Loft Conversions in Wimbledon & South West London

Every loft is different: the size and height of the roof, the type of conversion, the structure, the staircase and the finishes you choose all shape the cost. Your written, itemised quote shows where each pound goes.

Many lofts can be built under permitted development, within set size limits. Flats, homes in conservation areas, dormers facing the street and lofts beyond those limits usually need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We work alongside your architect on the application and build to the approved drawings.

Design and approvals come first. Once we start on site, a loft usually takes around three months, depending on its type and size. Your quote includes an estimated programme.

Hiring an architect for a loft conversion can be beneficial, especially for complex projects. An architect can help in maximising the potential of your space, ensuring the design meets your needs, and navigating planning permissions and building regulations. They can also provide innovative solutions and oversee the project to ensure quality, making their services a valuable investment for more intricate conversions.

Most lofts in terraced and semi-detached homes involve the shared wall, so your neighbours receive notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. It’s one of the first things we look at in your home, and we work alongside your party wall surveyor.

Usually, yes. Much of the work happens from the scaffold and the roof, and the new staircase joins the house late in the build. Your stairs and landing stay protected, and the house stays clean and calm.

We coordinate the drawings and the structural engineer for you, or work alongside your own architect if you have one. Design is in DSB8’s roots, so every drawing is read with an eye for proportion and detail.
