What Is A Loft Conversion?

The process of transforming an empty loft space into functional rooms for storage or accommodation is known as a loft conversion. Loft conversions have gained much popularity in the UK because of all of their benefits. 

Why Do A Loft Conversion?

  • A loft conversion gets you more space without forcing you to move home. What you want comes to you. 
  • A loft conversion gives you that great feeling of living in a new home. With a loft conversion, your property’s value may increase considerably. A survey by the National Building Society indicates that the addition of an extra bedroom and bathroom will increase the value of a 3-bedroom house by up to 21%. 
  • A loft conversion will meet your needs. Turning your empty loft to a functional space like a gym, bathroom, bedroom, or office might be just what is missing from your home. 
  • A loft conversion pays for itself in the long-term. Should you decide to sell your home, the additional functionality will normally prove a worthwhile investment.

Dormer Loft Conversions

Dormer loft conversions are great for houses with small amounts of headroom in the loft. Dormer conversions are the most popular kind of loft conversion in the London area. Dormer loft conversion gives a sizable amount of head height and sufficient space for a full-sized bedroom and a bathroom or shower in most lofts. This loft conversion does not normally require a planning permit and takes up to 7 weeks for completion. A dormer is usually built out of the slope of the roof. That means the majority of the work is done using scaffolding from the outside.

Velux Loft Conversions

Velux window loft conversion is non-disruptive and requires little dismantling of the roof. Windows are added to the property and the roof is mainly untouched. This loft conversion does not normally require planning permits. 

A Velux loft conversion is ideal for a loft with a sizeable amount of headroom. You should also consider Velux conversions if your property is limited by planning constraints. 

L-Shaped Loft Conversions

An L-Shaped loft conversion is also popular among homeowners in London. This type of loft conversion generally has enough floor area to contain two full-sized bedrooms and a bathroom. Its backside is adjusted to be in a lower position so that there will be enough ceiling height. 

Mansard Loft Conversions

Mansard loft conversions are probably the most pleasant-looking  loft conversions. In Mansard lofts, one of two of the roof slopes is displaced with steep-sloping sides, and a level roof is constructed over it. Due to its structure requirements, it is costlier to build and requires planning permission. 

We are able to provide a fantastic service delivery for whatever design that would appeal to you when you choose a Mansard loft conversion. 

Modular Loft Conversions

Loft areas can get converted easily using modular loft conversion systems and there are a myriad of choices on what to do with the additional space. The conversion is built off-site to our standard specification and comes fully fitted with doors, electrics and windows. You will be the one to make the specification of what you’ll need to be attached to it. Thus, our onsite work and inconvenience to you is significantly reduced. 

Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversions

Hip-to-Gable conversion is ideal for utilizing an unoccupied space. This conversion provides enough space by extending the ridge to meet the external wall. 

Custom Loft Conversion

Would you like any of the listed loft conversion types for your home? We can help with that. We design complete customized loft conversions for clients. We’ll be there to help you in every step of the project — from the planning to the last part of the project. 

Our Loft Conversion Process 

Step 1: Survey

When you contact us, we’ll schedule a convenient day for a meeting with our loft conversion specialist in your home. This allows us to discuss with you in detail and to determine the type of loft conversion design you’ll need. 

The amount of time a survey takes depends on the size of the attic space. The larger the attic space, the more time it’ll likely take. On average, our visits take less than 45 minutes. 

Step 2: Quotation

The quotation comes in once an agreement has been reached on the loft conversion type you want. We can provide you with the quotation within 7 days by post, email or in person. 

Step 3: Architectural Plans

If you decide to work with us, we’ll request the initial instalment of 5% of the total conversion cost. This enables us to commence the preliminary activities and draft out a schedule for the project. 

Step 4: Execution

Execution starts the day we kick off the loft conversion. However, we will reach out to you a month before the mounting of the scaffolding and give you the confirmed start date. 

We have experienced trades for all plumbing, interior fittings, construction, exterior roofing work and electricity.
