Velux Conversions

Velux conversions maintain the original roofline while creating a new living space. Official Velux windows are installed to maximise natural light, blending seamlessly with existing tiles or slates. This non-intrusive method requires minimal building work, making it a cost-effective solution. Suitable for properties with ample loft height, it often avoids planning permission under permitted development rights.

Dormer Conversions

Rear dormer conversions extend the rear of the property vertically, adding significant floor space and headroom. Ideal for terraced or semi-detached homes, they often include flat-roofed extensions with brick, tile, or rendered finishes. Planning permission is typically unnecessary if permitted development rights apply, though local regulations may vary.

Hip-to-Gable Conversions

Hip-to-gable conversions transform sloped roof ends into flat gable walls, creating spacious loft areas. This method is unsuitable for mid-terraced homes but allows for stairwell integration. Exterior finishes match existing materials, and planning permission is often avoided under permitted development rights.

L-Shaped Conversions

L-shaped dormers connect two extensions, forming an L-shape ideal for Edwardian or Victorian properties. They provide two large rooms with ample light via dormer windows, French doors, and Velux units. Planning permission is typically unnecessary if permitted development rights apply.

Design Consultations

Our team provides tailored design consultations, assessing property style, roof height, budget, and planning regulations. We create bespoke designs and quotations, ensuring projects align with client needs. Initial surveys identify the optimal conversion type, with guidance on materials, finishes, and timelines.

Not everyone has the opportunity in their life time to have a loft conversion on their property, and so it is extremely imperative to get the right advice as to how to go about having this done. This will not only increase the value of your property but will also create more spaces for a new room or bathroom as desired. I was very fortunate to have hired Kent loft to have my loft done on my property.

They provided me with an affordable quotation, with each step clearly stated. Planning advice and in house Architect were provided so, there was no need to worry as the friendly staff assured me about

The team are very hard working/professional and we were extremely happy with the results. When a unforeseen problem occurred a solution was found, when my wife wanted to alter a couple of things, the team made it happen. We were also very happy with the way in which they undertook the project, accessing the roof space from the scaffolding, rather than coming through the house, allowed minimum impact within the original living space. We cannot express how satisfied we are with the final product. Big thanks to all in the Kent Loft Company team

We approached Kent Loft Company to do our loft conversion early last year after speaking to a couple of their previous customers in our road. The people we spoke to had only good things to say about them and after getting their quote (which was competitive against the two other quotes we got) we booked them in to do the work on a fixed price basis.
Covid obviously got in the way during the build (our fault not theirs) but it soon progressed once they were allowed back in.
Needless to say, we are very pleased with the results. Thank you to Lawrence and his team.

The whole team who work for Kent Loft Company are incredible!!!! We have just had our loft conversion completed with a dressing room and ensuite. We had chimneys taken out of each room including the lounge. They started in February and worked through the rain and snow and not a drop of water entered the house!! They were a really nice, friendly,… polite bunch of skilled tradesman who were a pleasure to have working in my house while I was also working. Thanks to Jess and Spencer for the amazing build, the skill Jess has is incredible! Thanks to Chris and Scott our roofers, to Nick the electrician

Had our loft converted with a dormer extension by Kent Lofts during Q1 2021 in South East London. We chose Kent Lofts as they were converting our neighbour's property and were a similar price to other quotes we had. Overall we are happy with the work that was done and would choose Kent Lofts again. Their tradespeople mostly did an excellent job and were happy to come back and resolve outstanding things. The only thing which could have gone better was the speed of the work - while the main building works were completed quickly, there were gaps during the build, which I'm sure were at least partially
