Why Olympic Park Chooses London Renovation Company for House Remodelling
Remodelling in Olympic Park isn’t the same as remodelling anywhere else in London. The London Legacy Development Corporation oversees planning for properties in Olympic Park, and Newham’s own Supplementary Planning Document sets strict design and neighbour-impact requirements. We know these rules inside out – and that means faster approvals and fewer surprises for you.
- Local planning expertise: We handle applications to both the LLDC and Newham Council, navigating conservation area restrictions, leasehold obligations, and permitted development rights so you don’t have to. Before beginning a renovation project, we always check local authority regulations for planning permission requirements on your behalf.
- Deep understanding of E20 property types: From period terraces with party walls to compact new-build flats in Chobham Manor and East Village, we know the structural realities and design opportunities of every housing type in the area. Engaging local specialists familiar with building types can streamline the renovation process – and that’s exactly what we provide.
- Established supplier relationships: We work with trusted East London suppliers including C&S Builders Merchants and SIG Roofing Stratford, keeping material costs competitive and lead times short.
- Outcomes that matter: Our remodels increase property value by 10–20% for period homes, improve energy performance, and deliver the modern living spaces that local residents expect in one of London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
Our House Remodelling Services
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park covers approximately 250 hectares and is the largest park created in London in 150 years. Over 12,000 homes have been built in the Olympic Park area, and by 2031, over 55,000 people will live around the park. With that scale of housing delivery comes a huge variety of properties – and a huge range of remodelling needs. Here’s what we do most.
Kitchen Remodelling
The kitchen is the heart of any Olympic Park home, and for many local residents it’s the first room that needs attention. Open-plan kitchen living spaces are highly sought after for modern designs in older homes – and redesigning to merge kitchen, dining, and living areas improves flow and creates a sense of space. We design kitchens that suit the typical E20 layout, whether that’s a narrow Victorian terrace or a compact apartment in the East Village, which has 2,818 homes primarily for rent. Mid-range kitchen remodels with quality appliances and contemporary finishes typically cost £20,000–£40,000; premium bespoke designs run from £60,000 upward.
Installing sliding or bifold doors brings in more natural light and connects indoor spaces with gardens – a feature especially valued in homes near the park’s green spaces. Utilizing fitted storage and high-level cabinets is crucial in high-density areas where every centimetre counts. Replacing traditional swinging doors with pocket doors saves space and enhances usability throughout the ground floor.
Bathroom Renovations
A well-designed bathroom adds comfort, style, and real value to your Olympic Park property. We deliver full bathroom transformations – from standard family bathrooms (typically £8,000–£15,000) to premium wet rooms with designer fittings (£18,000–£25,000+). Water-efficient fixtures reduce utility costs and align with the area’s commitment to sustainability. For homes with limited square footage, we specialise in space-efficient layouts that feel far larger than they are. Incorporating under-stair storage units and built-in wardrobes in adjacent spaces helps maintain a minimalist aesthetic throughout the home.
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions can add extra bedrooms or private offices without expanding the property’s footprint – a major advantage in this densely built urban development zone. Mansard or dormer extensions are popular in certain neighborhoods depending on property type, and we advise on the best option for your home’s structure and your planning situation. Costs in the E20 area typically range from £50,000–£90,000, with a timeline of around 16–20 weeks. Creating loft conversions or basement digs is effective for additional bedrooms or offices without expanding the footprint – ideal for young professionals and growing families alike.
Home Extensions
A side-return or wrap-around extension is effective for homes with common ground floor layouts found across Stratford and the Olympic Park area. Single-storey rear extensions (up to about 5m depth) typically cost £45,000–£75,000; double-storey extensions range from £90,000–£150,000 depending on footprint and complexity. We ensure seamless integration with existing property architecture, whether you’re extending a period terrace near Pudding Mill or a modern home in East Wick. Abiding by local amenity tests is required when planning renovations in specific areas – we handle all of this as part of the entire process.
How It Works
We’ve designed our remodelling process to be straightforward, transparent, and tailored to the unique requirements of Olympic Park properties.
Step 1: Free Consultation and Assessment
We visit your Olympic Park property to assess its condition, discuss your design ideas, and understand your budget requirements. Whether your home is located near the London Aquatics Centre, in Chobham Manor, or on the other side of Stratford Station, we come to you. You’ll receive a detailed written quote within 48 hours – no hidden costs, no pressure.
