L Shaped Loft Extensions

An L-shaped loft extension adds significant space by extending over both the main roof and rear section of a house. It’s ideal for creating extra bedrooms or a large suite, especially in period homes.

Mansard Conversions

Mansard conversions are ideal for those seeking maximum space. This style involves altering the roof structure, creating almost vertical walls for a full room extension. It’s perfect for homes with limited roof height, allowing you to gain a large, usable space.

Hip-to-Gable Conversions

If your home has a hipped roof (sloping on all sides), a hip-to-gable conversion can provide additional space. By straightening one side of the roof, this conversion offers a stylish and practical way to maximise your loft’s potential.

Dormer Loft Conversions

A dormer conversion extends your loft space outward, creating a box-like structure with additional headroom. It’s one of the most popular choices for Barnet homeowners, offering more space and light without altering the house’s exterior too much.

What’s the Right Loft Conversion for Your Home?

Not every loft is the same, and the type of conversion you choose depends on your property. Some are straightforward, while others need a bit more structural work. Here’s what to consider:

Roof light conversion: The most cost-effective option. If your loft already has decent headroom, skylights and a solid floor might be all you need.
Dormer conversion: The most popular choice. A dormer extends the roof to create more space and headroom, making it perfect for bedrooms and offices.
Hip-to-gable conversion: Ideal for semi-detached or detached homes with sloped side roofs. Extending the existing roofline creates a bigger, more usable loft.
Mansard conversion: A bigger transformation. The roof angle is adjusted to add even more living space, often seen on terraced homes.

Let us help you choose the right one for your home.

What to Think About Before Converting

A loft conversion isn’t just about creating extra space—you need to make sure it works for your home. Some key things to factor in:

Structural integrity: Lofts weren’t designed to hold extra weight. We check if your existing structure can handle it or if reinforcements are needed.
Staircase design: Your loft needs easy access, but the new staircase shouldn’t eat into too much of your existing space.
Planning rules: Some loft conversions are covered under permitted development, while others need planning permission. We handle all of that for you.
Natural light: A well-designed loft makes use of skylights, dormer windows or Juliet balconies to bring in fresh air and daylight.

We understand the local planning rules, the best designs for different property types and how to make the most of your space.
