Yes, our team includes experienced designers who can help you visualise and plan the perfect loft conversion. We consider your needs, style preferences, and the existing architecture of your home to create a space that’s both functional and aesthetically 

We specialise in a range of loft conversions, including dormer, mansard, hip-to-gable, and Velux/roof light conversions. Our team will help you choose the best option based on your property's structure and your needs.

Most loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is not required. 

However, if your property is in a conservation area, don’t have permitted development rights or already have altered or added to your roof or are proposing something larger than what permitted development rights allow, planning permission may be necessary. 

We handle all planning and regulatory requirements for you and can advise what route can be taken from the outset.

The cost of a loft conversion in Redbridge can vary depending on the size of the project, the type of conversion (e.g., dormer, mansard, hip-to-gable), and the materials used. On average, prices range from £30,000 to £70,000. We offer a free consultation and quote to give you an accurate estimate for your specific project.

Our design and build team ensure a hassle-free experience, delivering a beautifully converted loft that meets all your needs.

Under current UK Building Regulations, a minimum head height for new staircases is a minimum height of 2m. In rare cases where the existing head height is too low we will advise before any design works commence on solutions to overcome this and as a last resort will advise if ceilings need to be replaced/lowered. As a guide over 90% of our loft conversion projects have not had to replace or lower their existing ceilings.
