BUILDING IN BATTERSEA
Battersea is undergoing rapid change. From the Between-the-Commons triangle full of period houses to the new Power Station district, the area is rich with period homes ready for sympathetic extension and loft conversion.
Dormer and mansard conversions adapt to roof shapes; we make sure they harmonise with the street.
Battersea work includes a mansard conversion on a Victorian terrace, a rear extension with garden views and an interior fit-out in a new Power Station apartment.
Local advantage
Why Battersea homeowners choose DPS for loft conversions
01 · PLANNING HANDLED
We handle the permission side in-house.
Planning drawings, building-regulations and party-wall paperwork are prepared and submitted by our own team —
including for conservation-area or listed properties where extra consent is needed. One point of contact owns
both the approvals and the build, so nothing falls between an architect and a separate contractor.
02 · ONE TEAM
Architects, builders, project managers — all in-house.
No subcontractor juggling. From the first sketch through structural engineering to final snagging, your project moves
through people who all sit in the same office and answer to the same project manager.
03 · TRANSPARENT PRICING
£60k–£140k typical — itemised and fixed.
You pay in stages, only after each stage is signed off. Variations only happen when scope genuinely changes — and
they go through written authorisation, never a verbal "while we are at it".
Loft conversions in Battersea — frequent questions
Do you do loft conversions in Battersea?
Yes — Battersea (SW11) is well within our Wandsworth working area. We typically deliver several loft conversions projects across this borough each year.
How long does a loft conversions project take in Battersea?
End-to-end (consultation → handover) usually 8–14 weeks. Build phase alone is shorter — most loft conversions sites complete in 8–18 weeks depending on scope and finishes.
What does loft conversions cost in Battersea?
Typical range: £60k–£140k typical. Our online calculator gives you a tighter figure based on your house type and ambitions; the fixed quote follows a free site visit.
Will I need planning permission in Battersea?
It depends on the property. Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, especially in Wandsworth. Where planning is needed (conservation areas, listed properties, larger schemes), we handle the application end-to-end.
Will my loft conversion need planning permission?
Many lofts fall under permitted development if you stay within volume limits. Conservation areas always need full planning. We handle either route.
How tall must my loft be to convert?
You need at least 2.2m of head height in the existing loft. We measure on the first visit and confirm what conversion fits.
Will the build be disruptive?
Most of the work happens upstairs, with rooflight access for materials. You stay in your home throughout.
