Loft Conversions for Harrow’s 1930s Semis

Much of Harrow was built in the 1920s and 1930s, as the railway brought new suburbs to areas such as North Harrow, Rayners Lane, Pinner, Kenton and Stanmore. Many of these semi-detached and detached houses have hipped roofs, which limit the usable space in the loft.

A hip-to-gable conversion with a rear dormer is the classic way to open these lofts up, creating room for a large bedroom with an ensuite. For older Victorian and Edwardian houses around Harrow on the Hill and Wealdstone, a rear dormer or L-shaped conversion often works well.

Planning & building regulations

Planning a Loft Conversion with Harrow Council

Many loft conversions on Harrow’s suburban streets can go ahead as permitted development. In conservation areas, such as Harrow on the Hill and parts of Pinner, dormers and roof extensions are not covered by permitted development and need planning permission, with a design that suits the character of the area.

We check the rules for your address and make any application to Harrow Council on your behalf. Where permitted development applies, a Lawful Development Certificate can confirm it for peace of mind when you sell.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our loft conversion completed by Unique lofts Ltd. We couldn’t be happier with the experience we had from start to finish.
From day one, Ben and his team set the tone; punctual, professional, and genuinely respectful to our home. The site was kept clean and tidy throughout, which made a huge difference to daily life, during the conversion. They were organised, communicated well, and delivered the project on time in just six weeks.
The quality of work was always of a high standard. The care and professionalism of the team really stood out during and after the conversion. We could see that they took real pride in their work.
We would highly recommend Unique lofts and the team to anyone considering a loft conversion.

Mark handled all the paper processes and Ben (together with Martin)  was the onsite manager organising all the deliveries and timings of other contractors. They were a pleasure to have working on site. Tidying each evening and very careful as were the tradesmen on the team. All in all a credit to the industry.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Mark and Unique Lofts for an L-shaped dormer. The team were facilitative of a two-stage planning process to maximise the amount of space we could add. The team were great on-site, and build quality was high. They suggested alternative approaches to e.g. skylights and windows to save money. We'd use UL again for future extensions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a loft conversion with Unique Lofts and I would highly recommend. Very professional and courteous team, communication was great, on time and work completed on schedule even with additional work being carried out. We’re very happy with the end result, rooms more spacious than we expected (head height in particular) and all completed to a very high standard. The project did come in above our budget, but this is due to additional work we requested and some unforeseen work, all of which was explained fully by the team and options were provided before agreeing on the best way forward. Overall we’re very satisfied and I would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a very positive experience with Mark and the Unique Lofts team for our loft conversion. I would highly recommend them.

Michael and Brad (our team) were friendly, dedicated and hardworking. Our neighbours, who had the skip chute cross their garden, also shared how considerate and friendly they were.

Michael kept me in the loop, followed up on my enquiries and gave some really helpful advice in moving airing cupboards and opening up the loft space for more natural light.

All in all, highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Unique Lofts and was lucky to find them after another firm let us down. Our team were Ben, Martin and Connor who have been considerate, incredibly skilled and hard working. Even our neighbours commented on what nice guys they were. Ben was our main contact and kept me updated, followed up on my enquiries and turned up when they said they would. Every trades person Unique used turned up on time, cleaned up after themselves, were professional and very good at their jobs. Unique invoiced exactly as quoted and were a pleasure to work with. Thank you Unique Lofts!

They finished in the time quoted and kept us informed with updates daily and we could always get hold of them on WhatsApp too. They were courteous, respectful and did a great job. Mark was always available too and happy to answer our question. The work was completed on time, to a high standard and within the quote given to us. We are really pleased with our new loft and would highly recommend Unique Lofts.
