Loft Conversions
Transform unused roof space into beautiful bedrooms, offices, and living areas, all types of loft conversion built to the highest standards across Stockport and Cheshire.
Make the Most of the Space You Already Have
Your loft is the largest untapped space in your home. A loft conversion adds a fully usable room, or rooms, without sacrificing any garden space, and typically adds 20% or more to your property's value.
Which Loft Conversion is Right for You?
The best type depends on your roof structure, budget, and how much space you need. We build all four main types.
Velux / Rooflight Conversion
The simplest and most affordable type. No changes to the roof structure, just the addition of Velux roof windows, insulation, staircase, and internal fit-out. Best for lofts with existing head height.
Dormer Conversion
A box-shaped extension built out from the roof slope, creating full-height headroom and significantly more usable floor area. The most popular type in the UK. Learn more
Hip-to-Gable Conversion
The sloping side wall (hip) is rebuilt vertically to create a gable end, increasing internal space. Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum room area. Ideal for semi-detached and detached houses.
Mansard Conversion
The rear roof slope is almost entirely rebuilt at a near-vertical 72· angle with a flat roof on top. Creates the largest possible loft space. Almost always requires planning permission.
Is Your Loft Suitable?
Not every loft can be converted, but most can. Here's what we assess during our free site survey:
Minimum 2.2m from floor joist to ridge. If it's close, a dormer or mansard can solve it.
Traditional cut timber roofs are easiest. Trussed roofs can be converted but require more structural work.
We need space for a permanent staircase, usually positioned above the existing stairwell.
Conservation areas, listed buildings, and flats have additional restrictions we check upfront.

Loft Conversion FAQs
Everything you need to know about converting your loft.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
Yes, a well-designed loft conversion typically adds 20 to 25% to a property's value. In the Stockport and Cheshire area, this can equate to £40,000-£80,000+ of added value on a typical family home, usually exceeding the cost of the conversion itself.
Can I stay in my home during the conversion?
Yes. Most of the structural work is done externally from scaffolding. Internal disruption is mainly during the staircase installation and fit-out stages. We plan the work to minimise impact on your daily life.
What can I use a converted loft for?
The most common uses are an extra bedroom (often with en-suite), a home office, a children's playroom, or a guest suite. Some clients create a full master suite with walk-in wardrobe and luxury bathroom. The space is yours to design.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
If your loft conversion involves work on or near a shared wall (semi-detached or terraced houses), you'll likely need a Party Wall Agreement with your neighbour. We guide you through this process as part of our service.
What about insulation and energy efficiency?
All our loft conversions exceed current Building Regulation insulation requirements. We use high-performance insulation in walls, roof, and floor, ensuring your new rooms are warm in winter, cool in summer, and energy efficient year-round.
