OPEN UP
YOUR HOME WITH A LOFT CONVERSION
Converting your loft will open up a whole new liveable space in your home that you—and future buyers—will love.
Converting your loft is often the easiest way to expand your living space without attaining planning permissions.
In most cases, you won’t need any planning permissions to convert your loft because it’s within your permitted development rights as the homeowner. This means it is usually the simplest, and easiest way to gain additional liveable space in your home without the hassle of formal planning permissions.
By converting your loft, you can enjoy more of your home now—and add significant value to your home for selling or renting in the future. You’re literally adding another room, or in many cases, an entire floor!
Having a habitable loft space—whether it is a small area of your loft, or an entire floor with separate rooms—will allow you to reach a wider range of buyers and renters.
Having a loft is sometimes a must for families, especially in London, where ground space is a precious and expensive commodity.
We can convert your existing loft space while at the same time considering how this design will complement the rest of your house downstairs. By converting your loft this way, you can transform your entire home.
We’re proud to have established a solid reputation for delivering a wide range of high-quality loft conversions on time and within budget across London. We have never missed a deadline in over 30 years.
How much is a loft conversion in London?
Loft conversion and expansion projects can vary in cost depending on the size and location of your home as well as the complexity of the project.
When day-to-day project management, contracts, and insurances are taken into consideration on top of construction costs, the typical cost of a loft conversion can start around £45,000.
We provide all of our customers with a fixed quote at the start of their loft conversion project—and guarantee that there will be no hidden costs that crop up along the way. It’s all part of our tried-and-tested process. You can learn more about how we work here.
What happens during a loft conversion?
When we take on a loft conversion project, we take on a lot more than the actual physical conversion and construction of the space.
We follow our time-tested process closely to make sure your loft renovation project runs smoothly and remains in line with the fixed quote you got at the start of the project.
Our safe build process
-
Our loft conversion projects remain within the fixed budget you get at the start of the project.
QUOTES:
Although it’s dependent on the complexity of the loft conversion, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to attain formal planning permissions if you’re simply converting the space.After you’ve checked that this is taken care of and structural drawings are confirmed, we’ll conduct a home visit and draw up an estimated quote.
Once approved, we’ll move to tender, where you’ll receive a single, fixed fee for your loft conversion and an accurate breakdown of costs for the entirety of the project.
PAYMENT:
We don’t require payment upfront for your loft conversion. You can take care of any final payments up to 6 months after the project is completed.TIMELINES:

In fact, we haven’t missed a deadline in 30 years.This is because we have all of the skills needed to deliver your loft conversion project in-house.

When it’s time to start converting your loft, you can be confident that we will deliver a high-quality loft space—and work safely on the job.
PAPERWORK:
We’ll always take care of the legal and health and safety requirements of your loft conversion project—such as validating insurances and contracts—before we get to work. This way, you know that when we start converting your loft, it will be a smooth and streamlined process until completion—without any nasty surprises along the way.TEAM SAFETY:
When it’s time to start the loft conversion, physical safety is paramount. Our team adheres to strict health and safety protocols, guided by trained experts across first aid, fire safety, and asbestos awareness.What’s more, there have been zero accidents on any of our project sites for over 6 years.
BUILD SAFETY:
Having such rigorous health and safety protocols in place means you get a loft conversion that’s structurally safe—for the long term. And getting it right from the outset means you're unlikely to face any of the common problems associated with new loft conversions in the future.We’ve all heard about the common structural problems associated with new loft conversions. One of the most common issues we’ve come across when rectifying ‘cowboy’ conversions is badly fitted, insufficient, or incorrect loft insulation. This issue, as well as improperly sealed windows and skylights, can drastically impact your energy bills. These common defects can also reduce the safety and security of your home.
We avoid these issues by completing all of our loft conversion projects to the highest standard. We also pride ourselves on learning exactly what our customers want to get out of their new, expanded loft space. This way, we can deliver them a loft conversion that answers their unique needs—without cutting any corners to get there.

We take pride in designing and constructing high-quality loft spaces that are made to be lived in and loved. And our confidence in the quality of our work is backed up by competitive guarantees.
SETTLING:
With any new building or renovation project, including loft conversions, there’s always a ‘settling in’ period in which the lumber used to build the space loses its moisture and shrinks over time. This can cause walls to crack—and it’s completely normal as the structure settles into its foundations. This settlement period can last anywhere between 6 months to 3 years.To cover this period—and prove the confidence we have in the longevity and quality of our loft conversions—we offer very competitive guarantees.
Our 10-year structural guarantee covers any cracks or movement connected to the loft conversion during the ‘settling in’ period. We also provide a 2-year cosmetic guarantee for any aesthetic touch-ups such as plastering and painting caused by settling.
