Loft Conversions in Enfield

Divi Design – specialists in loft conversions

Divi Design are Architectural Designers and Planning Specialists. We have considerable experience of working with local Planning officers in Enfield and the surrounding districts. We know the area well, with many loft conversions completed  in Enfield and nearby, and many happy clients.

Loft conversions in Enfield are increasingly popular. They’re a great way to add another room or rooms to your home  – without moving house, or using up valuable space in the garden. Also, loft conversions add value when the time comes to sell.

We listen carefully to every client, so we’ll properly understand what you want. We’ll guide you through the process of creating a loft conversion. We’ll work with you from early ideas to detailed drawings and 3D images; we’ll help with your Planning Applications (or confirmation of your Permitted Development Rights) all the way to final Building Regulations inspection. 

What is the cost of a loft conversion in Enfield?

The cost of loft conversions is influenced by many factors. The size of the property, the condition of the roof, and the type of windows you want, for example, all affect the cost.

Much depends on the simplicity or otherwise of the chosen design. Dormer window loft conversions are usually the most economic. The purpose of the loft conversion is relevant too; a straightforward bedroom or home office will cost less to complete than a bathroom, and your chosen materials and decor will affect the cost too. 

Naturally, every project is unique but there elements common to most loft conversions.  Costs include more than the price of construction work and you should also factor in  

• architectural drawings, designs & specifications
• depending on the extent of the work, advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development or Planning Permission
• Building Regulations / Building Control inspection and approval.

Few projects are truly average. With careful preparation and the right advice, however, you may be able to achieve a lower than average cost for the size of conversion you want. A simple dormer loft conversion may cost about £30,000, but usually you should expect to pay a total of £40,000 to £65,000,  depending on size and details of the project.
