Services
Loft conversions
We specialise in converting loft spaces into habitable rooms while maintaining structural integrity. Our process includes assessing head height viability, managing planning permissions, and executing full conversions with minimal disruption. Services cater to traditional and modern properties, including complex W-truss roof structures requiring reinforced storage solutions.
Storage solutions
Our storage conversions optimise loft space through reinforced flooring, insulation, and custom shelving. We install insulated loft ladders and Velux windows while preserving structural timbers. This service suits homeowners seeking practical storage without compromising roof integrity, particularly in new build properties with engineered truss systems.
Office conversions
We create dedicated workspace environments in loft areas, incorporating electrical installations, lighting solutions, and soundproofing. Our team ensures compliance with building regulations while integrating practical features like cable management systems and bespoke storage solutions tailored to individual working requirements.
Project management
From initial consultations to final inspections, we manage all aspects of conversion projects. This includes coordinating with architects, structural engineers, and local councils to obtain necessary warrants, while maintaining transparent communication with homeowners throughout the planning and construction phases.
Client consultations
We provide expert guidance on loft viability assessments, including head height requirements and planning portal research. Our consultations cover cost estimations, project timelines, and structural considerations, helping clients make informed decisions before committing to full conversions.

Questions
What types of loft conversions do you offer?
We handle dormer conversions requiring roof extensions and VELUX conversions using roof windows. We also create storage solutions for W-truss roofs in new builds.
How long does a typical conversion take?
Full conversions take 5-9 weeks once warrants are approved. Storage solutions complete within a week for average-sized properties.
Do I need planning permission?
Most conversions require building warrants. We advise on compliance but homeowners bear responsibility for obtaining official permissions.
Can I convert a new build property?
Yes, we adapt techniques for engineered truss roofs. Solutions include reinforced storage areas when full conversions aren't viable due to structural limitations.
How do you minimise household disruption?
We use temporary partitions, timed construction schedules, and staged material deliveries to maintain household routines during projects.
Can you help with warrant drawings?
We provide quotes once architects complete warrant drawings. We cannot offer formal cost estimates without approved planning documentation.

Ray and Logan completed our loft conversion in October 2021. We are very happy with the services provided by them both (and Ray's son Jayden who helped out) - they were respectful of our home and polite to the whole family. Each day the progress that had been made was explained to us, as well as what the plan for the following day would be. Despite this we still could not believe they managed to get the conversion done in just 2 weeks! Ray was quick to consult with us if there was a particular decision to made, allowing us to add our own personal touch to the conversion. He also went above and

plus. Can't believe in less than 3 weeks we have our dream conversion complete. I done a lot of research before contacting ray and soon realized I knew very little until I spoke to him. I contacted at least another 5 people at the same time as ray and let's say with his first message back he superseded everyone else who got back to me. He spent alot of his own time chatting, emailing all the info and coming to see the house on a couple of occasions. Both Ray and Logan are superb and professional tradesmen - they are in with some of the most professional people

I contacted Ray for advise and I quickly received a reply with the information that I needed. When I decided to check that my attic was suitable Ray visited and checked the attic and gave me options and he was able to plan out what would be best for my house layout. When Ray & Logan began the work they were fantastic. They told me what they were planning to do and each day we could see the difference and the horrible dingy attic space was transformed into a fab bright room with eaves storage in 11 working days. The attention to detail is amazing, even offering to fit a velux blind made everything

Excellent service and very professional. Ray is a very honest and genuine guy! I had an attic conversion completed during the summer holidays (with kids running about!), Ray and Logan worked like troopers to complete the work on time and were amazing with the kids the conversion was carried out almost 2 years ago and I havent had any issues with the work carried out as it is all done to very high standards. The extra room has been great for my family. I would highly recommend Ray and his company.

Fantastic work by Ray and Logan to give two of our boys a partitioned bedroom in the attic. Rays communication is excellent, requests for bespoke detailing are happily accommodated and he makes the whole process straightforward from initial enquiry to completion, with minimal disruption to family life and home working.

From the first time we talked to Ray we knew we wanted him to complete our attic conversion. He was friendly and so knowledgeable. We even went on holiday during some of the time Ray was completing the job. The daily updates on Facebook kept us informed of how the project was going. We were so delighted with how the room turned out. We recommend Ray to anyone thinking of getting their attic converters, even if it is just to chat to him about options.
