This page covers the southern part of the borough — Clerkenwell, Finsbury, Angel and St Luke's and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Georgian terraces, warehouse and loft conversions and former industrial buildings, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Islington Council.
Clerkenwell's conservation areas and its many warehouse conversions mean southern projects often involve shared structure, listed fabric and Islington Building Control sign-off on change-of-use works. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the southern Islington streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.

Direct answers to what homeowners in southern Islington ask about drawings, permission and fees.
It depends on your exact address. Many single-storey rear and side-return extensions on unlisted houses in South Islington fall under Permitted Development, but Clerkenwell's conservation areas and its many warehouse conversions mean southern projects often involve shared structure, listed fabric and Islington Building Control sign-off on change-of-use works. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas always need full planning, decided by Islington Council. Article 4 in the borough: Yes — check your address. We confirm exactly which route applies to your property, free, at the survey.
