Our Loft Conversions

We offer a comprehensive range of loft conversions to homeowners across Hertfordshire and North London.

Dormer Loft Conversion

The most popular option. A dormer extension projects from the roof slope, creating full standing headroom and maximising usable floor space.

Hip-to-Gable Conversion

Ideal for semi-detached and detached homes. We extend the hip roof to create a vertical gable wall, significantly increasing loft space.

Velux / Rooflight Conversion

The most cost-effective option. We install Velux windows into the existing roof structure without altering its shape. Perfect when headroom allows.

Mansard Loft Conversion

The premium option that replaces one or both roof slopes with near-vertical walls and a flat roof. Offers maximum space but typically requires planning permission.

L-Shaped Loft Conversion

Designed for Victorian terraced houses with rear outriggers. Two dormers create an L-shaped living space, ideal for a bedroom plus en-suite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our loft conversions.

How much does a loft conversion cost in Hertfordshire?
Loft conversions in Hertfordshire typically cost between £25,000 and £75,000 depending on the type. Velux conversions start around £25,000, dormer conversions from £35,000, and hip-to-gable or mansard conversions from £45,000–£55,000. Contact us for a free, accurate quote.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development and don't require planning permission. However, you may need permission if your property is in a conservation area, is a listed building, or the conversion exceeds certain volume limits. We assess this during your free survey.
How long does a loft conversion take?
A typical loft conversion takes 8–12 weeks from start to completion. Velux conversions may be quicker (6–8 weeks), while more complex mansard or L-shaped conversions can take 10–14 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline with your quote.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
Yes, a well-executed loft conversion typically adds 15–20% to your property value. In Hertfordshire, where property prices are higher, this can represent a significant return on investment. An extra bedroom with en-suite is the most sought-after configuration.
Can I stay in my home during the loft conversion?
Yes, most of our clients stay in their homes throughout the conversion. The majority of work happens above your existing living space. We minimise disruption and keep the site clean and tidy at all times.
