Builders in Colindale
EDDI Construction Ltd is a family-run building and maintenance company working across Colindale and the NW9 area. Colindale is not like the rest of North West London: a large share of it is newer apartment stock, where the work is fit-out and finishing rather than structural. We do that work properly, and we work within the rules a modern block comes with.
Call +44 7492 350404Around Colindale there is a large amount of newer apartment stock, and the work there is fit-out and finishing rather than structural. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, tiling, plastering and decoration — done to a standard that holds up, in a flat where every surface is visible and nothing is hidden behind period detail. A modern flat gives you less to hide behind than a Victorian terrace: the walls are flat, the lines are straight, and poor work shows immediately. That is exactly why the finish matters more here, not less.
Flat work brings its own constraints and we work within them rather than around them. Agreed working hours, lift bookings, parking arranged in advance, and freeholder or managing-agent consent for anything structural. We also keep the communal areas protected and clean — the corridor, the lift, the lobby — which is usually what the neighbours and the managing agent actually care about, and what determines whether you have a problem with either of them halfway through the job.
The most common job we take on in Colindale is a kitchen or bathroom replacement in an apartment. It is a confined job with a fixed layout, because in a flat the supply and waste runs are largely where the building put them, so the design has to work with the services rather than assume they can be moved. We take the room back, deal with what we find behind it, and refit it with one team handling the plumbing, tiling, carpentry and decoration rather than four trades who each blame the last one.
A newly bought apartment is often perfectly sound and completely characterless. Flooring, a proper decoration job, fitted storage, better lighting and joinery are what change that, and none of it needs structural work or consent. It is some of the most satisfying work we do because the difference is immediate and the budget goes a long way when nothing has to be knocked down first.
A good deal of the Colindale stock is rented, and that brings a different kind of job: getting a flat back to a lettable standard between tenancies, quickly and without drama. Making good, replacing what is worn rather than everything, repainting throughout, and sorting the repairs that have accumulated — with the work done to a schedule that gets the property back on the market rather than sitting empty. We take on landlord and property maintenance across NW9 including void refurbishments and repairs between tenancies.
Colindale is not only new flats. There are inter-war houses through the surrounding streets and the cottage estates running towards Burnt Oak and Edgware, and there the work looks like the rest of North West London: render and pointing that needs making good, roof and gutter work, tired kitchens and bathrooms in structurally sound houses, and loft conversions and extensions where the plot allows. We work on all of it and will tell you which category your property falls into before we quote.
Every job starts with a clear, no-obligation quote so you know the price before any work begins. Most of our work in North West London comes from referrals and repeat customers — the best sign that we do things properly.
