Extensions & Loft Conversions in Clapton
In Clapton and across Hackney we are most often asked for side-return kitchen extensions and mansard loft conversions on butterfly roof terraces. Many residential streets are in conservation areas, so roof extensions, front windows and boundary changes often need consent. Houses commonly have valley or butterfly roofs behind a parapet, which affects what kind of loft conversion is acceptable.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Clapton
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Clapton?
Yes. Clapton is in Hackney, where we work every week alongside Dalston, Stoke Newington, Homerton and Hackney Wick.
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.
