House Extensions, Loft and Basement Conversions
Most of our work falls into three categories, each with its own structural and planning demands. Across Hammersmith and Fulham — a borough with 44 conservation areas — the housing stock is largely Victorian and Edwardian, so this work is rarely as simple as it looks from the street.

Rear and side-return extensions are the most common way to add ground-floor space to a period terrace, frequently to create an open-plan kitchen-diner. The work usually means removing a structural wall and installing an RSJ, and it almost always triggers a party wall agreement with the neighbours. We handle the structural calculations, building control sign-off and glazing — and we match new brickwork and cornicing to the existing property, so the extension reads as part of the house rather than an addition.

A dormer or mansard loft conversion adds a bedroom or home office without touching the footprint. In a conservation area, roofline changes often need planning permission even where permitted development would otherwise apply, and an Article 4 direction can remove those rights entirely. On a listed building, the work requires listed building consent before it begins. We manage the fire-safety provision, insulation and natural light so the room is genuinely usable year-round.

Digging out a basement is the most technically demanding work we do — underpinning, structural engineering and Delta membrane tanking to keep the space dry. It is also the most tightly regulated, with a Construction Management Plan required in most boroughs. Where extending out or up isn’t an option, it is often the only route to significant extra space.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about renovations, extensions, and conversions in London — answered.
Not always. A single-storey rear extension up to 3 metres (terraced or semi-detached) or 4 metres (detached) can fall under permitted development. But if your property is in a conservation area or carries an Article 4 direction — common across Fulham, Hammersmith, Chelsea and Kensington — those rights are often removed, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your exact position before any design work.
Most loft conversions take around 8 to 12 weeks on site, depending on type — a straightforward dormer is quicker than an L-shaped or mansard conversion. Allow several months in total from first enquiry, as design, structural calculations, any planning application, and party wall agreements all happen before work begins. We set out a realistic programme at the quotation stage.
Yes. Much of our work is on period properties in conservation areas across West and Central London, where we handle listed building consent, planning permission, and party wall matters as part of the project. We match new brickwork, cornicing and joinery to the existing property so alterations respect its character — which is what planning officers and conservation areas require.
Yes. Dominant Construction is a registered member of the Federation of Master Builders and has been building across London since 2014. We carry full public liability insurance and run every project on a JCT contract, which protects both sides with clear terms, agreed costs, and defined stages. We can provide our credentials and insurance details on request.
Our own tradesmen carry out the work — we do not sub-contract the build to outside teams. This means consistent quality, direct accountability, and one point of contact throughout your project. You deal with the people actually doing the work, and we keep you updated with fortnightly progress reports from site.
We work across West and South-West London, including Fulham, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Kensington, Belgravia, Earls Court, Putney, Battersea, Richmond and Twickenham. Our office is at 185 Fulham Palace Road, W6 8QX. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call 020 7118 6155 and we will tell you straight away.
