Loft Conversion Builders London
Create new living space with a loft conversion
What is a loft conversion?
A loft conversion transforms an underused attic into a functional living area. This could be a new bedroom, bathroom, study, or even a self-contained studio. Especially in London, where space is limited and property prices are high, converting your loft is a smart way to expand your living space without moving.
Is my loft suitable for a conversion?
Most London homes are suitable for a loft conversion, though factors like ceiling height, roof structure, and access will influence what’s possible. Ideally, your loft should have sufficient head height for comfortable use. Many properties fall under permitted development rights, so planning permission may not be required. Our team assesses each property individually and handles all necessary approvals, ensuring your project moves forward smoothly.
Main types of loft conversions
There are several types of loft conversions, and the right one depends on your home’s structure, style, and your personal requirements. Learn more in our in-depth guide to the different types of loft conversions.
Dormer
A Dormer conversion involves extending the existing roof vertically, creating more usable floor space and headroom. It is one of the most common types in London, offering excellent flexibility and natural light, often used to add bedrooms or bathrooms.
Hip to gable
This option is perfect for semi-detached or end-of-terrace homes with sloping roofs. It replaces the sloped side with a vertical wall, significantly increasing internal space and allowing for a more functional layout.
Modular
Modular conversions are built off-site and craned into position. This modern method offers faster installation with minimal on-site disruption, ideal for complex builds or tight schedules.
Velux
How much does a loft conversion cost in London: estimates
The cost of a loft conversion in London varies widely depending on the type, size, and complexity of the project, as well as the materials and finishes chosen. While Velux conversions tend to be the most affordable, options like dormer, hip to gable, and modular conversions typically require a higher investment due to their larger scale and structural work involved. We provide detailed and transparent quotes tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
How long does it take to complete a loft conversion?
Timelines depend on the type of conversion. A Velux conversion generally takes a few weeks. Dormer and hip to gable conversions typically require a longer build time, often several weeks to a couple of months. Modular conversions are faster on-site due to off-site fabrication but still involve planning and preparation phases. From initial design through to completion, we manage every stage to ensure your loft conversion is delivered efficiently and on schedule.
