Loft & Garage Conversions
Unlock potential by converting lofts or garages into valuable living spaces like bedrooms or offices.
If you need more space but don't want to extend your footprint, a conversion is often the perfect solution. Lofts and garages are frequently underutilized spaces that can be transformed into beautiful, functional rooms.
**Loft Conversions:**
Turning your attic into a habitable room is one of the best ways to add value to your home. Whether it's a simple Velux conversion or a full Dormer extension, our partners can help you navigate planning permission and structural requirements.
**Garage Conversions:**
For many, the garage is just a dumping ground for clutter. Converting it into a playroom, home office, or downstairs bedroom is a cost-effective way to gain extra living space without major structural work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my loft suitable for a conversion?
Most lofts can be converted, but you need a minimum head height of 2.2 meters at the highest point. Our builders can conduct a survey to check if your roof structure and head height are suitable for a conversion.
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Garage conversions are often classed as Permitted Development, provided you aren't enlarging the building. However, you may need permission if you live in a conservation area or if your property has restrictions on removing parking. Building regulations approval is always required.
What are the main types of loft conversions?
The most common types are Velux (roof light) conversions, Dormer conversions (extending the roof to add headroom), and Hip-to-Gable conversions (changing a sloping side roof to a vertical wall). Dormer conversions are very popular in Teesside for maximizing space.
Will a conversion add value to my home?
Yes, adding an extra bedroom and bathroom through a loft conversion can add up to 20% to your property's value. Garage conversions also add value by increasing the usable living floor space.
