Extensions & Loft Conversions in Chingford Mount
In Chingford Mount and across Waltham Forest we are most often asked for side-return extensions on Victorian terraces and loft conversions in Walthamstow and Leyton. Walthamstow Village and several other pockets are conservation areas, and the Warner properties are valued locally for their original detailing. Purpose-built maisonettes count as flats for planning purposes, so extensions and loft conversions on them need full permission.

FAQ
Extensions & Lofts in Chingford Mount
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out extensions & loft conversions in Chingford Mount?
Yes. Chingford Mount is in Waltham Forest, where we work every week alongside Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone and Chingford.
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.
