About Ickenham

Ickenham still feels like a village, with the pump and St Giles' Church at its heart and quiet roads leading out towards Swakeleys and the open land near the Colne Valley. It sits within the area we cover from Chorleywood, reached through Harefield and Uxbridge. Homes here range from older cottages close to the centre to larger interwar houses around Swakeleys, giving the town a settled, established feel rather than a single uniform style, which suits the varied jobs we are asked to take on.

Homes in Ickenham

The bulk of Ickenham's housing stock is detached and semi-detached, built during the interwar years as the village expanded with the arrival of the Underground. These houses typically have generous gardens, bay windows and solid timber doors that have often been replaced at least once over the decades. Closer to the village centre, a handful of older cottages bring lower ceilings and narrower doorways. Around Swakeleys, larger detached homes sometimes include outbuildings and garden structures that need occasional attention alongside the main house.

Jobs we can help Ickenham homeowners with

Interwar houses around Ickenham frequently need their original wooden doors eased or replaced, work we carry out under internal doors, alongside new skirting once flooring has been changed. Larger family homes near Swakeleys often want extra storage, and fitted wardrobes or alcove units make better use of bedrooms and box rooms. Garden gates on the quieter roads can swell and stick after wet weather, a small job we can fix quickly. For decorating, painting and decorating covers everything from a single bedroom to a full repaint ahead of a sale, and we are happy to combine several jobs from this list in one visit around the village.

Ickenham: questions

+Can you fit wardrobes into an awkward bedroom shape in an Ickenham interwar house?

Yes, interwar bedrooms in Ickenham sometimes have chimney breasts or sloped sections that make standard flat-pack wardrobes a poor fit. We design and build fitted wardrobes around the actual shape of the room so no space is wasted.

+Do you repair garden gates for homes near the village centre?

We do. Garden gates on the older cottages near the pump often swell in wet weather and stick on their hinges. We can plane, rehang or replace hinges and latches so the gate opens and closes properly again.

+Will you box in pipes in an older Ickenham cottage kitchen?

Yes, exposed pipework is common in older cottage kitchens and we can box it in neatly with timber panelling that can then be painted to match the rest of the room. We work around existing fittings so access is not lost.
