Most standard loft conversions qualify as Permitted Development (no planning permission needed) if under 40m³ for terraced or 50m³ for semi-detached, with matching materials and 20cm eaves setback. However Ealing has Article 4 Directions that may remove these rights — and flats, conservation areas and listed buildings always require full planning. We confirm permitted development eligibility at the free feasibility visit.
Our architectural technology fees for a Ealing loft conversion start at £1,225 (planning + building regs + structural). Typical construction build-cost in Ealing is £45,000–£80,000 for a standard dormer and £65,000–£110,000 for a mansard.
Mansards in Ealing are less common historically — Ealing Council considers each application on its merits. Rear mansards on suitable terraced or semi-detached properties, matching the roofscape, have a reasonable approval rate with the right design and supporting heritage commentary where relevant.
2.3m measured from existing ceiling joist to existing ridge is the practical minimum for a standard conversion in Ealing. Below 2.2m usually requires dropping the ceiling below (reducing rooms on the floor beneath) or redesigning as a mansard.
Most Ealing loft conversions trigger Party Wall Act notices — legal notices to all adjoining owners. Rear dormers can also prompt right-to-light considerations in dense terraced streets, particularly in Ealing Broadway. We handle both processes.
