Loft conversions in London
Many London lofts have the potential to become a bedroom, en suite or home office. We convert lofts with careful attention to head height, staircase layout, insulation and natural light, then finish them to the same standard as the rest of your home.
What’s included
- Rear dormer and L-shaped dormer conversions
- Hip-to-gable and mansard conversions
- Rooflight conversions
- New staircases, fire doors and protected escape routes
- Insulation, plastering and electrics
- En suites, built-in storage and decoration
Done properly, every time
Space used well
Staircase position, head height and storage are planned together, so the new room feels generous rather than squeezed in.
Safe and compliant
Structure, fire safety and insulation are built to Building Regulations and inspected as the work progresses.
Light and warmth
Well-placed windows and rooflights, with insulation that keeps the room comfortable in summer and winter.
What affects the cost of loft conversions in London?
Every home is different, so we price each job individually after a free site visit. These are the main things that shape your quote:
- The type of conversion – rooflight, dormer, hip-to-gable or mansard
- Head height, roof structure and any steelwork
- The staircase position and fire safety requirements
- Adding an en suite or built-in storage
- Windows, insulation and interior finishes
Questions about loft conversions
Is my loft suitable for conversion?
As a rough guide, you need a usable head height of around 2.2 metres at the highest point, measured from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge. Roof structure, pitch and floor area matter too, so we’ll assess it properly at a free site visit.
Does a loft conversion need planning permission?
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, but mansards, front-facing dormers and homes in conservation areas usually need planning permission. Every loft conversion needs Building Regulations approval, covering structure, fire safety, insulation and the staircase.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Typically six to ten weeks, depending on the type of conversion and the finish. Much of the early work happens from outside, so disruption inside the home is limited until the staircase goes in.
