Consulting local professionals who understand your area’s building regulations and architectural styles is important. Choosing a reputable building company specialising in home renovations will ensure your extension seamlessly blends in with your existing property.
For homes with limited outdoor space, loft conversions are a practical alternative. They transform unused lofts into functional rooms, like bedrooms, offices, or play areas. Popular options include dormer and hip-to-gable conversions, which modify the roof’s structure to create additional headroom and usable space. This approach often avoids the need for planning permission, but it may require structural alterations.

We also offer garage and basement conversions should these better suit your needs.
