Our Loft Conversion Services in Epping Forest
Dormer Loft Conversion
These add a flat-roofed box that sticks out from your roof slope. They're very popular in Epping Forest because they create lots of usable floor space.
Hip-to-Gable Conversions
If your house has a sloped roof on the side (a hip roof), we can change this to a straight wall (a gable), giving you much more loft space.
Mansard Loft Conversions
This stylish option changes both sides of your roof to make them almost straight up and down (at about 72 degrees). This gives you the most head height and space inside.
Velux/Roof Light Conversions
A cheaper option where we keep your roof as it is but add windows to let in sunlight. This works well for many homes.
Custom Design Services
Our designers will work with you to create plans that fit what you need and match your home's style.
Special Conversions for Older Homes
If your home is old or in a protected area of Epping Forest, we know how to make changes that respect its history and special features. We make each loft just right for your needs, your budget, and your type of house. We can also add bathrooms, clever storage, and eco-friendly heating to your new loft.
Why Loft Conversions Make Sense in Epping Forest
Homes in Epping Forest are often perfect for loft conversions. Many houses in the area have good-sized attics that are just waiting to be turned into useful spaces. With house prices in the area being quite high, adding a loft conversion can be much cheaper than moving to a bigger home.
The forest setting also means that many lofts can have wonderful views. Imagine waking up to the sight of trees and greenery from your new loft bedroom! We can plan your windows to make the most of these views while keeping your privacy.
