Delivering in Highgate
Highgate sits under Camden and Haringey conservation controls, and the village core carries some of London's tightest heritage cover. Delivery here is about heritage-grade refurbishment, discreet contemporary rear extensions and services strip-outs that leave the fabric of the house better than we found it. Our teams work in the village weekly.
Ushii is a London construction house working with private clients, family offices and developers across Highgate and the surrounding prime postcodes. Every project is delivered by our own directly employed teams under a single point of accountability from first survey to final handover.

Answers
What Highgate clients ask.
Do you handle Highgate conservation area consent?
Yes. Both Camden and Haringey cover parts of Highgate. We prepare submissions and respond to conservation officer queries as part of the pre-construction workstream.
Can you refurbish a listed house in The Grove?
Yes. Listed refurbishment is a large part of our Highgate work. We coordinate listed building consent, heritage statement and specialist trades from one office.
How long does a Highgate refurbishment take?
Whole-house refurbishment of a four-storey Highgate townhouse typically runs nine to fourteen months, with an additional three to six months for basement excavation.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Highgate?
Which council you deal with can depend on which side of the street you are on. We confirm that before any drawing is produced. We confirm the position for your specific address before any design work begins, including whether the property sits inside a conservation area or carries an Article 4 direction.
Which council covers Highgate?
Highgate is covered by the London Borough of Camden and the London Borough of Haringey. The Highgate Conservation Area spans the boundary between two boroughs, and the village core includes a high concentration of listed buildings.
How long does a project in Highgate usually take?
Nine to fifteen months for a full house project.
What kind of properties do you work on in Highgate?
Georgian houses around the village, large Victorian villas and modernist houses on the Holly Lodge and Highpoint sides. Our Highgate work is mainly listed house refurbishment, extensions and garden rooms, roof restoration and structural repair.
Do you use subcontractors on Highgate projects?
No. Every trade on site is directly employed by Ushii, so the people who price your Highgate project are the people who build it.
