Extensions & Loft Conversions in Muswell Hill
In Muswell Hill and across Haringey we are most often asked for kitchen extensions on Edwardian houses and loft conversions on Victorian terraces in Harringay. Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Highgate and a number of Tottenham streets are conservation areas, some with controls on windows, doors and front walls. Hilly streets in the west, clay soil and mature trees should be factored into extension and landscaping plans.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Muswell Hill
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Muswell Hill?
Yes. Muswell Hill is in Haringey, where we work every week alongside Tottenham, Wood Green, Crouch End and Hornsey.
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.
