We know the housing stock in and around Twickenham inside out – and we have long experience of working with the local Planning regulations.

Loft conversions are having a resurgence in popularity. Today’s loft conversions are sophisticated solutions to the need for more space without moving home. And because you expand your home upwards, there is no need to sacrifice important space in the garden. A loft conversion is a great way to add extra accommodation to your home; a loft conversion meets a practical need and adds value for the future when the time comes to sell.

We always listen carefully to what you want, and set out our recommendations clearly. We’ll guide you through the stages of creating a loft conversion. We’ll help you with your Planning Application if necessary, or help secure confirmation that your work comes within Permitted Development Rights . We will be with you all the way to signing off against Building Regulations. 

What is the cost of a loft conversion in Twickenham?

The size of your home, the type of conversion you want, the condition of the existing roof, and the purpose of your loft conversion – all these will affect the cost of loft conversions in Twickenham.

The details of the agreed design will be important. A dormer loft conversion will usually be the most economic. But each conversion is unique and none are genuinely average. There are, of course, some common factors. Also remember that costs are not just for the cost of construction. You should also consider 

• architectural designs, plans and specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• the application for Planning Permission or for a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations inspections and approval.

For a Twickenham loft conversion, a straightforward dormer loft conversion may cost in the region of £30,000. More typically you should expect to pay a total of £40,000 to £65,000 depending on size and specifications. For example, a new master bedroom suite will be a more complex undertaking that a simple home office or extra bedrooms.
