Extensions & Loft Conversions in Earlsfield
In Earlsfield and across Wandsworth we are most often asked for side-return and rear kitchen extensions and dormer loft conversions on terraced houses. There are conservation areas around the commons and in parts of Putney and Battersea, where changes to fronts, roofs and boundary walls need checking first. A new driveway needs a council-approved dropped kerb, and street trees or parking bays can affect whether one is granted.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Earlsfield
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Earlsfield?
Yes. Earlsfield is in Wandsworth, where we work every week alongside Battersea, Balham, Tooting and Putney.
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.
