Turn your unused loft into a beautiful extra bedroom, home office or playroom. We handle everything in-house, from design and structural calculations to building control and the final finish.
Welcome to The Loft Company
We specialise in high-quality loft conversions. With years of experience and a team of skilled professionals, we turn unused attic space into functional, stylish living space.
Whether you need an extra bedroom, a home office or a playroom for the children, we have the expertise to deliver exceptional results. Every project starts with a personal consultation to understand your needs, and our own team then handles design, approvals, construction and completion.
What we do
No juggling architects, engineers and builders. Our team works closely with you at every stage.
Our skilled team prepares your drawings, structural calculations and building control requirements. We also offer visual packages, including 2D and 3D designs and section and elevation views, so you can see your loft before it's built.
We check whether your loft falls under permitted development or needs planning permission, and we prepare and manage the paperwork. We also guide you through building control and party wall requirements.
We pride ourselves on top-quality craftsmanship backed by real industry knowledge. Our own specialists in carpentry, joinery, steel fabrication and mechanical work deliver a finish you can trust.

Final finishes, building control sign-off and a handover of a room you'll love.
Types of loft conversion
The best option depends on your roof shape, the head height and how much space you need. Here are the types we build most often.
Really maximises space and gives a completely different feel from any other type of loft room.
Suits certain properties, such as Victorian houses with a rear addition, and adds a significant amount of space.
Often used to increase head height in houses with a hipped roof, where the loft is reached under the hip.
The most cost-effective conversion, with very few changes to the roof. Windows are set into the existing roof slope, and the work includes insulation and floor strengthening.
One or more sloping hips are replaced with a vertical gable wall, and the roof is extended over it to add space with full headroom.

FAQs
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, so full planning permission isn't needed. Permitted development doesn't apply to flats or maisonettes, in conservation areas, or where those rights have been removed, and there are limits on volume and design. We check your property and handle a planning application or Lawful Development Certificate where one is needed.
Yes. Every loft conversion needs building regulations approval, covering structure, fire safety and escape, insulation and the new staircase. We prepare the drawings and structural calculations and manage building control through to the completion certificate.
It depends on the type and size of conversion. A roof-light conversion is the quickest; dormer and hip-to-gable conversions involve more structural work. We give you a clear programme for your project at the design stage.
Yes. A loft conversion adds usable floor space and an extra bedroom or living area, which typically increases a property's value. Across the London boroughs, the average increase is around 24.5%.
The main factors are head height, roof pitch, the roof structure and where the new staircase can go. As a rule of thumb, around 2.2 metres from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge is a good starting point. Many lower lofts can still be converted with a dormer or hip-to-gable design. We assess this at your free consultation.
If you live in a semi-detached or terraced house, the work will usually affect the shared wall, so you'll need to serve notice on your neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We explain the process and when it needs to happen.
