London Borough of Ealing is the local planning authority and runs building control for the borough, so planning applications, prior approval submissions and building control notices for your property all go to them. We make those submissions as part of the contract rather than leaving them with you.
Whether your project needs a full planning application or falls under permitted development depends on the property and its designation. Flats have no permitted development rights at all, and those rights are restricted in conservation areas and wherever an Article 4 direction applies — both of which exist in Ealing. We establish which applies to your address before pricing the work.

Answers
Building in Ealing — common questions
Which postcodes in Ealing do you cover?
We work across the whole borough, including W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2 and the surrounding districts.
Who is the planning authority for Ealing?
London Borough of Ealing is the local planning authority and also runs building control for the borough. Planning applications, prior approval submissions and building control applications for your property all go to them, and we handle those submissions as part of the contract.
Are you based near Ealing?
We are based in Chadwell Heath, RM6, and cover all 32 London boroughs. East London — Redbridge, Havering, Barking & Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest — is our home ground, and we work across the rest of the capital from there.
How do you price the work?
From a site survey, written up as a fixed and itemised scope before any deposit is discussed. If something genuinely unforeseen appears once work is opened up, it is priced and agreed in writing before we continue — never added to the final invoice after the fact.
When do I pay?
In arrears of work completed. You pay for work that has been done and inspected, not for work that has been promised. This has been how the company operates since 2008.
Do you handle Party Wall notices?
Yes, where the work requires them. Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, notifiable work on a shared wall needs 2 months written notice to the adjoining owner, while excavation near a neighbouring structure and building at the line of junction need 1 month. We serve the notices and manage the award process as part of the job.
Will I get certificates at the end?
Yes. Electrical work is tested and certificated under Part P, and building control issues a completion certificate where an application was required. You receive the handover pack — it is what a buyer's solicitor will ask for when you eventually sell.
