LCCL Construction is based in nearby Finchley N3 and delivers loft conversions across Golders Green and all surrounding NW11 areas as part of our complete design and build service.
Loft Conversions Golders Green: Best Types for Local Properties
The large Edwardian and inter-war semi-detached houses that are common across Golders Green NW11 are ideally suited to hip to gable loft conversions— replacing the sloping hip end of the roof with a vertical gable wall to create a large full-height loft room. Victorian terraced houses suit dormer loft conversions and L-shaped dormer conversions for properties with a back addition.

Can it be done under permitted development?
Most London loft conversions on houses need no planning application. A rear dormer, a hip-to-gable or an L-shaped dormer is permitted development within 40 m³ on a terrace and 50 m³ on a semi or detached house, provided the property is a house (not a flat) and not in a conservation area or on an Article 4 street, and we apply for a Lawful Development Certificate on every one so the position is confirmed in writing before work starts. Our fixed-price permitted development lofts start from £32,400 inc. VAT (£27,000 + VAT) for a Velux loft and £56,400 inc. VAT (£47,000 + VAT) for a rear dormer, at economy specification, design and build inclusive. See our permitted development projects page for every product with its from-price and the checks we run before we confirm a project qualifies.
