Extensions & Loft Conversions in Newington Green
In Newington Green and across Islington we are most often asked for rear extensions on Georgian and Victorian terraces. Conservation areas cover a large part of Islington and the council pays close attention to rooflines, rear extensions and windows on its terraces. Gardens are small and access is often through the house, which is worth raising at the design stage.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Newington Green
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Newington Green?
Yes. Newington Green is in Islington, where we work every week alongside Angel, Highbury, Holloway and Archway.
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.
