This page covers the northern part of the borough — Highbury, Finsbury Park fringe, Tufnell Park and Archway borders and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Victorian terraces and the grand houses around Highbury Fields, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Islington Council.
The Highbury Fields and Highbury New Park conservation areas govern much of the north, so period-matching detailing and full planning are the norm for extensions and loft conversions here. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the northern Islington streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.

It depends on your exact address.

Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas always need full planning, decided by Islington Council. Article 4 in the borough: Yes — check your address.
