High Barnet
Construction company
in High Barnet.
High Barnet and Chipping Barnet carry some of the oldest fabric in north London. Working on it properly is a different discipline from building new.
Why Skylon
The cheapest mistake in construction is the one you catch before you build.
Period property in a conservation area is the work our in-house joinery and finishing teams were built for. We do not subcontract the parts that decide whether it looks right.
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 High Barnet
Old fabric, modern expectations
- Conservation area and listed fabric. The historic core around Barnet Hill and the High Street is protected. Windows, mortar, roof coverings and rainwater goods are all scrutinised, and the wrong specification is refused.
- Period structures hide surprises. Old buildings rarely match their drawings. We open up early and price honestly rather than discovering the problem halfway through.
- Heritage and performance can coexist. Slim heritage glazing, breathable insulation and discreet servicing let a period house perform without losing its character. Our group manufactures the joinery to do it.
- Access is constrained. The hill, the High Street and narrow frontages make logistics real work. It gets planned before mobilisation.
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.
