Extensions & Loft Conversions in Kenton
In Kenton and across Harrow we are most often asked for side and rear extensions on 1930s semis and hip-to-gable loft conversions. Harrow on the Hill, Pinner and parts of Stanmore are conservation areas with tight controls on materials and frontages. On the typical inter-war semi, side extensions are assessed for their effect on the gap between houses, so designs often need setting back or in.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Kenton
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Kenton?
Yes. Kenton is in Harrow, where we work every week alongside Harrow, Pinner, Stanmore and Wealdstone.
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.
