No. We offer a completely seamless Design & Build service. We work closely with leading local architects and party wall surveyors who recommend us. We can manage your architectural drawing, structural engineer calculations and party wall notices from start to finish. If you already have your own plans, we are equally happy to work from them!
In most cases across Surrey and South West London, loft conversions fall under Permitted Development (PD) rules. This means you do not need full planning permission, provided the design meets specific volume limits. If your property is in a conversation area or requires full planning consent, our team handles the entire application process with your local council for you.
A standard Dormer or Velux conversion typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks from the day the scaffolding goes up to the final structural sign-off. L-shaped or more complex structural extensions can take slightly longer, which we will clearly detail in your fixed timeline before work begins
Absolutely not. We design our build process to cause the absolute minimum disruption to your family life. For the first few weeks, our structural team accesses your loft entirely from the outside via scaffolding. We only cut the structural opening for your new staircase towards the final stages of the build, meaning your main living areas remain clean, safe and undisturbed.
