Building, renovating and extending in Ealing
Ealing has one of the strongest concentrations of large Edwardian family housing in London. Wide semis and detached houses with original hipped roofs, deep plots and side access run through central Ealing, Pitshanger and Hanwell, and they are close to ideal candidates for both loft conversions and substantial rear extensions.
The borough also stretches a long way west. Southall, Greenford and Northolt bring interwar and post-war stock with different economics, where full renovation, refurbishment for letting and straightforward extension work make up most of the demand.
The housing stock in Ealing
Large Edwardian semi-detached and detached houses across Ealing, Pitshanger, Hanwell and parts of Acton. Victorian terraces through Acton and West Ealing. Interwar and post-war suburban housing across Greenford, Northolt, Perivale and Southall, with significant newer apartment development around Acton, Ealing Broadway and Southall following the Elizabeth line.
Conservation coverage in the centre
Ealing has a substantial number of conservation areas, particularly across central Ealing, Pitshanger Lane, Hanwell, Bedford Park on the Chiswick border and parts of Acton — several with Article 4 directions restricting permitted development including roof alterations and front elevation changes. Bedford Park in particular is one of the most significant Victorian garden suburbs in the country and is controlled accordingly. Further west, permitted development is generally more available.
Planning note. Designations change, and two neighbouring streets can sit under entirely different rules. We confirm the conservation area status, any Article 4 direction and the relevant local policy for your specific address at survey stage — before any design work is paid for.

Local FAQs
Building in Ealing — common questions
Frequently yes, and on these roofs it produces a lot of usable space. The constraint is conservation area status — large parts of central Ealing are designated, and Article 4 directions in some remove the permitted development right entirely.
Very little externally without consent. Bedford Park is a conservation area of exceptional significance with detailed controls covering windows, roofs, materials and boundary treatments. Internal renovation and sympathetic rear work is achievable; visible alterations need a careful, design-led application.
Yes, across the whole borough. Work there tends more towards renovation, extensions and refurbishment for landlords, reflecting the different housing stock and market.
