The housing stock in Enfield
Edwardian and 1930s family houses, Victorian cottages around the town, and larger detached properties towards Enfield Chase.
Enfield is where Ushii is based. The registered office sits at 91 St Marks Road, EN1 1BJ, and a large share of our directly employed team lives inside the borough. That gives us short response times, a genuine understanding of the London Borough of Enfield planning department, and a supply chain of joiners, electricians and stone masons who don't need to travel two hours to get to site. We work across the borough on Edwardian semis, mock-Tudor detached houses in Grange Park, riverside houses on the New River and larger family homes in Cockfosters and Hadley Wood.
Most of our Enfield instructions come from owners of edwardian and victorian semis, grange park mock-tudor detached houses, gentleman's row and forty hall period stock, and from clients moving between Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green, Southgate, Barnet who already know the type of building they are buying into.
Planning and consent with the London Borough of Enfield
Forty Hill, Gentleman's Row and Clay Hill are conservation areas, and much of Enfield Town retains its older stock behind newer frontages.
Enfield is generally supportive of well-designed rear and loft extensions, and many schemes proceed under permitted development with a lawful development certificate.
Our approach is the same every time: establish the constraints before anything is designed, agree the route to consent with the client, and price the job against the scheme that will actually be approved rather than the one that looks best on a first sketch.
The work we carry out in Enfield
The bulk of our Enfield work is rear and wraparound extensions, loft conversions with dormers, roof renewal, and full house refurbishment.
Whole-house refurbishment. Strip-back refurbishment of Edwardian and mock-Tudor houses across EN1, EN2 and EN4, delivered by our directly employed Enfield-based team.
Rear and side extensions. Kitchen, family room and side-return extensions designed and delivered under LB Enfield planning, with clean drawings and a considerate contractor approach.
Loft and basement conversions. Dormer and mansard loft conversions plus lower-ground reconfiguration and basement excavation for Enfield family houses.
Access, neighbours and running a tidy site
Driveways and side access make Enfield projects more straightforward to run than central London, which keeps costs down.
Every trade on a Enfield project is directly employed by Ushii. There is no chain of outside firms to chase, no pricing surprises when a trade turns up, and one team responsible for the work from strip-out to snagging.
Realistic programmes in Enfield
Three to five months for an extension, five to nine for a whole house refurbishment.
Those figures assume consent is in place and decisions are made when they are asked for. The single biggest cause of delay on prime London projects is not construction, it is a client decision waiting on a specification that was never finalised. We front-load those choices into the programme so they are made calmly rather than under pressure.
