From the initial consultation through to the final finishing touches, our experienced team will guide you through every stage of the project.
Types of Loft Conversions
Choosing the right type of loft conversion depends on your property's roof structure, available loft space and your requirements. We'll explain the options available and recommend the solution that best suits your home.
- Velux Conversion - A Velux loft conversion works within the existing roof structure, making it one of the most cost-effective options. By installing roof windows, natural light floods the space without requiring major structural alterations.
- Hip to Gable Conversion - Ideal for many semi-detached and end-of-terrace properties, this type of conversion extends the sloping roof to create additional headroom and a larger, more practical living space.
- Dormer Loft Conversion - One of the most popular options, a dormer conversion extends vertically from the existing roof to maximise floor space and improve head height, making it ideal for larger bedrooms or family living areas.
- Pitched Roof Dormer Conversion - A pitched roof dormer offers a more traditional appearance while increasing usable space. This option is often well suited to period properties or homes where maintaining the existing character is important.
How Much Does a Loft Conversion Cost?
The cost of a loft conversion varies depending on the type of loft conversion, the size of your property and the level of internal finish required.
Factors that can affect the overall cost include:
- Structural alterations
- Bathrooms or plumbing installations
- Bespoke storage solutions
- Roof design
- Planning requirements
Following an initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed quotation tailored to your project.
Our Loft Conversion Process
We aim to make every project as straightforward as possible by managing the entire process from start to finish.
Our typical process includes:
- Initial consultation and site visit
- Design and layout planning
- Advice on planning permissions and permitted development
- Structural calculations where required
- Construction and installation
- Final finishing and handover
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Loft Conversion in Sussex?
Many loft conversions can be completed under permitted development, meaning formal planning permission may not be required. This will depend on the size and design of your project, as well as your property's location.
Planning permission may be required if:
- Your property is within a conservation area
- The proposed conversion exceeds permitted development limits
- Previous extensions have affected your permitted development rights
- Significant alterations are required to the existing roof
Every property is different, so we'll assess your home and advise whether planning permission is needed before work begins. Where required, we can guide you through the application process and help ensure everything is prepared correctly.
Information is based on current Planning Portal guidance. Requirements may vary depending on your property and local authority.

The best type of loft conversion depends on your property's roof structure, available loft space and how you want to use the room. During our initial consultation, we'll assess your home and recommend the most suitable option, whether that's a Velux, dormer, hip to gable or pitched roof dormer conversion.
Most loft conversions are completed within six to ten weeks, although larger or more complex projects may take longer. We'll provide a clear project schedule before work begins and keep you informed throughout the build.
A well-designed loft conversion can increase both your living space and the value of your property. While the amount varies depending on the property and location, additional bedrooms and usable living space are often attractive to future buyers.
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development and don't require planning permission. However, larger projects or properties in conservation areas may need approval. We'll advise you on the requirements for your property and help with the planning process if needed.
Yes. Loft conversions must comply with current Building Regulations to ensure they are structurally sound, safe and energy efficient. We manage this process as part of our start-to-finish service.
