Loft Conversion FAQ
How much does a loft conversion cost in London? +
Loft conversions in London start from around £1,500 per square metre for a Velux conversion, £2,000 for a dormer, and £2,500 or more for a mansard or hip-to-gable. The final figure depends on the type of conversion, the structural work needed and the finishes you choose.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion? +

How long does a loft conversion take to build? +
Most loft conversions take between 8 and 14 weeks on site, depending on the type and complexity. The design and planning stage beforehand typically adds a few months, so it is worth starting early.
What types of loft conversion are there? +
The main types are Velux (rooflight), dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions. The right one depends on your roof shape, the head height available and how much extra space you need. We help you choose the best option for your home.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home? +
A well-designed loft conversion is one of the most effective ways to add both space and value, particularly when it adds a bedroom and en-suite. The exact uplift depends on your location and the quality of the finish.
