Extensions & Loft Conversions in Merton Park
In Merton Park and across Merton we are most often asked for side-return extensions on terraces in South Wimbledon and loft conversions. Wimbledon and Merton Park contain several conservation areas where fronts, roofs and boundary treatments are controlled. Homes facing a common or green may have added restrictions on driveways and crossovers, so confirm with the council first.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Merton Park
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Merton Park?
Yes. Merton Park is in Merton, where we work every week alongside Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden and Raynes Park.
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.
