NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle loft conversions, dormers and mansards in Westminster SW1P, 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.
SW1P is Georgian terraces and mansion blocks close to the Thames. Nearly every home is an apartment.
Many roofs here are seen across open spaces. Westminster does not normally extend roofs exposed to long views.
Conservation areas cover about 76% of the city. More than 11,000 buildings are listed.
In a listed house, consent can reach the roof timbers and upper rooms.
So a new floor is rare. Using the existing void, with consent, is the likelier route.
What the city allows on a Westminster roof.
- Council
- City of Westminster, for planning and listed building consent alike.
- Long views
- Roofs exposed to long views from public spaces are not normally extended.
- Finished terraces
- A terrace already completed with roof storeys is not normally extended again.
- Listed buildings
- Listed consent can cover the roof structure and the top floor rooms.
- Flats
- A flat has no householder permitted development rights. Roof changes need planning.

What a loft conversion costs in Westminster.
Most SW1P roof briefs end as top floor refurbishments, priced as such.
We price a roof storey only once consent looks likely.
Fees, party wall costs, contingency and VAT are always added.

Can a Westminster SW1P mansion block flat gain a roof room?
Rarely. The roof belongs to the freeholder, and planning is always required.
Blocks seen in long views are not normally extended.
Does a river view make a Westminster roof harder to change?
It can. Roofs exposed to long public views are protected.
Added bulk there is not normally accepted.
Can a Westminster terrace that already has roof storeys go higher?
Usually not. A completed terrace is not normally extended again.
Improving the existing top floor is the usual alternative.
What can I do with the roof void above a Westminster flat?
With the freeholder’s consent, it may become storage or a mezzanine.
Any outside change still needs planning, and listed consent where relevant.
