Modern Prefabricated Living in London
Adacon provides the P600 modular building system, a steel-framed solution designed for longevity and comfort. These are not "converted containers"; they are purpose-built residential-grade modules manufactured in our controlled facility and delivered to London sites ready for immediate use. Each module provides approximately 13m² of floor space, and they can be joined side-by-side or stacked to create larger prefabricated homes that meet your specific spatial requirements.
Residential Applications for London Sites
Our modular systems are particularly suited to the unique constraints of the London property market. We work with homeowners across all boroughs, from the dense residential streets of Islington to the more expansive plots in Bromley and Croydon. Typical applications include:
- Independent Annexes: Providing self-contained living for elderly relatives or adult children.
- Garden Studios: High-specification spaces that exceed the quality of a standard timber summerhouse.
- Guest Accommodation: Fully insulated units with integrated shower rooms and kitchenettes.
- Home Extensions: A modular alternative to traditional brickwork that avoids months of on-site contractor presence.
Typical Configurations and Layouts
The P600 system is highly flexible, allowing you to design a home that fits your specific London plot. You can experiment with these layouts using our online configurator.
Single Module (13m²)
Ideal as a studio apartment or a luxury garden room. This configuration typically includes a main living/sleeping area and can be fitted with a compact WC and shower compartment.
Two-Module Link (26m²)
A popular choice for a one-bedroom annexe. By joining two modules side-by-side, you create enough space for a separate bedroom, a living area with a kitchenette, and a full bathroom.
Four+ Module Homes (52m²+)
For those with larger plots in the outer London boroughs, multiple modules can be arranged in L-shapes or two-storey blocks to create a multi-bedroom family home with internal staircases.
What is Included as Standard
Every Adacon building is delivered with a high-quality internal finish, reducing the need for local trades. The standard specification includes:
- Fully insulated floor, walls, and roof for year-round thermal performance.
- Professional plastered and painted internal walls.
- Durable laminate flooring throughout.
- LED lighting and a generous distribution of electrical sockets.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and secure external doors.
- External cladding in a range of colours, allowing you to match the aesthetic of your primary London residence.
Optional extras include air conditioning (essential for London summers), integrated kitchenettes, and full sanitary ware for bathrooms.
Indicative Pricing for London Projects
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the layout and the chosen internal options. For residential use in London, indicative price bands are:
- Single Module Units: Starting from approximately £21,500.
- Multi-Module Annexes: Typically ranging between £43,000 and £86,000.
These prices include delivery to London and Northern Ireland. Please note that groundworks, final utility connections, and cranage (if required for restricted access) are quoted separately following a site assessment.
Delivery and Access in London
London presents unique logistical challenges, from the Red Routes of the City to the narrow Victorian terraced streets of East London. Our modules are transported via major trunk roads like the M25, M1, and M4, typically arriving on flatbed lorries. For sites with restricted access, we often utilise Hiab crane vehicles or independent mobile cranes to lift modules over existing structures or into tight garden spaces.
We recommend customers consider the following for London deliveries:
- Parking Suspensions: You may need to coordinate with your local council (e.g., Camden, Lambeth, or Westminster) to reserve space for delivery vehicles.
- Overhead Obstructions: Low bridges or low-hanging trees on residential streets.
- Base Preparation: The customer is responsible for a level, prepared base, though we can provide guidance on the required specifications.
Planning and Building Regulations
Planning rules for prefabricated homes vary significantly across the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. While many garden annexes fall under permitted development or the Caravan Sites Act, we strongly advise all customers to contact their local planning authority. Adacon buildings are designed with high-specification materials, but compliance with site-specific building regulations remains the responsibility of the homeowner.
