Dormer loft conversions for maximum usability

Dormer loft conversions are one of the most popular ways to turn roof space into a genuinely liveable room. By extending out from the roof slope, a dormer increases headroom and improves the layout possibilities.

We design dormers to suit the property—balancing proportions, window placement and external appearance—so the conversion feels considered rather than bolted on.

Most dormers require careful structural and fire-safety design. We manage Building Regulations compliance and advise on whether planning permission is needed. If you are exploring your options, you can request a fixed-price quotation or browse recent work in our projects gallery.

What a dormer can achieve

Dormers unlock practical layouts and comfortable ceiling heights.

  • More headroom across the main usable area.
  • Space for larger bedrooms, bathrooms or home offices.
  • Better window positions for light and ventilation.
  • Flexible layouts with better furniture placement.
  • Strong long-term value when finished to a high standard.

How we deliver your dormer

We confirm feasibility and design, then detail the structure, insulation and fire-protection requirements. Once approvals are in place, we proceed with a managed build and clear communication.

We work across East Molesey, West Molesey, Hampton Court, Kingston upon Thames, Esher, Surbiton, Elmbridge and surrounding Surrey & South West London.

See examples of our approach in the projects section.

  • Typically the best balance of cost and space gained.
  • Creates a room that feels like a true extension of the home.
  • Works well on many roof types in Surrey and SW London.
  • Supports adding bathrooms and storage more easily.
