House-to-Flats & Room Conversions in London

House-to-Flats & Room Conversions services across West and North West London, subject to the agreed scope.

House-to-Flats & Room Conversions

D-Core Construction specialises in converting large houses into two or more self-contained flats, and converting garages and annexes into habitable rooms across West London and North West London. Whether you are a property investor looking to maximise yield, or a homeowner wanting to create independent space for family while adding long-term value, we deliver the full structural and fit-out scope.

A house-to-flats conversion requires careful planning — change of use from Class C3 (single dwelling) to two or more self-contained units requires planning permission from your local borough. Once approved, the works involve structural separation between floors, independent utility services for each flat, sound insulation to Part E of the Building Regulations, fire safety compliance, and full Building Control sign-off.

We manage the entire process: from helping you appoint the right planning consultant and structural engineer, through to the fit-out of each flat to lettable standard. Every conversion we deliver meets the latest Building Regulations and is ready for freeholder or leasehold title splitting.

Structural floor and ceiling separation between units

Our Process

1

Planning & Feasibility

We assess your property and advise on the feasibility of conversion — number of flats, layout options, planning prospects in your borough, and likely Building Regulations requirements. We can refer you to a trusted planning consultant to manage the application.

2

Structural Design

A structural engineer assesses the floor structure and designs any necessary strengthening or separation works. The acoustic specification is agreed at this stage to ensure compliance with Part E from the start.

3

Construction

Floor and ceiling build-up for acoustic separation, structural alterations, independent utility connections, kitchen and bathroom fit-outs, fire doors, alarm systems — all completed to a strict programme.

4

Building Control & Handover

We support all Building Control inspections, arrange acoustic testing where required, and hand over both flats in a fully decorated, lettable condition with all Building Control documentation.

Pricing Guidance

Project costs depend on size, specification, existing conditions, and the required scope of works. A detailed quotation can be provided once the project requirements and site constraints have been reviewed.
