About Our Loft Conversion Builders

Our loft conversion builders are experienced, careful, and focused on quality. We will always treat your home or property with respect, protect the rooms and stairs, and keep the site tidy at the end of each day. 

You will have a clear plan of work, regular updates, and one main point of contact throughout the build. 

We work hard to meet all the current building regulations, use trusted materials, and follow safe working practices. From structural work to the final fit-out, we aim for a smooth process and a finish you can be proud of.

Types of loft conversions

There are multiple types of loft conversions you can opt for, and the best choice depends on your roof, space, and budget. 

A rooflight conversion is the easiest option, as it uses windows set into the roof with minimal structural change. A dormer adds a box-shaped extension to increase headroom and floor space. 

A hip-to-gable conversion extends a sloping side roof into a vertical wall, often used on semi-detached homes. A mansard changes the roof slope to create the most space, but it often needs planning permission.

Loft Conversion Services

Our contractors are an excellent choice if you need full loft conversion services, from the initial survey right up to the final finish. We cover the design and drawing stages, as well as the structural calculations, and offer support with planning permission and building regulations. Our team manages the build, including insulation, stairs, windows, and plastering, as well as the fit-out for flooring, joinery, and storage. We also arrange electrical and plumbing work, with testing and certification included.

Loft design and drawings

We start by measuring your home and talking through what you want from the new space. We then create clear drawings that show the layout, stairs, windows, and any storage. 

These drawings help you picture the finished loft and guide the builders. They can also be used for planning and building regulations, where needed.

Structural calculations

A loft conversion often needs new beams and changes to the roof structure. A structural engineer checks how loads will be carried safely and produces the required calculations. This covers items like steel beams, joists, and supports around stairs and openings. These calculations are used by building control and help your build run smoothly and safely.

Planning permission support

Some loft conversions can be done under permitted development, but others need planning permission. We help you understand what applies to your home and prepare the drawings and details needed for an application. We can also support you with updates, questions from the council, and any changes requested, so the process feels clearer and less stressful.

Building regulations approval

Building regulations approval checks that the loft is safe and suitable to live in. This includes structure, fire safety, insulation, stairs, ventilation, and sound protection. We prepare the information needed for building control and support you through the approval process. We also help respond to any comments, so you can move forward with confidence.

Loft conversion build and fit-out

Once approved, we manage the build from start to finish, following the agreed plans. This includes structural work, roof changes, insulation, plastering, and joinery. We then complete the fit-out, such as doors, skirting, storage, and finishes. We aim to keep disruption low and keep you updated, so you always know what is happening.

Electrical and plumbing work

If your loft needs plenty of power, lighting, heating, or a bathroom, we plan the services carefully. Our electricians install safe wiring, sockets, switches, lighting, and any required alarms. Then, we will connect your radiators, pipework, wastes, and bathroom fittings where needed. All our work is thoroughly tested and certified, and we coordinate trades so everything fits neatly and works well.

Is your loft suitable?

Not every loft is suitable for a conversion project, but many can be with the right design. Contractors will check the head height, roof shape, and where in your property the stairs can go. 

We also look at the strength of the existing structure, access for building work, and any limits like chimneys or water tanks. If you live in a flat or a listed building, the rules are usually much tighter. A quick survey can help to confirm what is possible.


Design ideas and layout options

We offer many loft conversion options to homeowners that will match your home and budget. A simple rooflight conversion adds light and usable space with minimal change. 

A dormer can create more headroom and larger rooms. A hip-to-gable suits some semi-detached homes by widening the roof space. A mansard gives the most space and a modern look, but often needs planning permission.

Layout choices tend to involve a main bedroom with en-suite, a home office, a guest room, or a playroom, with smart storage built in.

Get A Loft Conversion Quote

To get a loft conversion quote, start by contacting our team with your complete address and a short description of what you want, such as a bedroom, office, or en-suite. If you have plans, photos, or measurements, send them over, but do not worry if you do not. We will arrange a visit to check the loft space, access, roof shape, and any services like water tanks. 

After the survey is done, we will supply you with a clear quote showing the main stages of work and what is included. Timescales can vary by design, but many loft conversions we carry out take around 6 to 10 weeks working on site. Much larger builds, like big dormers or mansards, may take longer. We will explain the expected timeline before work starts.
