Which areas do you cover?
North and North West London, north of the Thames, from the M25 in to central London. That includes Camden, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, Hampstead, West Hampstead, Highgate, Muswell Hill, Finchley, Golders Green, Temple Fortune, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Hendon and the surrounding areas.
What size of project do you take on?
Our typical contracts run from £50,000 to £1 million or more: full house refurbishments, loft conversions, extensions and high-end or bespoke refurbishments. We sometimes take on smaller works when our schedule allows.
What does your price include?
Our quotation covers the building work and everything we can include in-house. Architect, planning, structural engineer and building control fees are charged on top, but we arrange all of them for you, so you do not need to deal with them yourself.
Do you handle planning permission, party wall agreements and building control?
Yes. We arrange the architect, planning application, structural engineer, party wall agreements and building control as part of the project.
How long does a project take?
As a guide: a loft conversion takes 2 to 3 months, an extension 3 to 4 months, and a full house refurbishment with a loft conversion and extension 9 to 12 months. Timescales vary with the complexity of the job and the weather.
How soon can you start?
As of November 2026 our lead time is around six months, though we can sometimes start sooner depending on the project.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £5 million public liability and £10 million employer's liability insurance, plus contract works insurance that covers materials on site.
Do you guarantee your work?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months as standard, which can be extended to 24 months depending on the project. We can also arrange an extended warranty of up to 10 years. Windows and doors from specialist suppliers carry their manufacturers' 5 to 10-year warranties.
Are your electricians and gas engineers registered?
Yes. Electrical work is carried out by NICEIC-registered electricians and gas work by Gas Safe-registered engineers.
How do payments work?
A small deposit, then stage payments as the work progresses, with a three-month retention.
How long have you been in business?
Vincent Farkas has worked in the building trade since 1995 and has traded as Vin-Dec since 2004. Vin-Dec Professional Refurbishment Ltd was incorporated in 2013.
