Extensions & Loft Conversions in Bethnal Green
We build extensions and convert lofts across Tower Hamlets. Works to flats need planning permission for most external changes and usually a licence from the freeholder or managing agent as well. The older terraces in Spitalfields, Bow and Bethnal Green are often listed or in conservation areas.

Homes in Tower Hamlets
Flats make up most of the housing: post-war and inter-war council estates across Stepney, Poplar and Bethnal Green, converted warehouses in Wapping and Limehouse, and high-rise apartments on the Isle of Dogs. Houses are fewer, mainly early Georgian terraces in Spitalfields and Victorian terraces in Bow and around Victoria Park.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Bethnal Green
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Bethnal Green?
Yes. Bethnal Green is in Tower Hamlets, where we work every week alongside Bow, Poplar, Stepney and Whitechapel.
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.
