Loft Conversions and Home Extensions in Acton

At The Market Design and Build, we believe in moving up instead of moving on! Suppose you’re after some additional living space. In that case, a new bedroom for an extra little family member on the way, or you want a cost-effective way to add value to your home; a loft conversion could be the right solution for you. Your new dream home in West London could be the one you already live in!

We recognise and understand that different homes, different goals and different dreams require different solutions. It’s important to consider what you intend to use your loft conversion space for, as well as size, before going ahead and converting.

We can build any type of loft conversion, including the three most popular designs:
– The rear dormer, which extends into a box from a sloped roof.
– The Velux conversion, which retains the shape of your existing loft roof and installs Velux windows into the roof space.
– The hip-to-gable conversion, extending your floor and ceiling space by replacing a sloped hip roof with a standard flat gable roof.

We will help you understand which type of conversion is possible to meet your vision and requirements, making your dream loft conversion in Acton a reality.

Since loft conversions are considered ‘permitted development’, you usually won’t need to obtain planning permission beforehand. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your local Acton council before making any alterations to your home since many of the buildings around the area are historical and near to other houses and landmarks. 

A well planned, carefully costed, and expertly constructed loft conversion or house extension in Acton can add up to 20% to the value of your home! It’s cited as one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to add value to your home by the Nationwide Building Society, so it’s absolutely worth looking at as an investment rather than an expense. 

We here at The Market Design and Build are with you every step of the way when it comes to your loft conversion. From design and planning to construction and costs, right through to the final finishing touches, we strive to provide a reliable service with excellent avenues of communication. We will take the stress out of the whole process, planning the initial design based on your needs and vision while helping you to remain within budget and still obtaining the best possible value for money.

Yes, there absolutely are! A home extension could be your ideal space solution if a loft conversion isn’t possible due to structural or spatial requirements. We’re known at The Market Design and Build as professional house extension experts with plenty of experience and successful case studies behind us.

Our knowledgeable and highly skilled team can help to create:
– Side return extensions, which make use of disused space to the side or rear of your property
– Kitchen extensions, which do exactly as you’d expect whilst adding value to your home!
– Single and double storey rear extensions, which are perfect for expanding into your garden space and offering a solution for properties such as terraced houses, which do not have a side return. 
– Wrap-around extensions, that combine the best features of all those previously mentioned to create an impressive, L-shaped extension that can completely transform how you live in your home.

Planning permission for home extensions in Acton is not always needed with recently relaxed laws that allow for a generous single-storey extension of up to six metres. However, we do have a process to follow if this is required. Remember, we are here to help if you’re unsure about any planning laws and permissions!
