How your home can benefit from a loft conversion

Increased living space

A well-planned conversion can help you utilise underused space in a variety of ways. We can transform your loft into an instant study, entertainment pad, or playroom for the kids.

Additional value

Loft conversions are one of the best investments you can make for your property. Not only will it visually enhance your space, but also make your home more appealing to prospective buyers.

Spectacular views

All loft conversions feature large and high windows, which is ideal for stargazing and seeing your neighbourhood from a whole new perspective.

Securing planning permission

We understand that getting planning permission can be a long and complex process. At Touchstone Lofts, we’ll oversee the entire process so you won’t have to worry.

  • First, we’ll check if you have permitted development rights. If not, you’ll need planning consent for the project to push through.
  • We’ll guide you towards applying for planning consent.
  • If needed, we’ll compile the designs to be submitted to the local authority.
  • We can also help you navigate Party Wall Agreements should you need it.

What do you need to know about a loft conversion for your Dorking home?

What type of loft is right for your home?
Do you have a hip to gable roof, a low pitch eave or have a reduced head height loft? Do you need a dormer conversion, a rooflight loft conversion solution or a flat roof extension? Whatever your concerns or worries, let us answer them with a bespoke design solution that considers all of the technical requirements suited specifically to your conversion.

 

Is planning permission difficult to process?
Are you confused by planning approval, party wall agreements, building control or fire regulations? Our expert team understand exactly what is and isn’t required for your loft conversion and will walk you through each process step by step.

How long will the whole process take?
Whilst some loft conversions can be completed within weeks, we have delivered some complex conversions that have taken many months of planning, design, and construction.

Once we have assessed your needs and inspected your home during the initial meeting, we can quickly provide you with accurate, realistic and robust budgets, along with a free design.

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.

Where will you place the new staircase
