and the scaffolding the roof needs. Planning, conservation and freeholder requirements for your address are confirmed at survey.
