Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in London?
Not always. Many loft conversions fall under 'Permitted Development' (PD) rights, especially in non-conservation areas. LLAC manages the entire application process or Lawful Development Certificate to ensure full compliance with London borough regulations.
How long does a typical house extension take to complete?
A standard rear or side-return extension typically takes 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed project timeline from the start, with weekly progress meetings to keep you updated every step of the way.
What are the typical costs for a London home renovation?
Costs vary based on scope and finishes, but we pride ourselves on transparent, fixed-price contracts. Our quotations are comprehensive, covering everything from structural work to prime-cost items, preventing unwelcome surprises.
Can I stay in my home during a construction project?
For most loft conversions and small extensions, clients can remain in situ. For major renovations, we implement strict dust screening and safety protocols. We manage site cleanliness daily to minimize disruption to your family life.
How does LLAC handle project management?
You will have a dedicated Project Manager who oversees our skilled in-house team. We coordinate all subcontractors, building control inspections, and material deliveries, providing you with a single, professional point of contact.
Are your projects covered by warranties?
Absolutely. We provide a comprehensive 10-year structural guarantee on all major works, giving you long-term peace of mind and protecting the value of your London property investment.
