LOFT CONVERSIONS
Unlock the hidden potential above your head — transform your unused loft into a stunning bedroom, bathroom, office or living space.
What's Included
THE SMARTEST WAY TO ADD SPACE.
A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add a bedroom and increase the value of your home — without losing any garden space. Most loft conversions don't even require planning permission.
We specialise in all types of loft conversion across Gloucester, from simple Velux conversions to full dormer and hip-to-gable builds. We'll carry out an initial assessment to check feasibility, and we strongly recommend having architect's drawings in place before work begins — we can recommend an architect if you need one.

How It Works
OUR PROCESS
LOFT SURVEY
We assess your loft's suitability — head height, roof structure and access — and advise on the best conversion type for your home.
ARCHITECT & PERMISSIONS
We recommend having architect's drawings in place from the start — we can refer you to one if needed. Your architect handles any planning applications or building regulations submissions.
STRUCTURAL BUILD
Our team installs steelwork, new floor joists, dormer structure and roofing — all weathertight before internal work begins.
FIT-OUT & HANDOVER
Insulation, boarding, plastering, electrics, plumbing and decoration — fully finished and ready to move into.
Common Questions
FAQS
Does a loft conversion need planning permission?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development and don't require planning permission. Exceptions include properties in conservation areas, listed buildings, or where the conversion significantly alters the roofline. Your architect will be able to advise and handle any submissions required.
How much head height do I need?
You'll typically need at least 2.2m from the floor joists to the ridge for a comfortable conversion. We'll measure this during the free survey and advise on options if your loft is on the lower end.
How long does a loft conversion take?
A standard dormer loft conversion takes approximately 6–10 weeks. A Velux-only conversion can be completed in as little as 4 weeks.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
Yes — a well-executed loft conversion typically adds 15–20% to a property's value, making it one of the best returns on investment for home improvements.
