What is a Loft Conversion?

A loft conversion transforms an unused attic space into functional living areas, such as bedrooms, home offices, or recreational rooms. This not only enhances your living experience but also significantly boosts your property’s value. In fact, a well-executed loft conversion can add up to 25% to your home’s market value

Real Expertise

Architecture and planning go hand-in-hand. We know exactly how to navigate both. We’ve secured hundreds of extensions with ease by understanding each London council’s specific criteria and tailoring applications accordingly. Our team knows how to design with planning success in mind from the start, so you're not caught in a cycle of rejections or delays. With us, you're in safe, experienced hands.

We get it, plans change. Clients often rethink layouts or add new ideas mid-project, and that’s fine by us. We stay adaptable so your final space feels exactly right, even if the vision evolves along the way.

Loft Conversion Considerations

When planning your loft conversion, consider these key factors to ensure a smooth and successful project:

  • Type of loft conversion: Choose the right style for your home, whether it’s a dormer loft conversion or another option, to suit your needs and space.
  • Dormer loft conversion: A popular choice, offering extra space and headroom without extensive changes to the roof.
  • Roof: The structure and condition of your roof will influence the design and feasibility of your conversion.
  • Party wall: If you share a wall with a neighbour, a party wall agreement may be necessary to prevent disputes.
  • Building regulations: Your loft conversion must meet building regulations to ensure it’s safe, secure, and energy-efficient.
  • Planning application: A planning application may be required depending on the scope of your conversion. We’ll guide you through this process.

These considerations will help ensure your loft conversion is well-planned and meets all necessary requirements.
