NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle loft conversions, dormers and mansards in West London W/SW, under one contract. A main dormer loft typically runs £90k to £140k. A mansard loft runs £140k to £220k. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

A loft here is judged by the street as much as by the house. Where a terrace roofline is untouched, an added storey is usually resisted.

Where several neighbours have already built up, filling the gap can be accepted. So we walk the street before we draw anything.

Fulham’s guidance treats front roof extensions as generally unacceptable. So dormers sit at the back. In Kensington and Chelsea, a mansard depends on the neighbours.

We renewed a Fulham family house from the basement to the roof. A Chelsea terrace we renovated finishes in a roof terrace.

What the borough allows on a West London roof.

Council: Kensington and Chelsea governs Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill, through its 2024 Local Plan. Fulham sits with Hammersmith and Fulham.
Policy CD12: Roof changes must suit the character of the building and its group.
Intact terraces: No extra storey where the group roofline is unaltered.
Broken terraces: Where several houses already rose, filling the gaps can be accepted.
Pitched roofs: Roofs with eaves are named as unsuitable for an added storey.
Upper flats: A flat has no householder permitted development rights. The freeholder must also agree.
