We design and build loft conversions for homeowners in Harrow who want to create usable living space within their existing roof. From additional bedrooms to quiet home offices, our loft conversions are planned and delivered with full structural control and clear communication throughout.
Trusted by local homeowners for safe, compliant loft conversions across Harrow and North West London.
A loft conversion transforms unused roof space into a functional room without extending the footprint of your home. It is one of the most efficient ways to add space and value while minimising disruption to daily living.
Homeowners choose loft conversions because they:
Avoid reducing garden space
Add bedrooms or bathrooms without moving
Improve property value and layout
Can often be built under permitted development
Typical uses for loft conversions include:
Master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
Children’s bedrooms
Home offices or study spaces
Additional living or hobby rooms
Each conversion is designed around head height, natural light, and safe access.
Dormers extend vertically from the roof slope, creating additional headroom and floor space. They are the most common option for terraced and semi-detached houses.
This type straightens a sloping roof side to form a vertical gable wall, increasing internal space. Commonly used on semi-detached and end-of-terrace properties.
Mansard conversions alter the roof structure to create near full-height living space. They provide maximum internal area but usually require planning permission.
These conversions use roof windows without altering the roof structure. Suitable where there is sufficient existing head height and a simpler layout is required.
We assess roof structure, head height, load paths, and access for stairs to confirm whether the loft can be converted safely.
We review architectural drawings, structural calculations, and planning requirements to ensure compliance before work starts.
Structural works, steel installation, floor construction, and insulation are completed in stages with required inspections throughout.
Final finishes are completed, building control approval is obtained, and the loft conversion is handed over ready for use.
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, provided they:
Do not exceed volume limits
Do not extend beyond the existing roof plane facing the road
Use materials similar to the existing roof
Planning permission is required for:
Mansard conversions
Roof extensions beyond permitted limits
Properties in conservation areas or listed buildings
All loft conversions must comply with Building Regulations, including:
Structural stability and steelwork
Fire safety, including protected stair routes
Stair design and head height
Thermal insulation and sound proofing
We ensure inspections and approvals are handled correctly at every stage.

Suitability depends on existing head height, roof structure, and space for stairs. Most homes in Harrow can be converted, but a site assessment is required to confirm feasibility.
Typically, a minimum of 2.2 metres at the highest point of the loft is required before conversion. This can sometimes be achieved by lowering ceilings or adjusting roof structure.
Yes. All loft conversions must comply with building regulations covering structural safety, fire protection, insulation, soundproofing, and stair design.
Stairs are usually positioned above the existing staircase to maintain fire compliance and efficient use of space. Final positioning depends on layout and regulations.
Yes, provided there is sufficient space and suitable plumbing routes. Adding a bathroom will increase cost and build time.
This depends on roof shape, available space, planning constraints, and budget. Dormer and Velux conversions are common in Harrow, while mansards offer maximum space.
There will be noise and some internal work when stairs are installed, but disruption is generally less than with ground-floor extensions.
