Below are our key strengths –
1. Tailored Extension Designs for Every Home
We personalise extensions with an understanding that no two homes or families are alike.

We lend our focus on –
- Maximising natural light and open space.

Sailing through planning permission in the UK, especially in a city like London can be a huge challenge. But do not worry, we have you covered on this too. We leverage our in-house planning consultants and architecture experts who are experienced in handling complex planning applications thus eliminating the complexity out of the process.

How EA’s Expertise Transforms Homes with Loft and Extension Projects
1. Optimising Space
Every inch count, especially in densely populated areas or older properties with limited layout flexibility. With a sharp eye for spatial design, they reconfigure homes to improve natural light, flow, and function.
Whether it’s a side return extension or a dormer loft conversion, we craft spaces that feel open, modern, and tailored to the present-day family’s needs.
2. Planning Knowledge and Compliance
One of the biggest hurdles in any home renovation project is navigating local planning regulations. Being specialists, we bring in-depth familiarity with UK planning laws, such as planning permission, and building regulations.
By this, we provide you with accurate feasibility studies, comprehensive planning applications, experience & expertise in liaising with local authorities along with guidance on compliance in conservation and listed areas.
Our intervention and expertise reduce risk and increases the chances of approval, especially for complex or ambitious designs.
3. Design-first Approach:
With our design-first approach, we begin with an in-depth consultation to understand the client’s lifestyle, vision, and long-term goals. We then develop bespoke architectural solutions that enhance both function and form. Below are key features of our design approach –
- Airy and light-filled interiors through clever use of glazing and open-plan layouts, whether extensions or loft conversions.
- Seamless transitions between existing structures and new additions.
- Considering sustainability, energy efficiency, and modern living trends.

- Building regulation approval and inspections.
Beyond the structure, it is about how the space feels for you. Our designers help you create a loft that reflects your taste and lifestyle. From flooring and lighting to tiling and customised joinery, we ensure the final result is as per your imagination.
