Local Challenges
Loft Extensions in Ealing
The traditional timber roof construction of Ealing's Victorian and Edwardian properties requires significant structural intervention to convert. Our designs address how to support the new floor, trim openings for stairs, and strengthen the roof to accommodate dormer windows or a mansard. In conservation areas, Ealing's planning policies often restrict the size and visibility of dormers, influencing the structural form.
