Your Loft Conversion
With thoughtful design and transparent guidance, we turn unused loft space into a bright, practical room that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Unlock Space and Value.
A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective and rewarding ways to expand your home. Add a new bedroom, office, or even a private master suite without altering your garden or moving house.
Why Choose a Loft Conversion?
Converting your loft is one of the smartest home improvements you can make. Space in London is limited and property values are high. It allows you to expand upwards, creating a fully functional room within your existing footprint.
A simple and efficient way to unlock the hidden potential already within your home.
Types of Loft Conversions
-
![]()
Mansard Loft Conversion
A Mansard conversion dramatically transforms your roof, replacing one side with a steep slope and a flat top. This style is often found on period or terraced homes in London and maximises internal space with generous headroom and natural light.
Mansards typically require planning permission, but the result is a highly aesthetic, near-full additional floor that blends beautifully with traditional architecture. -

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion
A Hip-to-Gable conversion is ideal for detached or semi-detached houses with a hipped (sloping) roof. It involves extending the sloping side wall vertically to form a gable end, creating a larger, more usable internal area.
This type can be combined with a rear dormer for even more space and is popular with homeowners looking to add a master suite or multiple bedrooms. -

Dormer Loft Conversion
The Dormer is the most common and versatile type of loft conversion. It extends vertically from the existing roof slope, creating a box-shaped addition that adds full headroom and floor space. They can often be built under Permitted Development Rights, making approval straightforward.
Dormers are perfect for terraced and semi-detached homes, allowing space for an ensuite, study, or extra bedroom. -

Velux (Rooflight) Loft Conversion
A Velux (rooflight) conversion is the simplest and most cost-effective option. Instead of altering the roof shape, we install roof windows directly into the existing slope, bringing in abundant natural light.
There’s no need for major structural changes or planning permission in most cases, making it ideal for lofts that already have enough headroom and for homes in conservation areas. -

L-Shaped Loft Conversion
Common on Victorian and Edwardian terraces with rear outrigger extensions, L-shaped conversions maximise usable floor area and are perfectly suited for creating large bedrooms, bathrooms or dual-use spaces.
Planning Permission & Regulations
Many loft conversions fall under Permitted Development, but some such as mansard conversions or dormers facing public roads require formal planning permission.

FAQ’s
-
A loft conversion can often be done under permitted development rights, meaning no full planning permission is needed, if it stays within strict limits: 40 cubic metres (m³) for terraced homes or 50m³ for others, doesn't exceed the roof's highest point, uses similar materials to what’s already there, avoids balconies, and meets side window (obscure glazing, 1.7m high) rules.
Crucially, these rights don't apply in designated areas (like conservation areas) or if prior conditions removed them!
We can help you understand your unique situation so you can make the best decisions around your planning application.
-
A loft conversion typically takes 6 to 12 weeks for the build, but the entire process from design to completion can span 3 to 5 months, depending on complexity, type (e.g., simpler rooflights vs. complex mansard) and planning approvals where needed.
-
A loft conversion can add significant value to your home, anywhere between 10-20% on average!
-
Not all lofts are suitable for conversion, but most can be adapted, depending on key factors like head height (ideally over 2.4m for comfort), roof pitch (steeper is better), existing structural support, and potential planning restrictions (conservation areas, listed buildings).
