Dormer loft conversion: It is our company’s famous loft conversion among homeowners due to its easy installation and cost-effectiveness. It involves extending the existing roof to create more vertical space and adding a window on the pitched side of the roof.


Mansard loft conversion: Our mansard loft extension in Watford alters the structure of a sloped roof to almost vertical, with a flat roof over the top. Mansard conversions are more extensive than other types of loft conversions and require planning permission in most cases.


Roof light loft conversion: It is our cheapest loft conversion service, as there are no changes to the structure of the house. It only adds a window to the roof for ventilation and natural light, and requires other small changes such as floor refurbishment, stairs, electricity, and plumbing, if required.


Hip-to-gable loft conversion: Our hip-to-gable loft conversion is an ideal solution for semi-detached or end-of-terrace homes with hipped roofs. It will extend the sloping (hipped) side of the roof outwards and replace it with a vertical (gable) wall to create more internal loft space.
