Types of Loft Conversions We Specialize In

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions extend your roof outward, adding valuable headroom and natural light. Ideal for Victorian, Edwardian, terraced, and semi-detached homes, they create practical living spaces such as bedrooms or en-suites, often requiring planning permission and building regulation compliance.
We Offer Complete dormer Loft Conversion Services including:

  • Full design and planning for rear dormer and L-shaped dormer extensions
  • Installation of timber frame dormers and box dormer constructions
  • Building and fitting dormer staircases to connect the loft with the main floors
  • Integration of dormer loft en-suite bathrooms or additional living spaces
  • Assistance with planning permission applications and building control approvals
  • Compliance with party wall agreements for adjoining properties

Attic Loft Conversion

Attic loft conversions transform unused roof voids into functional living areas by adapting sloping ceilings, improving ventilation, and upgrading insulation. Ideal for homes with sufficient internal loft height, they enhance usability without altering the existing roofline and may require planning permission or structural reinforcement in some cases.
We Offer Complete attic loft conversions Services including:

  • Complete roof void conversion with sloping ceiling adaptation
  • Installation of attic insulation, ventilation systems, and lighting
  • Loft boarding and flooring for storage and usability
  • Fitting of attic access ladders for safe, convenient entry

  • Assistance with planning permission and building regulation compliance

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions use rooflight windows to bring natural daylight into unused attic spaces without altering the roof structure. Ideal for bungalows, detached homes, and properties in conservation areas, they offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to improve roof ventilation and create bright, livable loft areas.
We Offer Complete Velux Loft Conversion Services including:

  • Professional Velux window fitting into existing roof slopes
  • Skylight installation with roof window flashing kits and insulation upgrades
  • Enhanced roof ventilation and natural daylight using Velux roof windows
  • Installation of Velux blinds for sunlight control and privacy
  • Solutions for conservation area compliance and discreet rooflight design
  • Support with planning permission (when required) and building regulation approval

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions involve constructing a full-width roof extension with steeply sloping walls and a flat roof, maximising internal headroom and floor space. Commonly used in urban terraces and period properties, they require structural steelwork and full planning permission to meet building regulations.
We Offer Complete mansard Loft Conversion Services including:

  • Complete mansard roof extension with sloping wall and flat roof design
  • Development of detailed mansard roof design plans including pitch and dormer placement
  • Installation of mansard roof dormers, insulation, and flat roof sections
  • Structural support using mansard-specific steelwork systems
  • Assistance with planning permission applications and building regulation compliance
  • Support with party wall agreements for adjoining properties

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion

Hip-to-gable loft conversions extend the sloping side (hip) of a roof into a vertical gable wall, altering the roof profile to increase internal loft headroom. Commonly used for semi-detached and end-terrace homes, these conversions require structural reinforcement and planning permission to comply with current building regulations.
We Offer Complete hip-to-gable Loft Conversion Services including:

  • Full hip-to-gable roof extension with structural gable wall construction
  • Roof profile alteration to maximise usable loft space
  • Design and adjustment of the loft floor plan to suit the new layout
  • Installation of structural wall reinforcement for long-term support
  • Support with planning permission and building regulation compliance
  • Handling of party wall agreements where applicable

Additional Loft Conversion Services

In addition to structural extensions, we offer a full range of internal loft conversion services to enhance comfort, safety, and functionality. From insulation and heating to lighting and fire safety compliance, these elements ensure your loft is fully livable, efficient, and meets building standards.
Our Complete additional loft conversions Services Include:

  • Loft staircase installation for safe and practical access to the converted space
  • Loft insulation, heating, and electrics to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and safety
  • Loft boarding and flooring for secure storage and durable walkable surfaces
