When shopping for a home in London’s expensive real estate market, you might not have the budget to afford the size you want. In that circumstance, undertaking a home renovation is one viable possibility to consider for gaining more living space. For this reason and more, loft conversions are a popular option among London homeowners.
Creating useful and beautiful living space in a loft increases your home’s value while giving you a practical solution for more livable area. At GO BIG PROJECTS LTD, we specialise in all types of options for converting lofts. Learn more about how we can help as your trusted specialist.
A loft conversion is a construction project that transforms a small upper portion of a house into livable space. When considering this type of work, you’ll usually be converting a loft that isn’t currently usable for living space.
Many functional rooms are possible with a loft conversion, including:
Because residential real estate is at a premium throughout London, expanding a home’s footprint along the ground isn’t always possible. For example, if you live in a terraced house, such a design doesn’t allow ground-level expansion. Adding living space inside a loft through a construction project is a better option.
Partnering with a trusted loft conversion company that has a proven track record of success will help make your loft dreams come true. At GO BIG PROJECTS LTD, we listen to your ideas and goals for the loft and then find a way to make them a reality through a safe and secure construction process.
Expect the following benefits when converting the loft in your London home.
The biggest and most obvious benefit is maximising the living space you have in your home. If your current loft is only good for storing a few cardboard boxes and little else, conversion is the answer.
Whether you want to add another bedroom, a bathroom, or a spot for the kids to play, this process gives you more usable rooms within a few months.
When performing a loft conversion, your needs are paramount. Working with our team at GO BIG PROJECTS LTD means we can customise the project down to the most exacting detail. We give you the freedom to choose what features and rooms we build in your loft.
If your house feels cold in winter or incurs high energy costs for heating and cooling, we can add insulation during the construction process. If you’d like to include other energy-efficient features in the new living space, let us incorporate whatever you want.
Many lofts are dark and have limited natural light. When we build you a new one, we’ll bring in as much natural light as you’d like to see. If you already have a tall loft, your renovation might focus on adding windows and skylights.
Loft conversions are a cost-effective option for gaining more livable space. The construction process of redoing the roof and adding headroom is often cheaper than building from the ground up. If you are thinking about moving to a new home to gain more room, remodeling the loft might be a better financial deal compared to the hassle and expense of a full-on relocation.
In addition, expanding the amount of livable space in the loft can increase your property value. By the time you choose to sell the home, you will likely recoup much of the cost of the construction project.
Not every greater London area home is a candidate for loft conversion. However, our team will work hard to make your plan fit within local regulations.
For example, if your house is in a conservation area, we may need planning permission to complete the project. Our design must abide by guidelines that preserve the character of the house. We will work with the local planning authority on your behalf to make sure the project is a success.
The construction portion and design must match the criteria for building control, which maintains health and safety standards for construction projects throughout London. We guarantee that all our work will comply with these regulations.
The loft area must be a certain size to qualify for conversion. In London, the distance from the floor to the peak of the loft must be at least 2.2 metres. However, if your home’s loft doesn’t meet this requirement, our designers may be able to find a workaround that makes the project viable.
The design our professionals will suggest largely depends on the current shape of your house and roof. Our experts attempt to give you a style that maximises the living space while matching your home’s design. Options include:

Generally, you do not need planning permission to undertake a loft conversion. This type of job often falls under the homeowner’s purview, as it typically does not involve dramatic enough modifications. However, if you do need planning permission, our team will handle it.
On average, a loft conversion costs between £50,000 and £80,000. However, certain designs that are highly complex can cost in excess of £100,000.
A modern inside dormer loft conversion project has a cost starting at about £60,000. Bearing in mind the complexity of the project, some jobs like this in London can cost £100,000 or more.
Because residential real estate space is at a premium in London, converting the loft adds value to your house. Adding an extra bedroom or bathroom should always boost property value.
In London’s tight real estate market, this kind of project can add significant value to your home. Estimates for the increased value range from 15% to 25%.
Loft conversions take up to 12 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the project. Our structural engineer will deliver a specific timeline for your project.
A hip-to-gable loft conversion involves replacing a sloping roof end with a vertical wall. It is a smart project to tackle because it adds living space and increases headroom in the area.
A Mansard loft conversion significantly alters the slope of the roof on the house, flattening it to create usable living space underneath. This is a great way to take steps to add a bedroom.
A VELUX loft conversion adds VELUX windows, also known as skylights, to the roof. This brings natural light into the loft, making the loft better able to function as living space.
A loft dormer conversion involves adding a box-like structure that extends through the roof. This design creates extra living space and headroom in a loft that has an angled roof.
Ensuite loft conversions involve adding a bathroom to the loft area, even if it has a sloping roof. Adding a bathroom to your home can significantly increase the value if you ever decide to sell.
