About Harefield

Set apart from the busier roads around Uxbridge, Harefield has kept the feel of a village built around its green, its church and the canal running below. The centre has an older, settled character, while newer roads on the edges of the village bring in more recent housing. Travelling down through Rickmansworth, Harefield sits within the area we cover from Chorleywood, making it straightforward to visit for a quote or to return for a second stage of work.

Homes in Harefield

Around the green and the older lanes, Harefield has cottages and terraces that date back well over a century, with low ceilings and solid, sometimes uneven, floors. Post-war semis and bungalows fill much of the middle ground, many owned by families who have been there for decades and are now looking to update doors, storage and finishes. Newer housing on the edge of the village tends to need less structural attention and more cosmetic work such as fresh paint and modern fittings.

Jobs we can help Harefield homeowners with

Harefield's bungalows often have lofts used purely for storage, which makes loft hatches and loft ladders a useful improvement for accessing the roof space in this part of the village. Older cottages near the green, with their uneven floors and walls, suit patient skirting and architrave fitting rather than off-the-shelf lengths that will not sit flush. Hallways in the post-war semis suit under-stairs storage to make better use of hallway space. For homes nearer the canal, our painting and decorating service can include extra attention to damp-prone rooms, and small plumbing or electrical jobs can be arranged for the same visit.

Harefield: questions

+Do Harefield bungalows often need loft hatch work?

Yes, many bungalows in the village use their loft purely for storage and still have a basic hatch that is awkward to access. We can fit a proper loft ladder and a better hatch, which makes getting things up and down far easier.

+Can you work on uneven floors in older Harefield cottages?

We can, though it does mean taking more care when fitting skirting or doors, since a cottage with settled floors rarely has perfectly straight walls. We measure and scribe joinery to follow the actual shape of the room rather than forcing a straight line.

+What decorating suits a canal-side Harefield property?

Homes closer to the canal can hold more moisture, so we pay extra attention to preparation and use suitable paint in bathrooms and north-facing rooms. This helps the finish last rather than showing signs of damp within a year or two.
