Our Custom Loft Conversion Options
Dormer Loft Conversions
The most popular choice for Essex homeowners seeking maximum usable floor area. Dormer extensions project vertically from a sloped roof, creating straight walls and full ceiling height. Perfect for adding a spacious master bedroom and luxury en-suite shower room.
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions
Designed specifically for semi-detached and end-of-terrace houses with a sloping side roof. We replace the sloped "hip" roof with a vertical gable end wall, dramatically increasing internal volume to accommodate new rooms and proper staircase access.
Mansard Loft Conversions
Designed specifically for semi-detached and end-of-terrace houses with a sloping side roof. We replace the sloped "hip" roof with a vertical gable end wall, dramatically increasing internal volume to accommodate new rooms and proper staircase access.
Velux & Rooflight Conversions
Ideal for properties with existing high-pitch roofs. We install high-performance Velux windows directly into the existing roof slope, providing a light-filled bedroom, home office, or studio without altering the exterior footprint.
