Typical duration

A dormer loft conversion extends vertically from the existing roof slope, creating a box-shaped structure with vertical walls and a flat or pitched roof. This is the most popular conversion type for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, delivering significant headroom and floor space that transforms an unusable loft into a full room.

The price range above covers the full project — including your structural engineer, all building materials, labour, and building regulations sign-off. We provide fully itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What Affects the Cost?

Loft Size

Floor area and ridge height directly affect material and labour costs. Larger lofts cost more but add proportionally more value.

Roof Pitch

Steeper pitches provide more natural headroom and are generally cheaper to convert. Shallow pitches may require more structural work.

Structural Work

Some conversions require steel beams, new joists, or party wall agreements. These add cost but are included in our fixed-price quotes.

Specification

The quality of windows, insulation, flooring, and fixtures affects the final price. We offer a full range of specification levels.

Planning

Most conversions fall under Permitted Development. Conservation areas or Article 4 zones may need a planning application (typically £200–£500 in fees).

Location

London and South East properties typically fall at the upper end of price ranges due to higher labour costs.
