House Extensions in Ealing.
An extension is the surest way to get the open-plan kitchen and dining room most families want, and the houses in Ealing generally lend themselves to it: a side return to fill, a rear garden to build into, or on larger plots room for a full-width or double-storey addition.
We design the extension around how you will use it, not around the maximum footprint the rules allow. That means thinking about light, the level change to the garden, where the kitchen sits, how the old and new parts of the house meet and what happens to the rooms you already have. The structural engineering, party wall matters and building control inspections are all handled by us.
Approvals are checked on the first visit. Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development, but the London Borough of Ealing applies tighter rules in conservation areas and to flats and listed buildings, so we confirm the route before any drawings are produced and then manage the application if one is needed.

Ealing: the houses and the planning rules.
Ealing, the Queen of the Suburbs, has some of the best family housing in west London: substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses around Ealing Common and Haven Green, red-brick villas along the roads towards Ealing Broadway, and the Arts and Crafts cottages of Brentham Garden Suburb. Several districts are conservation areas.
We have completed two bathroom refurbishments and a fitted kitchen in Ealing, one with a freestanding black bath and walk-in shower, one with Italian tiles and bespoke furniture, and a handle-less kitchen with a quartz island.
The Ealing Common, Ealing Green, Haven Green, Castlebar and Brentham Garden Suburb conservation areas cover the older streets.
London Borough of Ealing
Ealing decides applications. Outside the conservation areas, rear extensions and lofts are often permitted development; within them, Article 4 directions apply on many streets.
Edwardian houses
Deep plans with rear additions suit side-return and wraparound extensions; the roofs generally have enough headroom for a dormer loft.
Brentham Garden Suburb
Tight controls on external changes; internal refurbishment is unaffected but needs building regulations approval.
Approvals for house extensions in Ealing.
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development within the 3 or 4 metre limits, or 6 and 8 metres under prior approval. Conservation areas, flats, listed buildings and larger schemes need a householder application, and every extension needs building regulations approval.

House Extensions in Ealing: your questions.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Ealing?
Not always. Permitted development covers many single-storey rear extensions on houses, but the London Borough of Ealing removes those rights in some conservation areas, and flats and listed buildings always need an application. We confirm the route at the site visit.
How long does an extension take to build?
Ten to sixteen weeks on site for a single-storey extension once approvals are in place, plus the design and approval period beforehand. Glazing has the longest lead time, so we order it early.
