Ealing Loft Conversion Specialists
The extra bedroom is already in your roof.
Nexus Lofts & Extensions is a loft conversion company based in Ealing, W5. We build across Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, South Ealing, Northfields, Pitshanger, Hanger Hill, Ealing Common and Hanwell, and we do the whole job ourselves: architectural design, structural calculations, the application to Ealing Council, party wall notices, building control and the build. Most Ealing lofts complete in six to ten weeks on site, and you stay in the house throughout.
What suits your house
Ealing roofs, and what each one will give you.
Ealing is not one housing stock. The right conversion depends on whether you are in a 1930s semi off Hanger Lane or a Victorian terrace behind Ealing Broadway, and getting that call right at the start is most of the job.
1930s semis, Hanger Hill & Pitshanger
Hipped roofs with a shallow pitch. A hip-to-gable squares off the side slope and a rear dormer takes the rest, which is usually enough for a double bedroom, an en-suite and built-in storage. Most fall under permitted development unless you are inside the Hanger Hill Garden Estate conservation area.
Usually best: Hip-to-gable + rear dormer
Edwardian semis, Ealing Common & Northfields
Generous ridge heights and deep roofs, so headroom is rarely the problem. A well-proportioned rear dormer keeps the front elevation untouched, which matters on the streets covered by an Article 4 direction or conservation control.
Usually best: Rear dormer
Victorian terraces, West Ealing & Hanwell
Narrow plans with a rear outrigger. An L-shaped dormer wraps the main roof into the back addition and typically yields two usable rooms rather than one, with the staircase landing over the existing return.
Usually best: L-shaped dormer
Post-war and 1960s stock, South Ealing
Lower ridges and trussed roofs that need structural work before anything else. We price the steelwork properly rather than discover it halfway through, and in some cases a ridge raise makes the difference between a usable room and a cupboard.
Usually best: Dormer with structural upgrade
Planning & permissions
Getting it through Ealing Council.
Most Ealing loft conversions can be built under Permitted Development, which means no full planning application, provided the added volume stays within the allowance, the dormer sits to the rear and the materials match the existing house. We normally still apply for a Lawful Development Certificate, because it is what your solicitor will ask for when you sell.
Ealing operates a number of conservation areas and Article 4 directions, including parts of Ealing Common, Montpelier, Pitshanger and the Hanger Hill Garden Estate. Inside those, permitted development rights are removed and a full application is required, with more attention paid to roof form, materials and how the change reads from the street. We have taken these through before and design to what Ealing will actually approve rather than submitting and hoping.
Either way you also need building control approval and, on almost any Ealing terrace or semi, a party wall notice served on your neighbours. We prepare all of it, and you get one point of contact rather than a chain of consultants.
