Having completed many loft conversions and building projects over the years, our experienced builders can help you understand what is possible in your current home.
A loft conversion can be designed as a large bedroom, an en-suite bathroom, a quiet office or a flexible family room. The most suitable design will depend on your property type, roof structure, available head height, budget and the amount of additional space you want to create.
Possible conversion types include:
A mansard loft conversion can create substantial internal space and may suit some older properties. L-shaped dormers are commonly considered suitable for Victorian and period homes with rear additions. These are more substantial loft extensions, so their planning and structural requirements must be assessed carefully.
You do not need to know which conversion type your house requires before contacting us. An initial survey can measure the available roof space and help determine whether a roof light, dormer, mansard or gable loft conversion would be the most practical option.
Our team will listen to your ideas and help shape them into a workable design, bringing your dream loft conversion closer to life.

When choosing a loft conversion company, homeowners should consider more than the initial price. Relevant experience, insurance, recent project examples, communication and the detail included within the quotation all matter.
We provide a detailed quote based on the proposed design, structural work, materials and finishes. Loft conversion costs can vary considerably depending on the property, access, conversion type, design complexity, and whether planning or specialist structural work is required.
Your property may be your most valuable asset, so we believe the construction process should be managed carefully. A dedicated project manager can oversee the work, coordinate the skilled team and keep you informed throughout the build process.
Our flexible approach, professional workmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction help make each loft conversion project more organised and less stressful.
A roof light conversion is often the most cost-effective solution where the existing roof already has sufficient usable height and space.
This conversion type typically retains the roof’s existing shape and pitch. Roof windows are installed to provide daylight and ventilation, while internal work may include a strengthened floor, insulation, plastering, electrical work, and a permanent staircase.
Because fewer alterations are made to the external roof structure, a roof light conversion can be less disruptive than a dormer or mansard design. However, the existing loft must still be surveyed to ensure that it can provide a safe, comfortable and compliant living space.
Building Regulations still apply to habitable roof light conversions. Structural strength, fire safety, stairs, insulation, ventilation and electrical installations must all be considered. Existing ceiling structures are also typically not designed to serve as habitable floors, so new floor joists or other structural support may be needed.
A dormer loft conversion extends outward from the existing roof slope, creating additional headroom and usable floor space.
Dormers are among the most popular conversion types because they can suit many houses with sloping roofs. Depending on the property’s structure and design, a dormer can provide enough additional space for a bedroom, bathroom, office, or a combined bedroom and en-suite.
Some rear dormer conversions can be completed under permitted development rights. The applicable limits include a maximum additional roof volume of 40 cubic metres for terraced houses and 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached houses. Any previous roof additions must be included within these limits, and external materials should be similar in appearance to the existing house.
Whether permitted development applies will depend on the exact property and proposed design. We will discuss the relevant requirements before building work starts.
A hip-to-gable loft conversion works by extending the sloping side of a hipped roof to create a vertical gable wall. This changes the roof shape and can provide considerably more internal loft space.
This conversion type is commonly suited to semi-detached and detached homes with a hipped side roof. A detached property with suitable hipped roofs on both sides may also be suitable for a double hip-to-gable conversion, subject to design, structural, and planning considerations.
The additional headroom can make it possible to create a larger bedroom, a bathroom, or a flexible living space. Our loft conversion specialist will assess the roof structure and explain whether a hip-to-gable design is suitable for your property in Mitcham.
Every loft conversion project should begin with a careful assessment of the property.
During the initial consultation and survey, the available roof height, floor area, structure, access and potential staircase location can be reviewed. The design can then be tailored to maximise the new space while remaining appropriate for the existing house.
Some loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, but the work must comply with all relevant limits and conditions. Planning permission may be necessary where a design falls outside those limits or where permitted development rights have been restricted or removed. Planning permission and Building Regulations are separate matters. A habitable loft conversion will normally require a Building Regulations application covering structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, stairs and other technical requirements.
Fire-safety measures may include a protected escape route, suitable smoke alarms and appropriate fire-resisting doors and construction. The specific solution must be designed around the existing property and checked against the applicable Building Regulations guidance.
A Party Wall notice may also be required for some terraced and semi-detached homes, particularly where structural beams need to be supported by or inserted into a shared party wall. Planning permission or Building Regulations approval does not remove the need to comply with the Party Wall etc. Act where it applies.
Once the design and required approvals are in place, our team can manage the construction process through to completion. Your detailed quote and project programme will reflect the chosen conversion type, structural requirements, specification and finishes.
