What we build in Hanger Hill
Most Hanger Hill projects we scope fall into three buckets: a side-return or rear infill that fixes a dark galley kitchen, a full-width rear extension that opens the ground floor to the garden, and a rear-plus-loft package that adds a bedroom while the scaffold is already up. Edwardian villas (Ealing Broadway), 1930s semis (Northolt, Greenford), Victorian terraces (Acton).
Extension costs in Hanger Hill
A mid-spec 25 m² extension in Hanger Hill typically lands between £111,000 and £166,000 all-in — that figure includes professional fees, planning and Building Control, party wall, a 12% contingency and VAT at 20%. Ex-VAT build rates run £2800–£4300 per m² depending on glazing, structural spans and kitchen spend.

Planning permission in Hanger Hill
Ealing has a strong SPD for extensions. Conservation areas in Bedford Park, Pitshanger and Ealing Green require design that respects the Arts & Crafts idiom.
Before you assume permitted development applies to your street, check whether your street falls inside a conservation area or an Article 4 direction — both are common in Ealing and both remove PD rights for rear and side extensions. Our London planning guide walks through the tests in order.
Party wall and neighbours
Mixed — semis in the west, terraces in Acton mean two party walls.
Serve notice at least two months before you break ground. Budget £1,200–£2,400 per adjoining owner if they dissent and appoint their own surveyor — see the Party Wall Act guide.
Access, logistics and site set-up
Narrow roads limit lorry size, so materials arrive in smaller loads; a good programme allows for it.
Every quote we issue for Hanger Hill prices skip permits, parking suspensions, protection and welfare explicitly in the preliminaries — so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Value added in Hanger Hill
