    Types of conversion

    The right conversion for your home.

    Every roof is different. We design and build the conversion that gets the most from your space, and we'll recommend the best option when we visit.

    Dormer loft conversion

    Dormer

    Extends out from the roof to create extra headroom and floor space, ideal for adding full bedrooms and bathrooms.

    Velux loft conversion

    Velux

    Roof-light conversions that keep your roofline as it is, flooding the new room with natural light. Often no planning needed.

    Bungalow loft conversion

    Bungalow

    Transform a bungalow into a spacious home, adding bedrooms, en-suites and a galleried landing upstairs.

    Bespoke loft conversion

    Bespoke

    Hip-to-gable, Mansard, Cabrio balconies and more. Whatever your home allows, we design it around you.

    Loft conversion costs

    Roof light · from£20,000

    Keeps your existing roofline. The most cost-effective way to convert.

    Adds the most headroom and floor space. Our most popular choice.

    Hip-to-Gable

    Typical range£45–65k

    Bungalow

    Often far smarter than moving

    A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add usable space. Industry research (such as Nationwide's) suggests a well-built loft conversion can add up to around 20% to a property's value, while you stay in the home and area you love.

    Convert or move?

    The cost of moving might surprise you.

    Before you pay to move for more space, see what it actually costs in fees alone. Adjust the figures to match your situation.

    We'll work out Stamp Duty, agent, legal and removal fees for you. Change any figure to see how it adds up.

    Estate agent fee£—
    Legal & conveyancing£2,000
    Removals£1,200
    Total just to move£—
    That's roughly £— in fees before you've added a single extra room. A loft conversion adds the space you need and keeps you in the home you love.

    Planning & building regs

    Planning and building regulations, handled for you.

    It's one of the biggest worries homeowners have, and one of the best reasons to use a specialist. We manage the drawings, planning applications where required, and building regulations approval as part of our fully managed service. You don't lift a finger.

    Often no permission needed

    Most loft conversions don't require planning permission. Since 2008 they usually fall under Permitted Development rights.

    Planning, if it's needed

    On the rare occasion planning is required, we prepare and submit the application and deal with the local authority on your behalf.

    Building Regulations met

    Every conversion must meet Building Regs for structure, fire safety and escape routes. We manage approval and final sign-off.

    Drawings & design included

    We produce the architectural drawings and design as part of the service, so it's all handled under one roof.

    Sound familiar?

    Running out of space, but you love where you live.

    Moving home is expensive and disruptive. A loft conversion adds the room you need, and value to your home, without the upheaval of moving. Most homeowners come to us because of one of these.

    A growing family

    You need an extra bedroom, but there's no more room to build out, and the loft is just sitting there empty.

    Working from home

    You want a proper, quiet home office or studio, away from the busy parts of the house.

    The cost of moving

    Estate agent fees, stamp duty and removals add up fast. Converting often makes far more sense than moving.

    A master suite

    You'd love a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, the kind of room you actually relax in.

    Adding value

    A well-built loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add usable space, and value, to your home.

    Worried about the hassle

    Planning, building regulations, builders coming and going. You want one trusted team to handle all of it.

    Your free home visit

    More than a quote. A proper plan for your loft.

    Step 01

    Feasibility check

    Step 02

    Bespoke design ideas

    We talk through layouts, staircases, dormers and Velux options, and how to make the new space suit your lifestyle.

    Step 03

    Planning & regs guidance

    Most lofts fall under Permitted Development. If planning is needed, we explain it, and we handle the application on your behalf.

    Step 04

      What to expect

      A loft conversion, without the upheaval.

      Most loft conversions take around 6 to 10 weeks on site, depending on the size and type. Here's how the build unfolds, and in most cases you can carry on living in your home throughout.

      Before we start

      Design & approvals

      2
      Week 1–2

      Scaffold & structure

      Scaffolding goes up and we begin the structural work, opening the roof and forming the dormer or new structure while keeping your home secure and weather-tight.

      3
      Week 2–4

      Floor, walls & windows

      New floor joists and steels go in, the dormer is built and weatherproofed, and windows and insulation are fitted, so the space takes shape quickly.

      4
      Week 4–6

      Staircase & first fix

      Your new staircase is fitted and the electrics, plumbing and heating are run in, ready for plastering.

      5
      Week 6–8

      Plastering & finishing
