Get in touch now and we will organise a convenient time to visit your property for a free quotation and feasibility appointment.

The majority of loft conversions do not require planning permission and can be completed under Permitted Development. If extensions stay within your local authorities rules they can also be completed under Permitted Development. Your designer will determine whether you will require planning or not but generally if you live in a listed building, live in a conservation area or have already completed extension work on your house planning permission will be required. We can organise all necessary permissions on your behalf ensuring your work meets current building regulations and has all required certification.

Once the structural work on your loft conversion has been started, a loft conversion including a dormer will take around 9-11 weeks.

We can provide a part build or structural only build for you that will include, full scaled plans, approvals, scaffold and waste removal, structural work, installation of windows and staircase installation. We will leave you with a water tight shell and all work complete on the outside, ready for first fix for all trades to be completed. Perfect for those wanting to spread the cost or DIY enthusiasts. Want a slightly different design? Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

The minimum height required for a standard loft conversion is 2.1 metres from the floor joist to the highest point in your existing roof. If your loft is lower than this we may be able to install a drop landing or carry out a roof raise conversion.

We offer a complete service, working as your project manager so no need to employ anyone extra. We manage every aspect of the work including the architect, structural engineer, building control, groundworks, scaffolding, waste removal, carpentry, steelwork, electrics, plumbing and heating work, brick and block laying, insulating, plasterboard and plastering; all work is carried out by fully qualified professionals. You get to choose the fun bits such as sanitary ware and tiles. We can organise painting, hard flooring and carpeting as extra meaning all you need to do is move in!

We manage all aspects of your build so that you can continue working and carry on as normal with your home life. If you have any questions or want an update on how the work is going we are always on hand. We let you know if there are things to order such as bathrooms or tiles to make sure the build is a smooth process. We have been praised for our communication and making the process easy for busy working professionals and single working parents. No time off should be needed (unless you want it!).

Once you have decided to proceed with us as your builder and accepted our quotation, we are happy to email you a copy of our public liability insurance certificate.

Yes, we write up a full contract of work for all our customers which needs to be signed before any work can be completed. We also provide you with a Schedule of Payments prior to the work starting so you know when to expect invoices and make payment.

We are able to take card payments online, we do although have to charge an additional 2% to cover the card fees.

Most of our clients continue living in their homes for the full build, we keep you fully updated with photos at every stage. In some cases for a loft conversion we have to move walls around on the first floor to allow for the new staircase installation, and for extensions the knock through is the dustiest part. Some clients choose to move out for a couple of days to a week when we do this (but you don’t have to!). We try to minimise disruption, keeping the work in the loft until around week 5 when we knock through for the stairs. This is the most disruptive part of the build, and we always prioritise getting it back together as quickly as possible. 

We will have a skip on site for the duration of the work and will have it removed when all work has been completed. We hold an up to date Waste Carriers Licence which can be provided upon request.
