Questions
What types of loft conversions do you offer?
We specialise in dormer, hip-to-gable, rooflight, trussed roof, L-shaped dormer, mansard, low pitch, and bungalow loft conversions. Our team adapts designs to suit semi-detached, terraced, and pre-war properties.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
98% of our loft conversion plans gain first-time approval under permitted development rights. We handle all planning submissions and advise when formal applications are required for specific property types.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Most projects complete within 12 weeks. Complex designs or adverse weather conditions may extend timelines, but we maintain regular progress updates and coordinate trades efficiently.
Can I live in my home during the conversion?
Yes, our construction methods allow residents to remain in their properties. We work from scaffolding before installing stairs to minimise internal disruption, though some noise should be expected.
What guarantees do you offer?
We provide optional Home Improvements Guarantees covering deposits, work in progress, and completed projects. Our work also comes with standard warranties for structural elements and installations.
How much does a loft conversion cost?
Most projects range between £40,000-£60,000 depending on size and complexity. We provide detailed quotes during free surveys, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
