Extensions & Loft Conversions in Hammersmith and Fulham
In Hammersmith and Fulham we are most often asked for side-return kitchen extensions on Victorian terraces and mansard and dormer loft conversions. Conservation areas cover a good part of the borough, and properties near the river fall within Thames flood zones, which affects basement and lower ground floor proposals. Roof extensions on terraces are common but the acceptable form varies from one road to the next.

Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. We work across Hammersmith and Fulham, including Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush, White City and Parsons Green.
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.
