Barnet's house wards — Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill, Whetstone and Totteridge — are full of 1930s semi-detached and Edwardian/Victorian terraced homes, exactly the stock where loft conversions and rear extensions add the most. TrustBuilt Projects works across the Barnet house wards: Finchley (N3, N12), Hendon (NW4), Mill Hill (NW7), Whetstone & Totteridge (N20) and the Golders Green edge (NW11).
Most of Barnet's house wards are 1930s semi-detached suburbia — Finchley, Hendon and Whetstone — with pockets of Edwardian and Victorian terraces and larger detached, period homes in Mill Hill and Totteridge. The classic Barnet job is a loft conversion plus a rear or side extension on a 1930s semi: a hip-to-gable or dormer loft adds a master bedroom and en-suite in the roof, while a rear extension opens the kitchen into a family dining space. Conservation areas — Finchley Church End, Mill Hill (strung along The Ridgeway), Totteridge village, Hendon Church End and The Burroughs — need a full planning application and sympathetic detailing.
Barnet is also home to one of London's most established Chinese and Hong Kong communities, anchored around Colindale and the Bang Bang Oriental food hall — a good share of our enquiries come from HK homeowners across the Finchley, Hendon and Mill Hill house wards. The building work itself is on those house wards, not the new-build flats around Colindale.

The work we deliver most often for Barnet homeowners:
We've recently delivered a hip-to-gable loft conversion on a 1930s semi in Finchley, a rear extension in Hendon, and a sympathetic period restoration near Mill Hill's Ridgeway.
Yes — we cover Barnet's house wards (N3, N12, NW4, NW7, N20 and the NW11 edge) including Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill, Whetstone, Totteridge and Golders Green.
A loft conversion paired with a rear or side extension. A hip-to-gable or dormer loft adds a master bedroom and en-suite in the roof, while a rear extension opens the kitchen into a family dining space. Together they're the standard Barnet upgrade on a 1930s semi.
Many loft conversions and rear extensions on semis fall under permitted development. Conservation areas — Finchley Church End, Mill Hill (The Ridgeway), Totteridge, Hendon Church End and The Burroughs — and any home that has lost its PD rights need a full planning application. We advise on this at the free site visit.
