Get a Unique Loft Design
Each home is as unique as the family living in it, despite the similarities with neighbouring homes. This means each home and household has a unique set of needs and preferences. We take this into account when we come up with personalised designs. This also means that your input is an essential element of the process.
Once we have the design down, it’s all about realising it. You don’t have to worry about anything. We’ll take care of all the plumbing, lighting, wiring, heating, and other elements. Our lofts are not just beautiful, they’re guaranteed safe and up to standards. Throughout the whole project, you’ll have access to one of our managers so they can keep you posted, and you can ask all your queries.
We can help your property fulfil its potential and create that unique living space you have been dreaming of. If you would like to speak about this in more detail, give us a call on 0800 881 8194 to arrange a free design consultation and quote.

Your loft conversion questions answered
Have a question about loft conversions? We’re happy to help. Read our answers to the questions that our customers frequently ask us.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Depending on the size and type, most loft conversions take around 12 weeks.
Will I need to move out during the project?
No – it’s safe to carry on living inside the property. We work from the scaffolding before the stairs go in. Any disruption you experience will mainly come from noise.
Where will you place our new staircase?
We will be able to fit your staircase around your existing layout and will find an option to suit you. If possible, we will try to fit your new staircase over the existing staircase so that it fits seamlessly within your property.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
This depends on your location and type of property – all flats require planning, but if you live in a house that isn’t in a designated area, then permitted development is usually used and no planning is required. There are many other factors to take into account and one of our surveyors can advise further.
How much does a loft conversion cost?
Most cost between £30,000 and £50,000. This depends on the size and type – bigger and more complicated jobs take longer and therefore will cost more. See pricing information for further details.
What is a party wall agreement and do I need one for a loft conversion?
A party wall agreement (PWA) is required if you have a semi-detached or a terraced property and you are working within or near your neighbour’s boundary. We can advise when the surveyor visits.
Does a loft conversion add value to a home?
Yes – it will add from 20% to 30% upwards depending on the size, design and type.
How much head height do you need for a loft conversion?
If you have a clear head height of 2m then a loft conversion may be possible. Our surveyor will need to assess this to confirm.
What’s possible with your loft conversion?
These are some of the build possibilities you might want to consider for your loft conversion:
