Extensions & Loft Conversions in Beckton
In Beckton and across Newham we are most often asked for rear extensions on Victorian terraces and loft conversions with rear dormers. The council controls conversions of family houses into shared accommodation and operates property licensing for rented homes, so landlords should confirm requirements before altering layouts. Forest Gate has conservation areas where original fronts and windows are expected to be kept.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Beckton
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Beckton?
Yes. Beckton is in Newham, where we work every week alongside Stratford, East Ham, West Ham and Plaistow.
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.
