Progress at Southwood Avenue, London🏗️

Our structural phase is flying! We're currently managing the crucial basement underpinning while installing the structural steel to the upper floors.

This new lower-ground space and rear extension is a complex engineering challenge that we're excited to be tackling.

Honouring history, winning awards!

Broomlands Farm, site of the county's first mechanised threshing barn, stands as a testament to agricultural innovation. Our work repurposing original machinery on this remarkable project was recognised with a Sussex Heritage Trust Award.

âś… Offering solid advice
âś… Backing each other up

Whether it’s a client meeting or a team decision, we expect everyone to lead with clarity and care. The goal? A workplace where people can rely on each other, and a service clients can trust.

Wren’s Hill, Surrey

A 4,500 sq ft Georgian-style home with heavyweight construction and no room for error.

The client wanted a traditional look and feel, but with modern performance and a high-spec finish. That meant tight tolerances, solid materials, and a layout that had to be right first time.

We handled the structural design to make that happen.
📍 Four-square Georgian layout
📍 Heavy upper floors
📍 High-end build expectations

We made it work, without compromising speed or quality on site.

Thinking about a renovation? Read this before you touch a shared wall.

Whether you’re adding a basement or fixing up a terrace, the Party Wall Etc Act 1996 might apply to your plans. That means notices, surveyors, and legal steps you can’t afford to skip.

We’ve written a full step-by-step guide that breaks it all down in plain English:
âś… When you need to serve notice
âś… How to avoid legal delays
âś… What a party wall award is
âś… Why condition schedules matter
✅ What to do if your neighbour isn’t playing ball

This guide will save you time, stress, and possibly a legal bill.

I is for Innovation

At Toynbee Associates, innovation doesn’t mean fancy gadgets or jargon-filled tech. It means doing things better than we did yesterday.

That could be a sharper internal process, a clearer way to communicate with clients, or a digital tool that actually saves time instead of wasting it.

We don’t chase trends. We focus on what works. Simple improvements. Clearer service. Fewer headaches for everyone.
That’s the kind of innovation we believe in.

🛠️Works are progressing at 24 Broomhouse Road

Work is moving steadily at one of our exciting projects in Fulham. At 24 Broomhouse Road, the ground floor structure is now in place, giving real shape to the space above. Underpinning is largely complete, which means we’ve passed one of the more complex structural milestones.

We’re now shifting focus toward the bulk excavation, where we begin carving out the full depth and volume of the basement. Alongside this, installation of the wine cellar is already underway, bringing some of the finer details into play even at this early stage.

We’re also fortunate to be working with the talented team at Malin & Lynn, whose architectural vision is bringing clarity and elegance to every part of the design. The site team is working with precision and care. It’s always exciting to see these critical phases come together on a site where so much is happening below ground.

More soon!

🏆 We’re thrilled to share that we won the Mid-Scale Residential category at the 2025 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards!

Our engineering team worked on the transformation of a set of 1880s threshing barns into four high-end homes. These barns might be the oldest mechanised threshing barns in the South East.

Highlights:
âś… New houses placed inside the original horseshoe-shaped brick barns
âś… Original brickwork cleaned and preserved
âś… Exposed internal timber trusses kept intact
✅ Four one-of-a-kind homes that respect the site’s heritage

Huge thanks to everyone involved. What a project. What a result.

U is for Understanding

Every project we take on starts with one goal. Understand what actually matters to the client.

We don’t just jump into technical work. We listen. We ask the right questions. We figure out what success looks like for the people we’re working with.

It’s not just about getting the answer right. It’s about making sure the client feels confident, informed and supported from start to finish.

That’s what builds trust. That’s what lasts.
