Our Process

CONTACT US

Thinking about a loft conversion? Here’s how we take you from spider-dodging in the attic to relaxing in your beautiful new space.

In 9 steps.

1. Getting Started

It all begins with a conversation.
You’ve checked your loft is at least 2.3m high — perfect. Now, just drop us a message or call us on 01923 972949. We’ll send you a short form and arrange a callback to discuss your ideas, answer questions, and book your initial survey.

2. Initial Survey & Estimate

We assess your loft and walk you through what’s possible.
During our first visit, we’ll survey your loft and explain the scope of the project. We provide a verbal estimate there and then, and within two weeks you’ll receive a detailed written quote. We’ll also arrange a call to go through everything with you.

3. Design & Planning

From rough ideas to solid plans.
When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll:

  • Invoice your deposit

  • Book our architect to carry out a measured survey

  • Draft detailed drawings for your approval

Once you’re happy with the plans, we’ll submit them to the
local authority.

⏱️ Approval time can vary but is usually around 8 weeks under permitted development.

4. Scheduling the Build

Locking in the details.
With final drawings and engineering calculations in hand, we:

  • Prepare your final fixed estimate

  • Confirm your project start date

We keep communication open at every stage so you always know what’s happening and when.

5. On-Site Construction Begins

The transformation starts here.
We notify building control and erect scaffolding. The existing roof covering is removed (tiles reused where possible), and steel beams are lifted into place by crane. Then we begin constructing the timber frame of your loft — floor joists, framing, and new roof structure.


⏱️ This stage usually takes 2–5 weeks, depending on the complexity of the build.

6. First Fix & Core Services

Getting the essentials in place.
With the structure in place, we install all the crucial internal services:

  • Electrical wiring

  • Plumbing pipework

  • Ventilation and insulation
    We also begin cladding the roof to make the structure watertight. This is a critical phase, and we’ll consult with you closely on layout, socket placement, lighting, and more.

7. Staircase Installation

Time to connect your new space.
We install the staircase, providing safe, easy access to the loft from your main home. This is a key turning point — no more clambering up scaffolding! Once stairs are in, you’ll really begin to see how the space fits into your home.

8. Finishing Touches

It all starts coming together.
We move into the final construction phase:

  • Plasterboarding and plastering

  • Second fix carpentry — doors, skirting, architraves

  • Plumbing and electrics — radiators, lights, switches, sockets
    After this, we’ll go through a detailed snagging list with you to ensure every small detail is just right.

9. Handover & Aftercare

Ready to move in.
Once any final tweaks are done, we hand over your finished loft conversion — clean, complete, and ready to enjoy. We don’t just walk away: we check in 6 months after handover to fix any snags, and we’re always happy to help with aftercare questions and support.

We pride ourselves on open communication, quality craftsmanship, and happy clients. Just check our reviews!

We provide Quality On Time, On Budget.
