Our Loft Conversion Process

When we begin your loft conversions, our first step is always a full consultation, followed by an in-depth design and planning service. By getting your input at this crucial stage, we can focus on building a conversion that matches your needs, wants, and budget.

As part of the conversion process, we can also include the following services:

  • Structural Survey

  • Structural Calculations

  • Levelling

  • Brickwork

  • Adding Windows

  • Insulation and Ventilation

  • Electrical Work

  • Plumbing and Heating Work

  • Wall Knock-Throughs

Some of these tasks, such as structural surveys and calculations, help us ensure that the project can be safely completed to your required specifications. If we encounter issues at any point, we’ll communicate the problem, along with any potential solutions.

Types of Loft Conversions

If you’re interested in an attic conversion, you likely want to use the space as an additional bedroom, playroom, office, or similar. This usually involves adjusting the roof of your property to create more height and make it fit for purpose. Several popular types of conversions our building company can create are:

Hip-to-Gable Conversions

Created by replacing one of your roof’s sloped edges with a vertical one, a hip-to-gable conversion adds headroom to your loft, turning it into a more habitable space.

Dormer Conversions

With a dormer conversion, we add a vertical wall and flat roof to a section of your loft. This helps to convert the angular space into a more traditional one, creating a much more spacious loft.

Mansard Conversions

Like the dormer, a mansard conversion also creates significant space in your loft. To encourage rain to run into the gutters, the face is sloped at 72 degrees.

Our building company can complete various conversion styles, and we’ll happily work on all roofs, whether pitched or flat.
