Service overview
Plain-English breakdown, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why it matters before we set foot on site.
Full loft conversions, dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard and Velux, including structural ridge beams, fire-rated escape routes, insulation to current Part L, electrics, plumbing for en-suites, plastering and decoration. Sign-off and certificates issued in your name.
Families needing a fourth or fifth bedroom, homeowners adding an en-suite master, and remote workers wanting a quiet office above the noise of the house.
You've outgrown the house but love the postcode; you want to add value before resale; or the existing loft is wasted insulation and storage and you're ready to make it habitable.
Loft conversions add bedroom count and floor area without losing garden or paying stamp duty on a bigger house. Done correctly, they typically return 15–25% on the property value.
The cost of doing nothing
Loft conversions look simple from the street and complex from the inside. Fire compartmentation, head height and structural transfer are the three things most cheap quotes get wrong.

In depth
The details a salesperson skips. Skim it, or read every word, both are useful.
The most common option for Victorian and 1930s Tunbridge Wells stock, a rear dormer adds full standing head height and the floor area for a double bedroom plus en-suite. We handle structural ridge beams, dormer cheeks and roof in zinc or tile, large rear glazing, full insulation to Part L, and a compliant staircase up from the existing landing.
Where the existing roof has a hipped end (common on 1930s semis and detached), we square the gable up to ridge height and add a rear dormer for maximum usable floor area, typically two bedrooms and an en-suite from a previously unusable loft.
Where head height already exists (steeper roof pitches and Victorian terraces), Velux rooflights alone can create a beautiful bright bedroom or office without the cost or planning of a dormer. Quicker programme, lower budget, same standard of insulation and fire compliance.
Costs vary by size, spec and complexity. Quotes are free. After a free on-site survey you'll receive a fixed itemised written quote, we aim for a 48-hour turnaround.
