Why consider converting your loft

A newly converted attic room with sloped ceiling, two large skylights, a wooden railing, and unfinished flooring.

A loft conversion is often one of the simplest ways to gain valuable square footage without the disruption, expense, and admin of moving house. Our clients' needs vary from seeking a more spacious bedroom, home office or stylish playroom for a growing family.

Increased living space

Loft conversions provide you with an expansion of your property upwards, not outwards, making better and more efficient use of your home.

Increasing the size of your property as a result of adding a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom can add a substantial gain to the value of your property.

Enhanced property value

Depending on your location and property type, a well-designed loft is often considered a cost-effective and future-proof option to optimise both space and value.

Loft spaces provide a sense of privacy, natural light, and simplicity. For others, a practical and usable studio or stylish en-suite guest room.

What Loft Conversion is right for your home

Each home is uniquely different in its way, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all all approach to your attic conversion type.

We work closely with our clients to provide a recommendation that considers your budget, property style, roof height, available space and localised planning regulation to achieve the best suited outcome for your needs.

A roof under construction with a newly installed skylight window, alongside old tiled roofing, under a clear blue sky.

This is the simplest and most cost-effective type of loft conversion. It involves fitting skylight windows into the existing roof line without altering the shape or structure of the roof. Ideal when you already have decent headroom.

Velux / Skylight Conversion

Best For:

  • Homes with existing loft space and good head height

  • Detached and semi-detached homes

  • Budget-conscious homeowners seeking a fast, low-disruption upgrade

Empty attic room with two skylights, white walls, recessed lighting, and a beige carpeted floor.

A box-like structure is added to the rear slope of the roof, extending vertically to create more usable floor area and headroom. It offers great flexibility for layout and is typically within permitted development rights.

Rear Dormer Conversion

Best For:

  • Properties with limited headroom

  • Semi-detached, terraced houses, or bungalows

  • Homes requiring a straightforward, cost-effective expansion

Hip-to-Gable Conversion

This conversion extends the sloping “hip” roof at the side of the property into a vertical wall, creating additional internal space. It’s often combined with a rear dormer for maximum effect.

Best For:

  • End-of-terrace or semi-detached properties with a hipped roof

  • Homeowners needing more than one additional room

  • Those looking to increase resale value with significant extra space

Hip Roof Dormer Conversion

A hip roof conversion transforms your loft by extending one or more sloping sides with a dormer, creating valuable head height and light.

Best For:

  • Semi-detached or detached properties with hipped roofs

  • Homes with limited headroom or loft space as-is

  • Homeowners seeking a seamless extension that enhances kerb appeal
