Loft Conversions
Redhill, Oxted, Banstead, Reigate, West Sussex and all locations in Surrey.
Many lofts can be transformed into habitable or usable space. An additional bedroom, or maybe an extra bathroom or a new office for working at home, could be accommodated by choosing Whitley Builders for loft conversions. Whatever your objective, a conversion can provide the extra space needed to make living more comfortable without you having to move out of a home.
We can convert lofts in the following areas:
- Banstead
- Oxted
- Reigate
- Surrey
- West Sussex
James, our business owner will talk through what you are looking to achieve and discuss what the options are for the space available and the format of your loft. It may be that a full conversion is possible with your roof structure, or that some adaptations may be required. We can work with architects and structural engineers to achieve your desired results and outcomes.
Indicators of whether a roof may be suitable for loft conversions include:
- A pitched-roofing structure
- A gable-ended roof
- No planning constraints in the local area
During our initial consultation with you, Whitley Builders will assess suitability for one of our conversions and advise you on the most practical style. You can choose to have a loft converted as a standalone project or, if you have a home renovation planned where the purpose is to gain habitable space for a growing family, we can factor the required work into our written quotation.
Loft Conversion Styles
With loft conversions, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Style choices usually come down to the property type and, of course, how much money you wish to spend. The roofing structures of homes in Banstead, Oxted and Reigate, and those across Surrey, also influence the build. Another key consideration is planning permission, although loft conversions which stay within local authority parameters should fall inside permitted development.
Conversion styles include:
- Single Dormer Conversion
- Full Dormer Conversion
- Mansard Loft Conversion
- Hip-to-Gable Conversion
- L-Shaped Loft Conversion
Whitley Builders can convert detached, semi-detached and terraced builds in addition to bungalows, all of which are undertaken in-house using our own personnel but with the support of subcontractors as needed. All external trades brought to a loft conversion project have been screened and vetted.
The Benefits of Loft Conversions
Compared to new home builds and property extensions, loft conversions are far less disruptive and much of the initial work takes place through the roof. This means your home’s interior won’t be at the behest of our builders and tradespeople for a moment longer than is necessary. We only enter homes deeper into a project to apply the all-important finishing touches, and to fit additional features such as loft ladders or staircases to enable safe access.
Loft conversions provide the customer with a series of end-user benefits:
Affordable Investment
Compared to having an extension built or moving home, a loft conversion is a budget-friendly choice with sensible project turnaround times guaranteed.
Added Home Resale Value
Did you know that loft conversions add to a home’s value so that if a client ever decides to sell, the project could eventually end up paying for itself?
No Need to Relocate
A conversion gives your growing family the extra living space it needs without expense, stress and hassle, nor having to pack and move into a new home.
More Habitable Space
With integrated storage and modified headspace, conversions add spacious areas to Surrey homes, helping to alleviate clutter so you can live more freely.
Natural Light and Better Views
Rooflights flood loft conversions with natural light while a rear-facing dormer is an excellent choice if you want to enjoy a view of the world around you.
