Extensions & Loft Conversions in Chalk Farm
In Chalk Farm and across Camden we are most often asked for rear and lower ground floor extensions and roof terrace and loft works. Conservation areas and listed buildings are found in every part of the borough, and basement proposals have to meet detailed council requirements. On the Hampstead and Highgate slopes, ground conditions, mature trees and drainage deserve early advice from an engineer.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Chalk Farm
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Chalk Farm?
Yes. Chalk Farm is in Camden, where we work every week alongside Hampstead, Camden Town, Kentish Town and Belsize Park.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, which has size limits and does not apply to flats, maisonettes or some conservation areas. We check your property at the site visit and tell you which route applies before you spend anything on drawings.
How long does an extension take?
A typical single-storey rear extension takes around 10 to 14 weeks on site once approvals are in place. A loft conversion is usually 8 to 12 weeks. We give you a written programme with the quote so you know what happens each week.
Can we live in the house during the work?
Usually yes. We seal off the working area, keep a kitchen and bathroom running wherever possible, and agree the noisy or dusty days with you in advance.
