Service Overview

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.

Types of Loft Conversions

Dormer Loft Conversions

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.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversions

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 Loft Conversions

Mansard conversions alter the roof structure to create near full-height living space. They provide maximum internal area but usually require planning permission.

Velux / Rooflight Loft Conversions

These conversions use roof windows without altering the roof structure. Suitable where there is sufficient existing head height and a simpler layout is required.

Our Loft Conversion Process

Structural Assessment & Feasibility

We assess roof structure, head height, load paths, and access for stairs to confirm whether the loft can be converted safely.

Design Coordination & Approvals

We review architectural drawings, structural calculations, and planning requirements to ensure compliance before work starts.

Construction & Inspections

Structural works, steel installation, floor construction, and insulation are completed in stages with required inspections throughout.

Completion & Sign-Off

Final finishes are completed, building control approval is obtained, and the loft conversion is handed over ready for use.

Planning Permission & Building Regulations

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about loft conversions.

Do you help with planning permission and drawings?

Yes. We can guide you through the planning process and work alongside architects, structural engineers, and building control where required. If planning permission isn’t needed, we’ll still ensure the extension complies fully with building regulations.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Most loft conversions take between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on the type of conversion, structural work involved, and inspections required.

Are you fully insured and building regulations compliant?

Yes. We are fully insured, and all work is carried out in line with current building regulations. Required inspections are arranged and completed at the correct stages of the build.

Will I need to move out during the loft conversion?

In most cases, no. Loft conversions are usually carried out with minimal disruption, as much of the work is done through the roof.

What types of house extensions do you build?

We build a wide range of extensions, including:

Rear extensions

Side extensions

Wrap-around extensions

Single storey extensions

Double storey extensions

Kitchen extensions

We’ll advise on what works best for your property and budget.

Do you provide a written quote and clear stages?

Yes. After a site visit, we provide a clear, detailed quote outlining what’s included. We explain each stage of the build so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises

Do loft conversions need planning permission?

Many do not, but permission may be required depending on the type of conversion and location.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Most loft conversions take 8–12 weeks, depending on complexity and inspections.

Is my loft suitable for conversion?

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.

What is the minimum head height needed for a loft conversion?

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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a loft conversion?

Yes. All loft conversions must comply with building regulations covering structural safety, fire protection, insulation, soundproofing, and stair design.

Where will the stairs go?

Stairs are usually positioned above the existing staircase to maintain fire compliance and efficient use of space. Final positioning depends on layout and regulations.

Can I add a bathroom to my loft conversion?

Yes, provided there is sufficient space and suitable plumbing routes. Adding a bathroom will increase cost and build time.

What type of loft conversion is best for my house?

This depends on roof shape, available space, planning constraints, and budget. Dormer and Velux conversions are common in Harrow, while mansards offer maximum space.

How much disruption should I expect?

There will be noise and some internal work when stairs are installed, but disruption is generally less than with ground-floor extensions.

Will a loft conversion add value to my property?

Yes. A well-designed loft conversion typically adds significant value, especially when creating an additional bedroom or bathroom.

Are party wall agreements required for loft conversions?

Often, yes—particularly for terraced and semi-detached homes where structural work affects shared walls. This should be addressed before work begins.

How much does a loft conversion cost in Harrow?

Most loft conversions cost between £35,000 and £80,000, depending on conversion type, structural work, and finishes.

Do loft conversions affect roof warranties or insurance?

Your home insurance provider should be informed before work begins. Roof warranties may be affected depending on the scope of roof alterations.

Can my loft conversion include roof windows or skylights?

Yes. Rooflights are common and often permitted under development rules, provided they meet height and placement requirements.
