Loft Conversions

Loft Conversions in London

A loft conversion is one of the smartest ways to gain extra space without changing postcode. If you’re planning loft conversions in London, Decorators Builders delivers well-planned, well-managed projects that add practical living space with a finish that feels like it has always been part of the home.

Loft work needs tight planning: structure, insulation, access, fire safety considerations and clean integration with the floor below. We focus on clear scope, tidy site management and proper sequencing so the conversion progresses smoothly and the final result feels cohesive.


Loft conversion types we build

The best loft conversion depends on your roof shape, head height, property type and what you want to create.

Dormer loft conversions

A dormer loft conversion is one of the most popular options because it creates usable headroom and improves layout flexibility.

Common uses:

  • Extra bedroom with en-suite
  • Home office and guest room
  • Additional storage and better circulation

Mansard loft conversions

A mansard loft conversion typically creates a large amount of space and is often chosen where a bigger floor area is the goal (subject to suitability and approvals).

Hip-to-gable loft conversions

A hip-to-gable loft conversion can be suitable for certain property types where converting the sloped side of the roof helps unlock a more practical layout.

Rooflight loft conversions

A rooflight loft conversion may work where existing head height is suitable and the goal is a simpler conversion with minimal external changes.

If you already have drawings, we can quote from plans. If you are early stage, we can help you sense-check options and what is most practical for your property.


What’s included in a loft conversion build

Loft conversions typically involve a combination of structural work and internal finishing. Depending on the project scope, this can include:

  • Structural alterations and strengthening where required
  • New floor structure and safe access planning
  • Insulation and ventilation for comfort and performance
  • Stairs installation and internal partitions
  • Windows/rooflights and weatherproofing
  • Electrical and plumbing coordination where required
  • Plastering, carpentry, decoration and making good
  • Snagging and final finishing

The goal is a loft that feels like a natural extension of the home—not a separate “converted space”.


Loft conversions with bathrooms (en-suites)

Many clients want an en-suite or additional bathroom in the loft. This is often achievable depending on layout and services. We plan:

  • Plumbing routes and practical service runs
  • Ventilation and moisture control
  • Waterproofing and tiling preparation
  • A clean finish that matches the rest of the home

Working while you live in the property

Many loft conversions can be completed while you remain in the home. We plan protection and sequence works to reduce disruption where possible. We will advise honestly on what to expect based on access, scope and programme.
