Frequently Asked Loft Conversion Questions

Can we convert our loft?

Absolutely. Many homeowners assume their loft needs to be unusually large to be usable—but that’s rarely the case. Around 90% of UK lofts are suitable for conversion. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your roof space and let you know exactly what’s possible.

​

​

Do we need planning permission for a loft conversion?

In most cases, planning permission isn’t required, as loft conversions often fall under permitted development rights. However, this depends on the type of conversion and your property’s location.
We’ll handle all planning checks for you and, if needed, manage the full planning application process.

​

​

How long does a loft conversion take?

On average, a standard loft conversion takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete.
Timeframes vary depending on the size, type (dormer, Velux, hip-to-gable), and complexity of your design. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your project planning phase.

​

​

How much does a loft conversion cost?

Costs depend on your loft’s size, structure, and the design specification you choose. We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” pricing—but we do offer free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your home and budget.

​

Will the conversion cause disruption to our home?

Our unique minimal disruption method means that 80% of the work is completed without entering your home at all.
We access the loft via external scaffolding and a temporary opening in the roof—reducing noise, dirt, and daily disruption.
When it’s time to fit the staircase, we use a sealed sheeting system to prevent mess, protecting your home every step of the way.
