Our Loft Remodels

Utilising unused areas within a property, our loft conversions offer an efficient solution. Unlike extensions, loft remodels do not impede your outdoor space but effectively add an extra storey to domestic or commercial premises, increasing property value and energy efficiency. Our building company offers the following conversion types:

  • Dormer Conversions

  • Hip-to-Gable Conversions

  • Mansard Conversions

  • L-Shaped Dormers

  • Velux Conversions

Once the conversion is complete, our team will transform the interior to your exact specifications. This work includes:

  • Plumbing

  • Electrics

  • Heating

  • Loft Ladder Installation

  • Insulation

Preparing for Your Conversion

When you hire our building company, you receive a comprehensive service that covers everything from planning permission assistance to painting and decorating. This includes extensive preparation work that ensures your new space is fully functional and compliant with the necessary building codes and regulations. You can learn more about what these preparations involve below.

Planning Permission

If you are unsure whether your conversion requires planning permission, leave it to our team. We will liaise with your local council to help you navigate the planning process and complete the necessary applications.

Generally speaking, loft conversions are considered permitted development, which means you don't need planning permission if you meet certain criteria. However, you may need planning permission if your plans:

  • Exceed the permitted cubic meter limit

  • Involve significant structural changes

  • Extend or alter the roof space beyond its current boundaries

Structural Calculations

When completing a project that involves significant changes to a property’s structure, such as a Velux conversion, detailed documents are required to ensure the work is safe and structurally sound. It is extremely important you consult a structural engineer to be confident in the safety and usability of the finished conversion. In short, structural calculations are used to:

  • Ensure the new space can support its weight and external pressures

  • Prevent issues like floor sagging and wall cracking

  • Ensure your loft remodel meets local building regulations

Roof Inspections

Before construction can begin on your Chelmsford or Romford property, our team will thoroughly examine your roof structure. This is done to assess your roof's suitability for the additional load and determine if any necessary repairs or modifications are needed to safely support the new space. We will take care of all elements, including:

  • Scaffolding hire and installation

  • Site clearance and preparation

  • Roof pitch, load-bearing capacity, and potential leak point checks
