Borehamwood
Construction company
in Borehamwood.
Borehamwood is the largest settlement in Hertsmere and the borough's main location for growth. It is also where the council itself sits, which means applications here are watched closely.
Why Skylon
The cheapest mistake in construction is the one you catch before you build.
Borehamwood and Elstree carry the borough's commercial and studio economy. Fit-out and refurbishment here run to tight programmes, and we plan for that from day one.
Hertsmere Borough Council is the planning authority, and its civic offices are on Elstree Way in Borehamwood. 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 Borehamwood
Growth town, close scrutiny
- The main growth location in the borough. Borehamwood carries more residential and commercial development than anywhere else in Hertsmere. That means more precedent to work with, and more scrutiny on design quality.
- Green Belt at the edges. The town is urbanised, but the boundary is close. Sites near the edge are judged on openness and volume, and appeals in this borough are common.
- Commercial and studio economy. Elstree and the studio sector bring fit-out, refurbishment and workspace work with hard deadlines. Programme certainty matters more here than almost anywhere.
- Coordination is the risk. On a fit-out, cost overruns come from sequencing, not materials. Our joinery, electrical and finishing teams work to the same drawings.
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.
