Move or Improve?
Nearly all lofts can be converted as long as there is sufficient head height of 2.4m (8ft) from your existing ceiling to the highest point (i.e the apex of the roof). To transform your loft into your ideal living space, it may be necessary to move or rearrange roof trusses, water tanks and sometimes even chimneystacks. So even if your loft looks like it lacks potential, contact me to discuss your options. You would be surprised what we can do.

ALTERNATIVE CONVERSIONS
Even if your loft can be converted it may not always be suitable or big enough to create your dream living space. This is why many of our customers have opted for garage conversions or home renovations. We may be able to change or improve the layout of your existing rooms to maximise your space potential. You may want a bigger kitchen, lounge or dining area, an additional guest or child’s bedroom. Whether your dream living space is upstairs or downstairs, we have the conversion for you.
