Building and renovation in W13
W13 covers West Ealing, Northfields, Drayton Green, Pitshanger fringe, Culmington Road. Dense Edwardian terraces off Northfield Avenue, larger Victorian houses around Drayton Green, and 1930s semis to the west. Many terraces retain a small cellar under the hall reached by a steep stair.
Planning and consent in W13
Conservation areas cover Mount Park and Drayton Green; most streets fall outside them, so permitted development and prior approval cover a large share of extension and loft work.
Access and site logistics
Permit parking on most streets, Crossrail-related traffic around West Ealing station and good rear access on some terraces via service alleys, which makes skip-free waste removal possible.
What we are usually asked for here
- Side-return and wraparound kitchen extensions
- L-shaped rear dormer loft conversions
- Cellar conversion to utility or storage where head height allows
- Flat-to-house reinstatement and full renovation
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.

West Ealing and Northfields terraces commonly have a small cellar under the hall with low head height, and rising damp in the ground-floor walls above it.
Where head height is sufficient we convert with a Type C system — membrane to walls and floor, a channel into a sump with a pump — and otherwise dry-line and ventilate the cellar as storage. Ground-floor damp is diagnosed separately rather than treated with blanket injection.
A Type C cavity drain system in W13 is specified after a survey, designed to BS 8102 for the way you intend to use the room, and installed with the drainage channel, sump and pumps left accessible for maintenance. Read the full basement waterproofing and Type C cavity drain guide, or see how it fits into a basement and cellar conversion.
Waterproofing or damp proofing in W13?
Damp proofing deals with moisture in above-ground walls. Waterproofing protects a room that sits below ground against water pressure from outside. In West Ealing & Northfields we decide which one the property needs at the survey, and often the answer is an external repair first.
How a W13 quotation works
We visit, find the source of the water, check head height, drainage outfall and any lease or listed-building constraints on your address, then issue a written scope and fixed price covering membrane, channel, sump and pumps and the finished room.
