What could your loft conversion cost?

Three quick questions. Get an indicative range — no email needed to see it.

1. Loft conversion type

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions are the most common type in London. By extending vertically from the roof slope, a dormer creates additional headroom and usable floor space. This makes it ideal for adding bedrooms, home offices, or ensuite bathrooms.

Dormer conversions work particularly well on Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, where the existing loft structure allows for efficient structural alterations.

L-Shape Dormer Loft Conversion

An L-shape dormer loft conversion combines two dormers at the rear of the property, forming an L-shaped layout. This creates significantly more floor space compared to a standard dormer.

This style is particularly popular in London terraces because it allows homeowners to add large bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms while maintaining the existing roofline at the front.

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion

A hip-to-gable loft conversion extends the sloping side roof (hip) into a vertical wall (gable). This creates additional headroom and floor area within the loft.

This type of conversion is commonly used on semi-detached and end-of-terrace houses where the roof slopes down on one side.

Mansard Loft Conversion

A mansard loft conversion involves altering the entire roof structure to create near-vertical walls and a flat roof. This maximises the available loft space and allows for flexible room layouts.

Mansard conversions are often used where homeowners want the largest possible loft extension, especially in central London properties.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Loft Conversion?

Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, though larger roof alterations or properties in conservation areas may require planning approval.

We can advise on what applies to your property and support design, planning and submissions where needed.
