Loft Conversions in Kennington
Kennington in SE11 sits immediately south of the River Thames — close to Vauxhall, Oval, and Elephant and Castle. Its Georgian and Victorian architecture, proximity to central London, and improving amenity have driven strong renovation activity. rcbGroup delivers extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishments across SE11 and the adjoining SE17.
rcbGroup projectLoft Conversions in Kennington — what to expect
Loft conversions in Kennington's Georgian and Victorian stock can deliver strong floor area gains given the height of the buildings. Rear dormers are the standard approach. Conservation area controls affect front roof alterations on most SE11 streets — rear dormers are typically acceptable in most cases by established local precedent. We manage planning, structural, and Building Control as part of the full principal contractor service.
Kennington property types
Georgian and Victorian terraced houses, mansion blocks, period conversions, modern apartments. The property type affects which loft conversion approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.
