Extensions & Loft Conversions in Northfields
In Northfields and across Ealing we are most often asked for rear and wraparound extensions on Edwardian houses and loft conversions with rear dormers. Ealing has many conservation areas, including its garden suburbs, where even small changes to doors, windows and hedges can be controlled. Large street trees are common, and both tree protection and the clay subsoil should be considered when designing extension foundations.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Northfields
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Northfields?
Yes. Northfields is in Ealing, where we work every week alongside Ealing, Acton, Southall and Greenford.
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.
