Trusted builders in Stanmore since 2014. TCM Building & Maintenance delivers house extensions, loft conversions, and full refurbishments across Stanmore, Harrow Weald, Belmont, and the surrounding area.
Stanmore is a prosperous suburban district in the London Borough of Harrow, sitting at the northern end of the Jubilee line and bordering Edgware and Bushey Heath. Its combination of large plots, good transport links, and a strong community character makes it a location where homeowners consistently invest in improving their properties. The area has a predominantly 1930s and post-war housing stock, with a significant number of larger detached properties in the Stanmore Hill and Old Church Lane areas.
TCM Building & Maintenance is based in Borehamwood, approximately five miles from Stanmore. We have been working in Stanmore and the surrounding London Borough of Harrow since 2014, completing projects ranging from single-storey rear extensions on 1930s semis to significant double-storey additions on larger detached properties and loft conversions across all property types.
Planning applications in Stanmore are handled by the London Borough of Harrow Council. The council's planning team is active in enforcing design standards, particularly in the Stanmore Hill Conservation Area and in the Green Belt land that borders the district to the north and west. TCM advises on the planning position for every project during the free site survey.

The London Borough of Harrow Council (harrow.gov.uk) is the local planning authority for Stanmore. The council's Local Plan supports well-designed residential extensions. Permitted development rights apply to most residential properties in Stanmore, but are restricted in the Stanmore Hill Conservation Area and in other conservation areas within the borough. The Green Belt covers a significant area to the north and west of Stanmore, including parts of Stanmore Common and the Bentley Priory area. Properties within the Green Belt or conservation areas require planning permission for most external alterations. TCM will confirm the planning position during the free site survey.
Stanmore's housing stock is varied. The 1930s semi-detached and detached properties in the Stanmore Broadway and Belmont areas are well-suited to hip-to-gable loft conversions and rear extensions. Larger detached properties in Stanmore Hill, Old Church Lane, and the roads around Stanmore Golf Club offer scope for significant extensions, garden studios, and annexes. Post-war housing in the Canons Park border area is well-suited to single-storey rear extensions. The area also has a number of substantial Victorian and Edwardian properties that are well-suited to full refurbishments.
The Stanmore Hill Conservation Area covers the historic village core and a number of the older residential streets, where permitted development rights are restricted and planning permission is required for external alterations. The Green Belt covers a significant area to the north and west of Stanmore, including parts of Stanmore Common and the Bentley Priory area. Extensions to Green Belt properties must not result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling. Harrow Council's design guidance requires extensions and alterations in conservation areas to use materials and detailing sympathetic to the existing property. TCM has experience navigating both sets of constraints.

"TCM built a double-storey rear extension on our detached property in Stanmore Hill. The project added a large kitchen-diner on the ground floor and a fourth bedroom above. The team managed the Harrow Council planning application, the structural engineer's work, and the entire build. The project was completed on time and on budget. The quality is exceptional."
"We had a hip-to-gable loft conversion completed by TCM on our 1930s semi in Belmont. The new master bedroom and en-suite are beautifully finished. The team was professional throughout, communicated well, and the programme was accurate. The Harrow Council planning process was managed entirely by TCM without any issues."
"TCM refurbished our kitchen and two bathrooms in our property in Stanmore. The team was respectful of our home, the work was completed to a very high standard, and the price was exactly as quoted. The project manager kept us informed throughout. We would use TCM again."
