Loft Conversions in the UK Tailored for Modern Family Living
Sometimes you are short of space and relocating is not the best option, in which case, a conversion of your loft to use it as an extension will be a clever idea to boost your living space without physically changing the dimensions of your house. A professionally run loft conversion transforms the attic space into a useful and valuable asset of your house that you may use as an additional bedroom, a home office, a playroom, and so on.
At SD Builders, we are experts in high-quality loft conversion services throughout the UK. Our designers, as well as builders, make sure that the work is well designed, finished with quality, and meets all the building standards.
What is the Rationale of Loft Conversion?
The installation of a loft conversion in the UK is among the least expensive options that offer space and value addition to your house. It utilizes a space which is already there and is usually not used well, and makes the space liveable and comfortable.
Loft conversions are adopted by homeowners to:
Install an additional bedroom, home office, or ensuite bathroom
Prevent the expenses and inconvenience of house relocation
Utilise land impact in order to maximise property value
Develop an individual, expandable living room for growing families
Regardless of whether you want to conduct a small-scale loft conversion or a bigger multi-room system, our team can design a system that suits your lifestyle and type of property with SD Builders.
Types of Loft Conversions We Offer
Not every loft is the same, which is why we offer a range of tailored solutions based on your roof structure, space availability, and planning conditions.
Our services include:
Dormer Loft Conversion – Adds vertical walls and windows for maximum usable floor space.
Velux Loft Conversion – Ideal for lofts with ample height, using skylight windows without altering the roofline.
Hip to Gable Conversion – Converts a sloping roof into a vertical wall to open up headroom.
Mansard Loft Conversion – Extensive structural change offering the most space; suitable for larger projects.
We assess your loft during the consultation phase to determine the best type of conversion for your needs and budget
Is Your Loft Suitable for Conversion?
Before starting your project, it’s essential to confirm that your loft has enough head height, structural strength, and access potential. As a trusted loft conversion company, SD Builders performs a full site inspection to evaluate:
Roof height and pitch
Type of roof structure (trussed or traditional)
Floor load capacity
Accessibility and potential for stair installation
Natural light options and ventilation
If your loft meets the key criteria, we’ll create a plan that makes the most of the space while meeting all safety and design requirements.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
In most cases, loft conversions fall under permitted development rights and don’t require full planning permission. However, if your project involves significant alterations to the roof or affects neighbours, approval may be needed.
We handle all the technicalities, including:
Navigating local authority planning requirements
Ensuring full compliance with UK Building Regulations
Coordinating structural engineering reports
Obtaining completion certification on your behalf
At SD Builders, we ensure that your conversion is not only well-designed but also fully approved and safe.
How Much Does a Loft Conversion Cost in the UK?
The cost of a loft conversion depends on several factors, including size, type, complexity, and materials used. As a general guide:
Small loft conversions (e.g. Velux style): from £20,000
Dormer conversions: from £30,000
Hip-to-gable or Mansard conversions: from £40,000+
We offer fixed, transparent quotations after assessing your property and discussing your goals. Every project is tailored to fit your budget and expectations.

Had this company come out to give a quote on an office removal and it was genuinely one of the best quotes they were honest and efficient plus they cleaned afterwards which goes a long way. Professional packers and movers in London.

Shah and Ahmed were brilliant. Shah took all the things where they needed to go and even offered to put legs back on the dining table.
Maria also dealt with me being really scatterbrained while getting the quote sorted fantastically.
