Loft Conversion
Loft conversion in London creating a new bedroom or office with roof windows, insulation upgrades, staircase access, and built in storage

Loft Conversion London, Loft Extension Specialists


A loft conversion is one of the most effective ways to add liveable space without extending into your garden. Home Renovation Services London delivers loft conversion services in London, turning unused attics into bright bedrooms, home offices, and ensuite spaces. We manage the full build from structural assessment and design through to RSJ installation, dormer or mansard construction, insulation, staircase fitting, and final finishing. Every stage is planned to meet Building Regulations and to suit the style and layout of your property.

From a Velux conversion through to a rear dormer, hip-to-gable, or mansard loft extension, we tailor the approach to your roof type, head height, and how you want to use the new space. We focus on practical layouts, strong structural detailing, and a clean finish, so the loft feels like a natural part of your home rather than an add-on.

A typical loft conversion follows a structured sequence, depending on roof structure and the type of conversion. It often starts with scaffolding and opening up the loft space, followed by strengthening the floor and installing structural steels to support the new loads. Where dormers or roof alterations are required, we frame and weatherproof the new structure before moving into internal works. We also aim to reduce disruption by keeping access controlled and protecting the rest of the home from dust.

Once the structure is secure and watertight, we complete first-fix electrics and plumbing, install insulation, and fit the staircase. Walls and ceilings are then plasterboarded and skimmed, followed by second-fix electrics, joinery, flooring, and decoration. If an ensuite is included, we coordinate waterproofing, tiling, and sanitaryware fitting in the correct order. We finish with snagging and a full clean before handover, subject to the agreed scope.

Our Loft Conversion Process

01.

Survey, Design & Approvals

We assess head height and roof structure, confirm the best conversion type, develop the layout, and prepare the drawings and structural calculations needed for approvals.

02.

Structural Works, Dormers & Roof Windows

We install RSJs and new floor structure, frame dormers or roof alterations where required, fit roof windows, and ensure the build is weather-tight before internal works progress.

03.

Insulation, Fit-Out & Handover

We complete insulation and soundproofing, run services, fit the staircase, plaster and finish the space, then complete second-fix, snagging, and handover.

Frequently asked questions

Many loft conversions in London fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning full planning permission is not required as long as the design fits within specific limits and conditions. However, if your property is a flat, in a conservation area, or if you plan to exceed volume limits, planning permission will be necessary. We assist in determining the correct route and managing the application process.

A loft or attic conversion typically requires a minimum head height of around 2.2 metres at the highest central point to be considered suitable for a habitable room. This measurement is taken from the top of the existing ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge timber. While this is not a strict legal requirement set out in UK Building Regulations, it is a widely accepted design guideline used by building control officers to determine whether a loft space is practical and comfortable to convert. Final approval will also depend on factors such as safe staircase access, structural stability, insulation, ventilation, and fire safety compliance.

A standard loft conversion typically takes several weeks to complete, with the exact timeframe depending on the type of conversion, structural requirements, and level of finish. Velux-only conversions are generally quicker to carry out, while dormer, mansard, or hip-to-gable conversions involve more extensive structural work and therefore take longer. We provide a detailed schedule of works to give you a clear outline of the anticipated programme for your specific project.

A loft conversion changes a house structure and that triggers strict fire safety regulations. This requires installing 30-minute fire-rated doors on all rooms leading to the escape route, a mains-powered interlinked smoke alarm system, emergency escape windows, and fire-rated ceilings. We ensure every aspect of fire safety is fully engineered and certified by building control.
