A loft conversion adds a bedroom and usually a bathroom without touching the garden or the footprint of the house. On a terrace or semi with a decent roof height it is often the best value space in the house.

We handle the structure, the dormer, the stairs, the rooflights, the insulation and the finish. The stair position is the thing that makes or breaks a loft, so it is the first thing we draw.

Loft conversions: questions people ask

Is my loft suitable for conversion?

The main test is head height: around 2.2 metres from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge is comfortable. Trussed roofs from the 1970s onwards can still be converted with new steels. We will measure and tell you honestly.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

A rear dormer within permitted development limits usually does not need it. Front dormers, conservation areas and flats do. Every loft needs building regulations approval, which we handle.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Four to eight weeks on site for a dormer conversion. The house stays liveable throughout, with most of the work accessed from scaffolding outside until the stair goes in.
