Frequently Asked Questions
Are you interested in converting your existing loft? If yes, contact us today. Or read the answers if you have any queries holding you back from making this investment. No matter how big or small the loft conversion project is, we do our best to meet your expectations without exceeding your budget.
Loft conversions divide into two primary classifications: a Velux Conversion preserves the original loft space layout while installing Velux windows to bring in natural light. The dormer conversion involves constructing a dormer structure, which expands loft size through increased headroom and floor space.
The Velux Conversion process normally requires 2-3 weeks to finish. A Dormer Conversion usually takes between 5 to 6 weeks to finish.
For a standard 3-bedroom house undergoing a Velux conversion, the starting price stands at approximately £15,000. Dormer conversions typically start at approximately £25,000. The final construction costs change based on how big the project is, how complex the structural works are, and the second fix finishes that are required.
Yes, modern truss rafter lofts can be converted, and we have the expertise to carry out these projects efficiently.
In most cases, planning permission is not required, as loft conversions fall under permitted development rights. However, planning permission may be required if:
- You live in a conservation area or a listed building.
- You want to install dormer windows facing the road or if a dormer would affect a neighbour’s privacy.
- The conversion would extend beyond the highest part of the existing roof. Your home has already been extended to the limit of its permitted development (typically 15% of its original size).
- If planning permission is required, we will guide you through the application process.
On average, planning approval takes 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your local council’s processing time.
Yes, all our conversions come with a 10-year guarantee, covering both labour and materials.
To ensure a comfortable and functional living space, the existing loft ceiling should be at least 2.4m (8ft) high.
Yes, if your loft contains a hot water tank, our expert plumbers will either relocate it or install a new system if required.
The existing loft hatch will be sealed and plastered over, and a new access point will be created if necessary.
Regular communication during the project guarantees your satisfaction. If changes are needed:
- Smaller modifications to your loft conversion can usually be completed without incurring additional costs.
- While modifications that differ substantially from the original agreement might involve additional fees, we remain committed to providing flexible and sufficient solutions.
Our operations mainly cover London and the greater London area, which extends from Sussex to Hertfordshire.