Step 2: Design and Planning
Our team creates detailed design plans for your remodelling project, beginning with initial design concepts and refining them to final specification. We handle all planning applications for the Olympic Park area, working with both the London Legacy Development Corporation and Newham Council as required. A Party Wall Agreement is often necessary for renovations in terraced or semi-detached homes – we manage the entire Party Wall Notice process. Serving a Party Wall Notice to neighbors is necessary when building near property boundaries, and hiring contractors familiar with party wall agreements is crucial for renovations in dense areas. We confirm your timeline and guide you through material selection, drawing on our relationships with local suppliers.
Step 3: Construction and Completion
Professional construction with minimal disruption to your daily life. Managing material storage on small sites requires strategic planning for deliveries – we coordinate all logistics carefully, especially in tightly packed streets. Factors like noise and dust management are important in closely situated homes during renovations, so we take these seriously. You’ll receive regular progress updates and quality inspections throughout, with a final walkthrough once the work is complete. Every project comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

The park features a new cultural district called East Bank, alongside the Aquatics Centre and Velodrome, and over 4,300 semi-mature trees have been planted across its open spaces. The LLDC plans to build 33,000 new homes by 2036 – and as this next phase of housing delivery accelerates, demand for quality remodelling will only grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Costs depend on scope, specification, and property condition. As a guide for the E20 area:
Light refurbishment (new finishes, kitchen and bathroom refresh): ~£650–£1,200 per m²
Mid-range full renovation (structural changes, new kitchen and bathrooms, rewiring): ~£1,200–£1,800 per m²
High-end / premium remodel: £2,500+ per m²
Full renovation of a 3-bedroom house (~110 m²): approximately £132,000–£198,000 at mid-range spec; £200,000–£275,000+ for high-end finishes
Budgeting for a 10–15% contingency is recommended for unforeseen issues in older homes – hidden damp, outdated wiring, or structural surprises. We provide transparent, fixed-price quotes so you know exactly where you stand. Renovating in dense urban areas poses challenges such as limited off-street parking, skip permits, and scaffold licences, which we factor into every estimate.
Typical timeframes for Olympic Park properties:
Kitchen or bathroom remodel: 3–6 weeks
Loft conversion: approximately 16–20 weeks
Single-storey extension: 12–16 weeks
Full house renovation: 6–10 months
Factors that may affect your timeline in the E20 area include planning application processing times, party wall award timescales, leasehold or freeholder consent requirements, and the logistics of working on sites with restricted access or car park limitations. We commit to agreed completion dates and keep you updated at every point.
Yes. The London Legacy Development Corporation oversees planning for properties in Olympic Park, while the London Borough of Newham covers surrounding streets. In conservation areas, strict rules exist regarding external modifications to maintain character – and some properties have permitted development rights curtailed by Article 4 directions. We manage the entire planning process, from pre-application advice to full submissions, and our familiarity with the local plan and Newham’s Altering and Extending Your Home SPD means we design proposals that meet policy requirements from the outset. For leasehold properties, we also coordinate with freeholders and management companies to secure the consents you need.
Properties around the Olympic Park often benefit from energy-efficient upgrades and open-plan living. We recommend:
Install double-glazed thermally broken windows to improve energy efficiency in homes – replacing older windows with high-efficiency glazing also improves sound insulation
Upgrading insulation (walls, loft, floors)
Modern efficient boilers or heat pump installations
Water-efficient fixtures and low-flush systems
The park itself set a sustainability benchmark – the River Lea’s water quality has significantly improved post-development, rainwater harvesting systems were installed at two venues, and the park includes a 2.5km linear park above a former sewer. Upgrading energy efficiency is beneficial for property value and environmental responsibility, and remodelling should embrace open-plan living and prioritize sustainability in urban areas.
Treating the outdoor area as an extension of the home ensures the space is functional and low-maintenance. Remodelling the garden can extend the living area seamlessly within properties – and leveling the patio to sit flush with indoor flooring creates an indoor-outdoor flow that’s especially valued near the park’s green spaces. Incorporating skylights can also transform dark interior spaces into bright areas. We can also improve the entrance to create a vestibule, which acts as a useful buffer zone between the street and living spaces, and design a clear separation between public and private spaces to enhance home layouts.
Reconfiguring internal floor plans can benefit smaller footprint homes – one example is removing a load-bearing wall to create a flowing ground-floor space with steel beam support. We specialise in making compact E20 homes feel significantly larger through smart design, including open-plan living, clever storage solutions, and maximising natural light. All this can be discussed during your free consultation.
