Full-width loft transformation for a Victorian terrace in Wimbledon

This Wimbledon terrace needed a major space upgrade without compromising the existing layout. The homeowners wanted a proper master suite rather than a tight loft room, with strong storage, good daylight and a calm finish. We delivered a mansard loft conversion to maximise usable floor area and create a genuinely spacious new storey.

With neighbouring properties close by, we supported the client through party wall requirements and coordinated approvals via planning permission. The build included structural works, a new staircase, upgraded insulation and careful fire safety detailing, with sign-off managed through Building Regulations.

What we did

Mansards require careful sequencing and strong site management. We agreed key dates early and maintained high standards across structure and finishing.

  • Design development for a full-width new storey and storage plan.
  • Planning coordination and neighbour considerations.
  • Party wall support and programme planning around close boundaries.
  • Structural works, new stairs, insulation and fire safety measures.
  • Second fix, bespoke storage, ensuite and final decoration.

"The team were organised and respectful throughout, which mattered a lot on a terrace. The final suite feels like a boutique hotel room and has made the whole house work better."
