Our Services

The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -

01.

Dormer Loft

Best for: Extra headroom and usable floor space, without requiring significant structural changes. This is one of the most popular choices for homes in Sutton. We build a dormer by extending part of your sloped roof to create vertical walls and a flat ceiling. It’s a practical way to add a full-sized room, often a bedroom with an en-suite. We’ve fitted dormers on everything from narrow terraces near Sutton station to popular streets like chiltern road and york road. It’s a great all-rounder.

02.

Hip to Gable Loft

Best for: Semi-detached or end-of-terrace homes with a sloping side roof. If your home has what’s known as a ‘hipped’ roof, this conversion straightens out that slope and creates more headroom across the loft. It’s especially effective when paired with a rear dormer. We've used this method on several homes off Cornwall Road and The Downsway, a great way to open up awkward loft layouts.

03.

Velux Loft

Best suited for: Homes with sufficient existing head height. This is the least disruptive option, with no changes to the roof shape and rooflights added to let light flood in. You keep the existing structure, which means it’s more affordable and quicker to complete. We’ve done a few of these in conservation areas around Sutton where external alterations are restricted.

04.

L-shaped Dormer

Best for: Larger Victorian and Edwardian homes with rear extensions. An L-shaped dormer joins two sections—one over the main house and one over the rear addition—forming an “L” layout. It’s ideal if you want two rooms, such as a bedroom and a separate bathroom, without compromising the space. We’ve had great results with this design on period homes around Sutton.

05.

Mansard Loft

Best for: Maximum space—ideal if you want to add more than one room. This type of conversion involves rebuilding the slope of the roof at the back of the property to a much steeper angle. It’s more work and usually requires planning permission, but it creates the most room by far. We recently completed one of these in Hadley, turning a cramped loft into two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

06.

Bungalow Loft

Best for: Unlocking the full potential of single-storey homes. Sutton has some generously sized bungalows, and their lofts are often completely unused. A conversion can easily add two bedrooms and a bathroom, without touching the ground floor. We've transformed homes in Cheam and Carshalton this way, especially popular with growing families.

07.

Loft Conversion for Flats

Best for: Top-floor flats in converted houses. It’s not as straightforward; you’ll need permission from the freeholder and possibly the council, but we’ve helped clients in flats create brilliant extra space in their lofts. Always check your lease first. We’ve guided lots of Sutton flat owners through the process.

08.

Small Dormer

Best for: Homes in protected or sensitive areas. In some conservation areas, a full dormer isn’t permitted—but a small dormer with a discreet window can still provide extra headroom and natural light. We’ve built these in parts of Sutton where planning is more sensitive, subtle, but effective.

Planning Permission

In many cases, loft conversions in Sutton do not require any planning permission as long as they are within the permissible development conditions of the type of property you have. Unless your house or flat is located in a conservation area, different rules will apply to loft conversions. Dormer conversions to the front of your home will require planning permission, as they overlook the main road. We advise to always check with your local authority on whether your property will require planning permission or not.

Building Regulations

Building Regulations are an essential part of all Loft Conversions across the UK. Every loft conversion must adhere to the building regulation standards, and every construction stage of the loft conversion must be verified and checked by the local authority's building control and signed off. To comply with building regulations, you will need to meet the requirements in various categories, including headroom, insulation, steelwork, stairs, fire safety, electrical systems, and many others.

The Build Process

Scaffolding will be erected to complete the outdoor work, and a roof cover may be required if the weather is harsh. The current roof has been removed, and the height of the party walls has been increased. After that, a new roof will be built at a different angle than the old one. Internally, the current loft floor will almost always require reinforcement, and an access point, such as a staircase, will be constructed. Interior walls will be built, and any electrical and plumbing work should be finished. All that's left now is to decorate, furnish, and enjoy your new living area.

Do Loft Conversions Add Value to your Sutton Property?

Yes, they do! Did you know that by adding a loft conversion to your property in Sutton, you can add more than £42,000 to the overall value of your property? If you add an extra bathroom, then the value could be boosted by £10,000. (Source: The Guardian) According to Nationwide Building Society, installing an additional bathroom could add around 5% or £ 9,600 to the value of a property in the UK. (Based on average house prices). However, increasing the internal floor space by 10% will add a further £10,000, or 5.1%, to the value of the property. Based on average UK property prices, an extension or loft conversion could increase your property's value by over 22% or close to £42,000 and by adding an extra bedroom, could boost the value of your property by 11% or £22,100. The chief economist at Nationwide, Robert Gardner, said that home buyers are ready to pay more for extra usable space, as this was often seen as a better quality of accommodation.

Loft Conversion Ideas and Our Top Tips for Sutton Homes

A loft conversion in London will give you that extra space within your house at a fraction of the cost. Instead of moving to a new place, consider adding this space to your loft and increasing its value simultaneously. Below is our complete, in-depth guide to Loft conversion ideas and the tips to follow before you start your loft conversion. Before you begin any work on your loft conversion, you need to get the internal structure right, including the specifications of the extra bedroom, your estimated budget, the type of natural light and windows you want to install, and many more. We will provide you with all the loft conversion ideas you can implement in your house. We understand that budget is the most critical factor in a loft conversion. With our tips and ideas, you can pre-plan and ensure you stay within your budget.

Is your House in Sutton Suitable for a Loft Conversion?

Before starting a Loft Conversion, you need to check if your loft space is suitable for conversion. Most of the houses within Sutton come with permitted development, which in simpler terms means that you can carry on with your loft conversion without the need for any planning permission. We can visit your house for a site survey and guide you on what can be done regarding your loft conversion.

Measure the Headspace

Did you know that your Loft needs to have a minimum head height of 2.3m for you to convert it? Yes, that's correct, there is a limitation on the conversion of your loft based on the height. There are other obstacles which can affect this decision or hinder the planning permission process too, such as the pitch of the roof, chimneys, water tanks in the loft, etc. Don't worry if your roof space is less then 2.3m as there are various options available such as removal of the section of the roof or all of it, in order to increase the headspace. This, in turn, will add to the cost and will require planning permission, unlike a more straightforward conversion.

Do consider the floor below

Another idea is to lower the ceiling of the rooms below so that your loft's headspace increases and meets the required 2.3m height. This process again can be costly but can sort your issue for more space.

Look for other Conversions on your Street

A simple way to determine if your loft can be converted is to look for loft conversions on your street. Look for similar houses on your street and whether or not they have had loft conversions. If you see example, then its more then likely that you can too. All in all, everything is possible if you want a loft conversion.
