Converting the loft is one of the most cost-effective ways to add extra living space to a home. New rooms within the roof can benefit from sunlight for much of the day, make the most of any views, and can have tremendous character due to the interesting roof shape.
At the top of the house the roof space can be the ideal location for a new master bedroom, a home office, playroom or even a self-contained annexe, but the new rooms can be suitable for almost any residential use you can think of, providing you comply with the Building Regulations.
Unlike most extensions, a loft conversion adds extra living space to your home without building over the garden. The only sacrifice is the space required to accommodate access via a new staircase.
A project typically takes four to six weeks to complete and it is usually possible to continue living in your home whilst the loft is being converted.
