Builders in Ealing
Extensions, loft conversions and renovations in Ealing, from a fully insured London building team that understands local planning.
Homes in Ealing
Ealing's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas around Ealing Broadway, Hanwell and Northfields, with large areas of 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses in Greenford, Perivale and Northolt.
What we build here
Side-return and rear extensions on terraces, hip-to-gable and rear dormer lofts on 1930s semis, and whole-house renovations.
Planning and conservation in Ealing
Planning and building control in this area are handled by Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing). Ealing has many conservation areas, and parts of the borough are covered by Article 4 directions. Garden-suburb streets such as Brentham have particularly detailed design controls. Before you design, check whether your property is in a conservation area, is listed or is covered by an Article 4 direction; these change what you can build without permission. Our guide to permitted development in London explains the national rules, and loft conversion regulations covers roof works.
Our office is in Hanwell, on Uxbridge Road W7, so Ealing is our home borough.
Typical building costs in Ealing
Building costs in Ealing typically follow outer London rates of about £2,500 to £3,500 per m² for standard residential work, with high specifications and tricky access at the upper end or above. Budget on top for professional fees (about 15%), consents and contingency (8–15%) and VAT at 20% on extensions and renovations. These are indicative industry ranges for 2026, not a quote; see our London cost guide or request a fixed quote.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Ealing?
It depends on your property. Houses outside conservation areas may be able to use permitted development, while flats, conservation areas and Article 4 directions usually mean an application to Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing). A Lawful Development Certificate gives certainty.
