Services
Dormer Conversions
We create additional living space through dormer conversions, extending rooflines while maintaining structural integrity. Our team handles planning permissions, structural calculations, and interior finishing to transform unused loft space into functional rooms. Projects include gable-end modifications and rear dormer installations, with expert guidance on maximising headroom and natural light.
Velux Conversions
Our Velux conversions introduce natural light and ventilation through precision-installed roof windows. We integrate these into comprehensive loft designs, ensuring watertight seals and energy-efficient glazing. Services include selecting optimal window placements and completing associated carpentry for seamless integration with staircase access and storage solutions.
Loft Conversions
We deliver complete loft conversions from initial concept to final certification, including structural modifications and internal fittings. Our process covers space planning, building regulation compliance, and coordination of electrical, plumbing, and fire safety systems to create habitable spaces meeting exact client specifications.
Staircases
We design and install custom staircases connecting new loft spaces to existing properties. Our carpenters ensure safe, code-compliant constructions using quality materials, with options for space-saving designs and integrated storage solutions beneath stair structures.
Bathroom Installations
We complete full bathroom installations within converted loft spaces, including plumbing, tiling, and sanitaryware fitting. Our team ensures proper waterproofing, ventilation, and compliance with building regulations while optimising layouts for comfort and functionality in restricted spaces.

Conversion With Dormer to Create living area/bedroom and en-suit.
Chris and his crew were first class. We could not have asked for a more professional, reliable & friendly company to deal with our project. From Building Regulation to altering the hipped roof to a gable ended roof with dormer to the rear. Everything was top quality. When Chris had finished and completed their side of the conversion, we were dealing with the internal side of the project, but due to our lack of knowledge and understanding Chris came back, helped & guided us to the finish. We would not hesitate in recommending LOFTS
