What can loft conversion companies help with?
Loft conversion companies, mostly comprised of a number of skilled builders, offer comprehensive services to maximise your home’s potential, including:
- Design and Planning: Crafting detailed plans that comply with local building regulations and improve space efficiency.
- Structural Alterations: Strengthening floors, adjusting roof structures, and modifying the loft space to accommodate new room layouts.
- Insulation and Ventilation: Ensuring that the new space is comfortable, energy-efficient, and meets all thermal and acoustic insulation standards.
- Windows and Natural Light: Installing skylights, dormer windows, or Velux windows to bring natural light into the loft area.
- Stairs and Access: Designing and installing safe and aesthetically pleasing access points to the new loft space.
- Utilities and Services: Extending electrical wiring, plumbing, and heating to the loft, including the installation of new heating systems or air conditioning as required.
What should I consider when hiring a loft converter?
- Are a skilled company with a strong history of high standard projects
- Have all the necessary licences and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the tree surgeon services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other tree surgeon companies
How much do loft conversions cost?
The cost of a loft conversion varies widely based on several factors, including the type of conversion, the size of the loft, the materials used, and your geographic location. Understanding these factors can help you budget appropriately for your loft transformation project.
Types of Loft Conversions and Cost Implications
- Velux Conversions: Often the most cost-effective option, Velux conversions involve installing roof windows without altering the existing roof structure. Prices generally range from £22,500 to £30,000.
- Dormer Conversions: These are among the most popular types of conversions. They involve extending the existing roof to create more headroom and usable space. Costs for dormer conversions typically range between £40,000 and £60,000.
- Hip-to-Gable Conversions: This type of conversion changes the sloping side of a roof (hip) to a flat side (gable), increasing the usable interior space. They are suitable for semi-detached and detached homes, with costs ranging from £50,000 to £70,000.
- Mansard Conversions: Involve replacing one or both roof slopes with steeper sides and a flat roof on top, dramatically increasing space. These are more complex and can cost between £50,000 and £80,000.
- Modular Loft Conversions: These are built off-site and then installed, minimising disruption and construction time. Costs vary from £30,000 to £60,000 depending on the design and materials.
- Bungalow Conversions: Since bungalows have a single-story layout, converting the loft can almost double the living space. These conversions generally cost between £62,500 and £87,500 due to the larger area covered.
Additional Costs to Consider
- Design and Architecture Fees: Depending on the complexity of the project, architectural services can add 10-15% more to the overall cost.
- Planning Permissions: If your conversion requires planning permission, this will incur additional costs for the application process.
- Structural Alterations: Major structural changes, like reinforcing floors and altering roofs, can increase costs significantly.
- Building Regulations: Meeting building regulations is essential and will require spending on inspections and compliance measures.
- Interior Finishing Costs: These include costs for fixtures, fittings, electricals, and decoration, which can vary widely based on your choices.
- External Access: If scaffolding or other external access equipment is needed, this will also add to the project cost.
Budgeting for Your Loft Conversion
To ensure you budget effectively, it’s advisable to obtain multiple detailed quotes from different contractors. Each quote should break down all the costs involved, including a contingency budget of around 10-20% to cover unexpected expenses during the construction process. This detailed planning helps in avoiding surprises and ensuring your loft conversion stays within financial bounds.

Other loft conversion FAQs
What is the 10 year rule with loft conversions?
This rule refers to obtaining a certificate of lawfulness for an existing use of a converted loft if it has been in continuous use for at least 10 years without planning permission.
Is a loft conversion cheaper than an extension?
Generally, loft conversions can be cheaper and less disruptive than building an extension, as they often require fewer structural alterations.
Are loft conversions very cold in the winter?
With proper insulation and heating solutions, a loft conversion should be as warm and cosy as any other part of your home.

They were punctual, polite, friendly, and professional and the job was reasonably priced.

Job executed correctly, although quote was very high compared to few others I got after John completed it. During the work, John dropped a hammer from the ladder by mistake, which ended up damaging my neighbor property. I had to call him back once I saw the hammer in my neighbor front yard and found the smashed pieces in the front. Despite various promises of replacing/fixing/paying some compensation, it's been now 2 months and John stopped replying me. Not professional at all

Made a total mess of a small extension. Quoted 2 weeks and after 7 I sacked him off as we were going nowhere. Massive list of his work didn’t comply with building regs and ended up fitting a purlin to roof as he used wrong sized joists. I now have bits of roof hanging off after max 30 mph winds Even managed to cock guttering up so down pipe is nowhere near drains. Roof leaking and I have had to sack him off and pay another load of cash to a set of lads who can do the job. Avoid or he’ll bankrupt you
No job to small an eye for detail and professional advice and design assistance

M S Interiors
Loft Conversion Specialist
Hi , I'm Mark, from MS Interiors. I've been working in the building industry for over 35 years! On leaving school ,I went into a bricklaying apprenticeship, but after three English winter's I decided to find a trade indoors so I got a job on the council, working for Woolwich, Bexley, and then Meadway, where I learned all the skills needed to renovate house, fitting kitchens, bathrooms, hanging doors, plastering, etc. Then came contracts with MFI, Wickes, and B&Q, where I stayed for five years and fitted 200 kitchens and bathrooms! I've worked for local kitchen and bathroom companies and have been working independently on my own now for the last three years doing small renovation work, like building rooms in corners of bedrooms to give the client a enuit , decorating, internal wall removal, flooring , building wardrobes/cabinets / madia walls etc , but predominantly bathrooms!! I really couldn't put a figure on how many bathrooms I've fitted in my working life but it would be in the region of 350 , so I do feel confident in my knowledge and skills as a fitter . I pride myself on my tiling, always trying to strive for perfection as this is what the client sees ! Not that I cut corners anywhere else, using only copper pipe and fittings, and no push fit fittings because that is not plumbing, in my opinion! Many thanks for your time. Mark.
Martin Building Ltd Established in 2003 With a large portfolio of previous projects available for you to see yourself, available to view on our website. Regards Carl Martin
Carl and his team did a fantastic job when working on my garage extension and conversion project. It was the first time that I’ve ever done this type of thing but Carl’s communication was spot on from start to finish. He was courteous and communicative throughout and talked me through each day where the project was at and what was next. If I had to appoint a builder again for whatever reason I wouldn’t hesitate in appointing Martin Building Ltd to complete the job. Thanks again Carl!
