A loft conversion changes your roof. Dormers alter the roof structure; roof windows require openings and trimming. That roofing knowledge matters as much as the internal fit-out.
Projects that may need planning permission, building regulations approval or structural design are assessed first. We coordinate with appropriately qualified designers and approval bodies where required rather than claiming those qualifications ourselves.

Loft and dormer conversions: common questions
Is my loft suitable?
Head height, roof pitch and structure decide this. An assessment visit gives an initial view, followed by proper design.
Do dormers need planning permission?
Some fall under permitted development, others need permission. Check with your local planning authority.
Can you repair an existing dormer?
Yes, including flat roofs, cladding and leadwork.
