Expert full home renovation services in Camden, NW1. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Camden.
Camden's houses run from the Nash terraces over Regent's Park to Victorian terraces in Kentish Town and the cottages of Primrose Hill. Renovating any of them properly means respecting the building and still having the nerve to do something modern. We aim for that balance on every whole house job here.
We start by getting to know the building. How it was built, what's been done to it, what state it's in. Georgian houses need someone who understands lime plaster, solid walls and old joinery. Victorian terraces bring their own list. Rotten timber, worn out services, poky compartmented rooms. Different building, different approach.
Reworking the inside of a Camden period house is where the drama comes. Knocking interconnected ground floor rooms into one, adding an extension that pours light in, taking the loft and basement for extra rooms. Done well, a dated house becomes a proper modern home without losing the shell that makes it special.
The heritage rules add work, no question. But our design team knows the area and has good working relationships with Camden's planning and conservation departments, which keeps things moving.
Camden's period houses are among the most significant in London, and doing them up takes more skill and care than an ordinary build. The conservation areas and listed buildings add red tape, but they also keep the standard of work high across the borough.
The payoff is worth it. These houses sit on some of London's best streets, and a full renovation gives you a home with real standing in an area that puts architecture first.
“SOM renovated our Georgian house near Primrose Hill with real care. Every original feature was kept or restored, they dug out the basement for a new living room, and the whole house was rewired and replumbed. Ten months of work and worth every day of it.”

Our multi trade team works through the job phase by phase, from first fix to finishing, with regular updates and quality checks along the way.
Georgian houses are built with lime, so they need breathable materials and specialist methods. We use lime plaster, lime mortar and natural insulation so the walls can still manage moisture. Victorian houses are built differently and take a wider range of modern materials.
Yes. We use heritage friendly insulation, efficient heating and proper draught proofing that lift the energy performance a good deal without harming the fabric or the period character.
Internal changes generally don't need permission. Extensions, loft conversions and basement digs do, and a listed building needs consent for most work. We handle every application and usually get approval within 8 to 13 weeks.
