Working across the whole borough rather than just this area? See building regulations drawings in Ealing.
Building regulations drawings for a West Ealing project turn the design into a construction-ready set — Part A structure, Part B fire, Part L thermal, Part M access — for Ealing Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On W13's edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces, the recurring details are steel beams over knocked-through ground floors, loft floor build-ups, and insulation upgrades to solid period walls around West Ealing, Drayton Green, Northfields fringe.
A construction-ready drawing package compliant with every Approved Document — Part A structure, Part B fire, Part L thermal, Part M accessibility — submitted to LABC or your approved inspector with structural calculations coordinated.
Across West Ealing, Drayton Green, Northfields fringe in W13, the dominant property is edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces, with mansion blocks around west ealing and the drayton green streets. That stock shapes what building regulations drawings looks like here: the right approach for a period terrace differs from a mansion-block flat or a new-build, and Ealing Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific West Ealing property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the W13 streetscape.

Yes. The Edwardian and inter-war semis around Drayton Green and Cleveland Park suit rear and side extensions plus loft conversions, much of it within Permitted Development outside the conservation area, confirmed with a Lawful Development Certificate. We confirm the route and draw to Ealing's checklist.
West Ealing on the Elizabeth line has cut journey times to central London and Heathrow, lifting demand across W13. For a house project it improves the backdrop; your scheme is still governed by Permitted Development limits and Ealing householder policy, which we apply.
Usually yes — a hip-to-gable plus rear dormer on the semis, within the volume allowance and confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate, provided you're not in the Drayton Green conservation area. We check the constraints for your road and draw it for Building Control.
Family-house extensions and lofts on the bay-fronted Edwardian and inter-war stock — side-returns, rear additions and hip-to-gable lofts. With houses around £750,000-£1m, the added space justifies a council-ready scheme; we handle planning and Building Regulations drawings together.
Ealing Council charges its own statutory application fee (currently £548 for a householder planning application, £610 for a full application). We quote the drawings as one fixed price and the free site survey covers every W13 address.
For a W13 project across West Ealing, Drayton Green, Northfields fringe, expect roughly 3–4 weeks from instruction to submission: week 1 the measured survey, weeks 2–3 the drawings and your revisions, then validation and the statutory determination by Ealing Council (8 weeks for a householder application). We carry the West Ealing application through every officer query to the decision.
West Ealing (W13) sits primarily in Ealing, so applications are decided by Ealing Council. Conservation areas within W13 include Drayton Green, Lammas Park (adjoining), where full planning and a Heritage Statement are required. We confirm the planning route for your exact address before quoting.
Almost always. Any structural work behind building regulations drawings in West Ealing — new openings, steel beams, loft floors, foundations — needs Building Regulations approval covering structure (Part A), fire escape (Part B) and insulation (Part L), submitted to Ealing Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On W13's typically terraced and semi-detached stock, a Party Wall notice to adjoining neighbours is normally required before the steelwork. We coordinate both as part of the Complete package.
In value terms, yes. The bigger risk is an unapproved or non-compliant scheme — which is why council-ready drawings and a clean Building Control sign-off matter on W13 homes.

Every W13 postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a building regulations package there. W13 fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not building regulations package estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a building regulations package |
|---|---|---|---|
| W13 | West Ealing | Edwardian terraces | A W13 address in West Ealing can route building control through Ealing Council or through an approved inspector. Both discharge the same duty; the fee and the inspection timetable are what differ. |
| W3 | Acton | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | Adjoining district to W13. Building control here can go to Ealing or to an approved inspector, on the same terms as in W13. |
| W5 | Ealing | Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces | Adjoining district to W13. Building control here can go to Ealing or to an approved inspector, on the same terms as in W13. |
| W7 | Hanwell | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Adjoining district to W13. Building control here can go to Ealing or to an approved inspector, on the same terms as in W13. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few W13 streets, and each one changes what a building regulations package can achieve at that address.
