Red Loft & Extension brings premium loft conversions and home extensions to the apartments and townhouses around Canary Wharf — same team, same standards, every time.
Built for the way Canary Wharf actually lives
Canary Wharf’s mix of modern apartments, converted warehouses and townhouses each come with their own quirks — tight access, shared freeholds, strict building management rules. Red Loft Extension has the experience to navigate all of it, from the first measure-up to the final sign-off.
Whether you’re after an extra bedroom, a home office with a view, or a full top-floor transformation, our team manages every stage in house: design, structural calculations, planning, and the build itself — so you deal with one team, not five different contractors.
Loft conversion styles suited to Canary Wharf
Every property is different — here’s what we most commonly build in this area.
Dormer Conversions
The most popular option, adding full headroom and floor space within the existing roofline.
Hip to Gable
Ideal for semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes, maximising usable width.
L-Shaped Conversions
For larger properties wanting two new rooms, or a bedroom and en-suite combined.
Velux & Rooflight
A cost effective option that typically doesn’t require planning permission.
Natural light, done properly
From bank of Velux rooflights to full opening aluminium glazing, we fit windows that are built to perform — and to look right on the finished build.
- Triple-glazed Velux skylights fitted as standard
- Full opening aluminium and uPVC frames
- Matched finishes to suit period or modern facades
Real builds, real craftsmanship
Every project is overseen by a dedicated project manager from the first day of scaffolding to the final handover — so you always know exactly what stage your build is at, and who to call if you have a question.
Loft conversions in Canary Wharf
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development and don’t need full planning permission. However, some buildings around Canary Wharf are managed by freeholders with their own approval process — we’ll check this for you as part of your free consultation.
Most loft conversions take between 8 and 12 weeks from start to finish, depending on the scope of work and any structural changes required.
Yes. We regularly liaise with building management, freeholders and neighbours to make sure every project runs smoothly and within any building-specific requirements.
A member of our team visits your property, discusses your goals and gives you an honest, no obligation view of what’s possible and what it’s likely to cost.
