Every Hammersmith and Fulham postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a mansard roof extension there. Hammersmith and Fulham fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not mansard roof extension estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a mansard roof extension |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW6 | Fulham / Parsons Green | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | A mansard roof extension at an SW6 address in Fulham / Parsons Green is determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council under its own Local Plan policies for Fulham / Parsons Green. |
| W6 | Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | A mansard roof extension at an W6 address in Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village is determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council under its own Local Plan policies for Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village. |
| W12 | Shepherd's Bush / White City | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | Shepherd's Bush / White City sits wholly inside W12, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every mansard roof extension submitted from an W12 address. |
| W14 | West Kensington / Barons Court | Victorian and Edwardian villas | W14 straddles a boundary: West Kensington / Barons Court addresses fall to Hammersmith & Fulham Council or RBKC Planning, so confirm which authority validates the mansard roof extension before submitting W14 drawings. |
| SW10 | West Brompton / World's End | Georgian and Victorian terraces, listed buildings | West Brompton / World's End is split at SW10. Either RBKC Planning or Hammersmith & Fulham Council can determine a mansard roof extension here, so the SW10 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Hammersmith and Fulham streets, and each one changes what a mansard roof extension can achieve at that address.
Conservation areas covering Hammersmith and Fulham: Hammersmith & Fulham Council runs 45, and Parsons Green, Walham Green, Hammersmith Grove are the ones Hammersmith and Fulham owners meet most. A mansard roof extension inside a Hammersmith and Fulham conservation area loses permitted development, so the Hammersmith and Fulham submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Hammersmith Grove a mansard roof extension is judged on the street elevation first.
What Article 4 removes near Hammersmith and Fulham: Article 4 removes PD for HMO conversions; restrictions on ground-floor shop-to-residential in certain streets. Before pricing a mansard roof extension we check whether the SW6 address is inside the mapped area, because Hammersmith & Fulham Council draws the Hammersmith and Fulham boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Direct answers to the questions Hammersmith and Fulham homeowners ask every week about mansard roof extensions.
Start a free quote →Very often yes in Hammersmith and Fulham. Rear mansards are routinely approved by Hammersmith & Fulham Council where the design matches the terrace — including within conservation areas like Hammersmith Grove. A Heritage Statement and sensitive design following the borough's published guidance are essential for conservation area mansards.
A 70° front slope is typical for Hammersmith and Fulham mansards — steep enough to maximise floor area while reading as a roof rather than a full additional storey. Front dormers should be small and symmetrical. Hammersmith & Fulham Council's design guide (where published) takes precedence on detail.
Often yes, but Hammersmith & Fulham Council favours applications supported by wider street precedents. Where mansards already exist nearby in Hammersmith and Fulham, approval is far more likely. We review street precedents at the feasibility stage.
A Hammersmith and Fulham mansard carries more design work than a dormer — heritage statement, street-elevation massing and conservation-led detailing on top of planning, building regulations and structural calculations. Build cost then varies with size, roof geometry and site access. Our design fee is fixed before we start; see our fees.
Full-height — typically 2.3–2.5m ceiling from the new floor. Unlike a dormer, which gives partial head height, a mansard provides a complete additional storey within Hammersmith and Fulham's victorian and Edwardian terraces — particularly two-storey bay-fronted terraces south of the terraced context.
We cover all Hammersmith and Fulham postcodes — W6, W12, W14, SW6, SW10 — and have submitted mansard applications across the borough. Our heritage statement and design-and-access statement are included in every mansard package.
Hammersmith and Fulham's victorian and Edwardian terraces — particularly two-storey bay-fronted terraces south of the terraced stock is the natural context for mansard extensions — they were originally designed for Victorian and Edwardian rows. Feasibility depends on street precedent, conservation area status and party wall implications. We assess all three at the free site visit.
A mansard adds a full upper storey — typically 35–45m² of usable floor space. In Hammersmith and Fulham this often converts a 3-bed house to 4 or 5 beds. The steep front slope (70°) and flat top read as a roof, not a full floor, which is why Hammersmith & Fulham Council accepts them more readily than a simple box extension.
