Barnet
Construction company
in Barnet.
Barnet is where our two markets meet. We hold live London projects and a Hertfordshire office, and Barnet sits between them.
Why Skylon
The cheapest mistake in construction is the one you catch before you build.
Our London portfolio runs from Clerkenwell to Islington, and our office is in St Albans. Barnet is served properly from both.
The London Borough of Barnet is the planning authority. We price and programme against the authority that will actually decide your application, and we say what is not possible before you have paid for a design that cannot be built.
Building in Barnet
London rules, suburban plots
- London planning, not Hertfordshire planning. Barnet applies London Plan policy, which changes the tests on density, amenity and daylight. Pricing a Barnet job on a Hertfordshire assumption is how projects go wrong.
- Green Belt on the northern edge. The borough runs from dense suburb to protected countryside. Which side of the line your site falls on changes everything.
- Conservation areas throughout. Barnet carries a large number of conservation areas and listed buildings, and detailing is scrutinised.
- Basements and rear extensions. Where footprint is fixed, value comes from going down or going back. Both need proper structural and party wall handling from the start.
What we deliver
One contract, one team, one accountable name.
- New build. Ground up residential and replacement dwellings, from groundworks to handover.
- Extensions and whole-house refurbishment. Structural work, reconfiguration and finishing under one contract.
- Commercial fit-out. Workspace delivered to a fixed programme, on live and constrained sites.
- Design and build. Design developed against real cost and buildability from the start.
- Bespoke joinery and finishes. Manufactured in house, not subcontracted to the lowest bidder.
- Electrical and M&E coordination. Our trades work from the same drawings, so services do not ruin the detailing.
