What we build

Which loft conversion is right for your home?

Every London property is different. On your free survey we tell you exactly which conversion your roof allows, and what it involves, before you commit to anything.

Dormer loft conversion

Dormer

The London favourite. Adds full head height and floor space, ideal for a terrace or semi.

The Loft Life difference

One team. One price. No surprises.

The usual way

  • A salesman quotes it, subcontractors build it, and the people on your roof have never seen the drawings.
  • The price moves once the work starts, and the extras arrive when you are too far in to stop.
  • You appoint an architect, then an engineer, then a builder, and chase all three.
  • A guarantee that is only as good as the company still being there in five years.

How we work

  • Our own team, never subbed out. The people who survey your loft are the people who build it.
  • A fixed price, in writing. The figure you sign is the figure you pay, with staged payments at milestones.
  • Design and planning handled. Drawings, structural calculations and the application, all in-house under one project manager.
  • Ten years, insurance backed. Underwritten, so it stands whatever happens to us.
Worth more than it costs

A loft that pays you back.

A loft conversion is one of the best investments you can make in your home. It adds the space you need now, and can add up to twenty percent to your property's value. Finance options can be arranged to help spread the cost, so just ask on your free design visit.

Before and after

What actually changes up there.

A hip to gable on a London semi, photographed from the scaffold. The end wall is built up square, the floor goes in, and the roof comes back over the top.

  1. The original hipped roof of a London semi before work starts, seen from the scaffolding Before

    The roof as we find it

    The original hip slopes in from the end wall, so the usable floor stops well short of it. Head height runs out long before the room does.

  2. The same roof with the hip removed and a new structural floor deck laid across the joists During

    Squared off and floored

    The hip comes off and the end is built up square. A new structural floor goes down across the whole footprint, so the room is full height wall to wall.

  3. The finished house from the street, with the new gable end rendered white and roof windows in the front slope After

    Finished from the street

    The new gable rendered and the roof made good, with roof windows set into the front slope. A whole extra floor, and it reads as though it was always there.

How it works

From first visit to finished loft.

  1. Day one

    Free design survey

    We visit, measure up, and tell you honestly what your roof allows. If it will not work, we say so on the day rather than selling you something that disappoints.

  2. Weeks 1 to 4

    Design and planning

    Drawings, structural calculations and any planning application, handled in-house. You are not appointing an architect and an engineer separately.

  3. Before we start

    Your fixed price

    One written quote, itemised, agreed before anyone lifts a tool. Staged payments at milestones, so you are never paying for work that has not happened.

  4. Typically 6 to 10 weeks

    We build

    Our own team on site with one named project manager throughout. Scaffold up, roof opened, structure in, then made watertight before anything else happens.

  5. Handover

    Sign-off and guarantee

    Building control sign-off, the ten-year written guarantee in your hand, and a room you can move into rather than a snagging list.
