Hackney is defined by streets of Victorian terraces in Stoke Newington, Dalston and Clapton, Georgian survivals in De Beauvoir, and new-build stock around the Olympic Park at Hackney Wick, all within one of London’s most design-conscious planning authorities.

Local Knowledge
Building & Planning Considerations in Hackney
Hackney has around 29 to 35 conservation areas and applies Article 4 directions within several of them, including Brownswood, Well Street, Beck Road and Shacklewell Green, requiring planning permission for roof and side extensions on those specific streets. A borough-wide Article 4 direction also covers the conversion of houses into small houses in multiple occupation, and the council's design guidance means mansard roof extensions are routinely approved on rear-of-terrace positions within conservation areas when the detailing is right.
Every quote we provide for a Hackney property starts with a check against Hackney Council's conservation area maps and Article 4 register, so you know exactly which route your project needs before any design work begins.

Reviews from Hackney
“We had our kitchen and bathroom done at the same time and expected chaos. Instead we got one site manager, one clear schedule, and a fixed price that didn’t move once.

Common Questions
FAQs for Hackney Homeowners
Are mansard loft conversions realistic in Hackney's conservation areas?
Often, yes. Hackney's design guidance routinely supports mansard roof extensions in rear-of-terrace positions within conservation areas, provided the materials, proportions and detailing respect the surrounding streetscape, which is why we design every mansard scheme around the specific conservation area appraisal for that street.
How quickly can you start a project in Hackney?
Once your survey is complete and any required planning approval is granted, most projects in Hackney start on site within 2 to 4 weeks, subject to our current schedule.
Do you handle planning permission and Building Regulations in Hackney?
Yes. We manage the full planning and Building Regulations process for Hackney projects, including liaising with Hackney Council where a planning application is required.
Do I need to get multiple quotes before choosing a builder in Hackney?
It is always sensible to compare quotes, but make sure you are comparing fixed, itemised prices based on a proper site survey rather than rough estimates, since these rarely match the final bill.
