Our Services

Types of loft conversion we take on in Nottingham

From simple rooflight conversions to full mansards, we recommend the right type of loft conversion for your roof, budget and how you want to use the new space.

Dormer loft conversions

The most popular choice in Nottingham. A dormer extends out from the sloping roof to create full head height, more floor space and large windows. Ideal for a proper double bedroom, often with room for an en-suite.

Hip-to-gable conversions

Perfect for semi-detached and detached homes with a hipped (sloping side) roof. We build the sloping side up into a vertical gable wall, unlocking a much larger, usable loft room.

Mansard loft conversions

A mansard rebuilds the roof to create the maximum possible space and a near-vertical rear wall. It gives the largest rooms and a high-end finish, and works well on period and terraced properties.

Velux / rooflight conversions

If your loft already has good head height, a rooflight conversion is the most cost-effective option. We add Velux windows, a floor, insulation, stairs and electrics without changing the roof shape, so planning is rarely needed.

L-shaped dormer conversions

Common on Victorian and Edwardian homes with a rear outrigger. Two dormers join in an L-shape to create generous space, often enough for a bedroom plus a separate bathroom.

Attic & bungalow conversions

Converting the attic of a bungalow can effectively double your living space. We assess head height and structure carefully and design a layout that transforms how the whole home works.

Loft conversions with en-suite

A loft bedroom feels complete with its own bathroom. As full bathroom fitters, we design and install en-suites and wet rooms in the loft in-house, fully tanked and finished.

Garage conversions

Not using the garage for the car? We convert garages into warm, usable rooms such as offices, gyms, playrooms or extra bedrooms, fully insulated and finished to building regulations.

Design, planning & building regulations

We produce the drawings, check permitted development, submit any planning or lawful development application, and manage structural calculations and building control from start to finish. A loft conversion is a great alternative to a home extension when you want space without losing garden.

Structure, stairs, first & second fix

Steel beams, new floor joists, dormer construction, the new staircase, insulation and windows, then our own electricians, plumbing and plasterers bring the room to a clean, ready-to-decorate finish.

The Process

How our loft conversion process works

We keep things simple, clear and tidy from first visit to final sign-off. Here’s how it usually goes:

  1. 1

    Step 1: Free consultation and survey

    We visit at a time that suits you, check your head height, roof type and structure, and talk through how you want to use the space.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Design and fixed-price quote

    We recommend the best type of loft conversion, prepare drawings and send you a clear, itemised written quote. No pressure and no obligation.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Planning and building regulations

    We handle any planning or lawful development application, structural calculations and building control approval before anything begins.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Structural work and build

    We install steel beams and the new floor, construct the dormer or reshape the roof, and fit windows so the shell is weathertight.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Staircase, first & second fix

    We build the new staircase and fit insulation, plumbing, electrics and plastering, keeping the site tidy and giving you honest daily updates.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Finishing, sign-off and aftercare

    We complete the decoration, arrange building control sign-off, clean up and walk you through everything. Our guarantee and support continue long after we’ve left.

Pricing

How much does a loft conversion cost in Nottingham?

Every home and roof is different, so the only way to get an accurate price is with a written quote after we’ve surveyed the space and understood exactly what you need.

The cost of a loft conversion depends on the type (a Velux conversion costs less than a dormer, and a mansard or hip-to-gable more), the size of the space, whether you’re adding an en-suite, the amount of structural work involved and the finish you choose.

Instead of giving rough estimates that often change, we prefer to give you one clear, fixed price after a proper survey, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before any work begins.

FAQs

Loft Conversion FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Nottingham?
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development and don’t need full planning permission, but this depends on the type, size and your property. We check this for you and handle any planning application or lawful development certificate if it’s needed.
Will my loft convert and how much head height do I need?
As a rule of thumb you need around 2.2 to 2.4 metres of headroom at the highest point of the loft. We carry out a free survey to confirm whether your loft is suitable and, if head height is tight, we can advise on options such as a dormer or mansard.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Most loft conversions take around 6 to 10 weeks depending on the type and complexity. We give you a clear schedule before we start and keep you updated throughout.
Does a loft conversion add value to my home?
Yes. A well-built loft conversion, especially one that adds an extra bedroom and en-suite, is one of the best returns on investment in home improvement and can add significant value to a Nottingham property.
Can you add an en-suite or bathroom in the loft?
Yes. Because we’re a full construction company, we install en-suites, plumbing and electrics in-house, so your loft bedroom can have its own bathroom without bringing in separate trades.
What types of loft conversion do you offer?
We carry out dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard, Velux or rooflight and L-shaped dormer conversions, as well as attic and bungalow conversions. We recommend the best type for your roof, budget and how you want to use the space.
Do you handle building regulations and structural calculations?
Yes. Every loft conversion we build is designed and completed to current UK building regulations, including structural calculations for steel beams and floor joists and building control sign-off.
Will a loft conversion be disruptive to my home?
We keep disruption to a minimum. Much of the early work happens up in the loft and, where possible, we access it externally. We protect your home, keep the site tidy, and give you honest daily updates.
Do you also do garage conversions in Nottingham?
Yes. Alongside lofts we convert garages into usable living space such as home offices, playrooms, gyms or extra bedrooms, fully insulated and finished to building regulations.
