The service
Loft conversions across East London
Adding a loft conversion is one of the most effective ways to increase both the living space and the value of your East London home. Chenko Builders carries out Velux, dormer and hip-to-gable conversions for homeowners in Hackney, Walthamstow, Stratford, Ilford, Romford, Canary Wharf, Greenwich and Poplar. Whether you want a quiet study, a guest bedroom, an en-suite master or a children's playroom, we design the space around how you actually live. Being based in East London means we know which roof types are common in Victorian and Edwardian terraces across the area and how to work efficiently within building regulations. Every loft conversion starts with a free site survey where we assess your existing roof structure, advise on the best conversion type and produce a fully itemised written quote covering every trade from structural steels to final decoration.

Common questions
Frequently asked
We carry out Velux, dormer and hip-to-gable loft conversions across East London. The right type depends on your roof structure and what you want to use the space for — we advise during the free survey.
Most loft conversions are covered under permitted development and do not need full planning permission, though we submit a building regulations application for all loft work.
A loft conversion typically adds between 15 and 25 percent to a property value in London, making it one of the best return on investment home improvements available.
