Conversion Types

Loft Conversion London — All Types Built

We design and build all loft conversion types for London properties — from a straightforward Velux loft conversion London to a full mansard loft conversion London. In fact, our structural engineers and project managers handle every stage from survey through to the finished loft bedroom.

Dormer Loft Conversion London

A dormer loft conversion London is the most popular type in the capital — a box-shaped structure projecting vertically from the existing roof slope, adding full headroom and maximum usable floor space. Furthermore, most dormer loft conversions qualify under Permitted Development so loft conversion planning permission London is not required. Ideal for terraced and semi-detached homes across London.

£45,000 – £70,000 8–12 Weeks Usually PD

Velux Loft Conversion London

A Velux loft conversion London is the most cost-effective option — adding large roof windows flush with the existing roofline without any structural changes to the roof. As a result, it is the fastest and most affordable loft conversion London route, almost always permitted development. Moreover, Velux windows flood the space with natural light, making even compact lofts feel bright and spacious.

£28,000 – £45,000 6–8 Weeks Always PD

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion London

A hip to gable loft conversion London converts the sloped hip end of your roof into a vertical gable wall — dramatically increasing the usable floor area and headroom of the loft. It is by far the most popular loft conversion type for semi-detached and detached London properties. Furthermore, it is often combined with a rear dormer to create the maximum loft conversion bedroom London footprint.

£55,000 – £75,000 10–14 Weeks Usually PD

Mansard Loft Conversion London

A mansard loft conversion London is the most ambitious and most space-efficient type — transforming the entire rear roof slope into a near-vertical wall topped with a flat roof. In short, it adds the equivalent of a full new storey to your property. However, mansard loft conversions require loft conversion planning permission London and are most common in central London and conservation areas.

How It Works

Our Loft Conversion London Process

From your first call to the finished loft bedroom — here is how our loft conversion London team delivers every project from survey through to building regulations sign-off, managed under one fixed price.

1

Free Loft Survey

To begin with, our project manager visits your property, checks head height, structural integrity and access options. Furthermore, we assess which loft conversion London type suits your property and advise on loft conversion planning permission London requirements — all completely free.

2

Design & Planning

Following the survey, our architectural team produces full drawings and structural calculations. Where loft conversion planning permission London is required, we manage the full planning application. For Permitted Development projects, we submit a Lawful Development Certificate on your behalf.

3

Fixed-Price Contract

Once planning is confirmed and the design is agreed, you receive a written fixed-price contract covering every element of the loft conversion London — from structural steelwork to the finished, decorated loft bedroom. In short, the price never changes from the quote.

4

Structural Works

Our team carries out all structural works — new floor joists, steel beams, roof alterations and dormer or mansard structure. Consequently, a building control inspector visits at key structural stages to verify compliance throughout the loft conversion London build.

5

Fit-Out & First Fix

All insulation, staircase installation, first fix electrical and plumbing works are carried out before boarding and plastering. As a result, the loft conversion bedroom London is fully insulated, wired and plumbed before any finishing begins — no shortcuts, no snags.

6

Completion & Sign-Off

Finally, the building inspector issues your completion certificate. At that point, we carry out a full snagging walk-through with you, resolve any items and issue your written workmanship guarantee. Your new loft conversion bedroom London is ready to use from day one.
