01 / The Work

Conversions, restorations,
roof-space transformations.

Most lofts are wasted space — insulation rolls, abandoned boxes, and a hatch nobody opens. Loft Restore turns them into bedrooms, studies, master suites, and playrooms — or, where the property warrants it, restores the original roof space sympathetically.

  • Full loft conversions. Bedrooms, en-suites, studies, master suites — everything from concept through to last coat of paint.
  • Dormer additions. Front, rear, side — adding headroom and floor area where the original pitch doesn't allow.
  • Hip-to-gable. Common on semi-detached and end-terrace properties — converts a hipped roof to a gable for usable loft volume.
  • Mansard. The most floor-area-efficient conversion, common on Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
  • Period restoration. Sensitive restoration of older roof spaces — period-appropriate timber, slate, and detailing.
  • Insulation upgrades. Building-regs-compliant insulation packages, often combined with conversion work.

Survey to sign-off Loft Restore process
02 / The Process

Survey to
sign-off.

A loft conversion touches structural engineering, planning, building control, fire safety, insulation, and at least four different trades. Loft Restore handles all of it under one roof — literally.

  • Initial survey. Free site visit to assess feasibility — pitch, headroom, structure, access — and discuss what's possible.
  • Structural assessment. Coordination with a structural engineer for steel sizing and load calculations.
  • Design. Drawings that work for the way you'd actually live in the space — not the way it would look on a render.
  • Planning permission. Permitted development application or full planning, handled in-house, including conservation area liaison where needed.
  • Building control. Inspections at each stage, with our own inspector relationships smoothing the process.
  • Build & sign-off. Construction, snagging, completion certificate, energy compliance — all the paperwork closed before we leave.

03 / The Homes

For homes of
any age.

A 1930s suburban semi has nothing in common with a Victorian terrace and even less with a 2010 new-build. Loft Restore works across the spectrum, with the right detailing for the right property.

  • Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Mansards, dormers, and rooflights — sensitive to original detailing where it matters.
  • 1930s suburban. Hip-to-gable conversions, dormers, and headroom-led layouts.
  • Post-war semis and bungalows. Often the best candidates for full conversions — straightforward roof structure, generous footprints.
  • Modern new-builds. Truss-roof properties where the original loft is unusable — converted with careful structural work.
  • Listed buildings. Where consent allows — sympathetic, conservation-officer-coordinated work, with no shortcuts.
  • Conservation areas. Permitted development limits navigated, planning applications submitted with the right supporting documents.

04 / The Team

One team.
One project.

Most loft conversions go wrong at the trade handover — the carpenter blames the roofer, the electrician blames the plasterer, and the homeowner ends up coordinating it all. Loft Restore runs the trades in-house, so the handovers are managed and the buck stops in one place.

  • Structural carpentry. The trade that defines whether a loft conversion is solid — handled by people who do it every week.
  • Roofing. Slate, tile, leadwork, flashings — period and modern, weathertight and warrantied.
  • Electrical & plumbing. Certified trades for the regs-compliant elements, coordinated to the build schedule.
  • Plastering & finishing. The bit that determines whether the space looks built or fitted-out.
  • Project manager. One contact for the whole project. Knows the trades, the schedule, and your phone number.
  • Building control liaison. Pre-existing relationships with local building control officers — smoother inspections, faster sign-off.
