Can I extend a house in Ealing?
Victorian and suburban houses across a wide borough, with conservation areas in the older centres.
Places people mean include Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Greenford, Southall.
A rear extension or a loft is the usual plan. On the Victorian terraces, the neighbour’s light matters as much as the size. Further out, plots are wider.
Ealing and Bedford Park are examples of places where the look of the street is protected. A standard UPVC dormer can be the wrong answer there.
