Loft conversions in Oxford and Oxfordshire

From the first survey to the last coat of paint, without handing you between trades.

A loft conversion adds a bedroom, office or living room without touching the garden. We handle the structure, the floor, insulation, heating, stairs, windows and the finish, so you deal with one team and one programme. The photos on this page are from a recent conversion where we laid an acoustic subfloor, installed underfloor heating, fitted timber flooring and kept the oak beams exposed.

Types of conversion

  • Roof-light (Velux) conversion, keeping the roofline as it is.
  • Rear dormer, for more head height and floor area.
  • Hip-to-gable conversions, where the roof allows; we advise at the site visit.
  • Repairs and re-fitting of existing dormers.

Questions

Questions we are often asked

How much does a loft conversion cost in Oxford?

It depends on the type of conversion and the finish. We quote after a site visit.

Is my loft suitable?

Most lofts with about 2.2 metres or more from the top of the ceiling joists to the ridge can be converted. We measure at the site visit.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not for a roof-light conversion or a rear dormer, but front dormers, conservation areas and flats often do. We will check at the site visit, and the council's planning team or your architect confirms it.

Will you need a structural engineer?

Yes, for the new floor and any steels. We work to their calculations.

Can you put underfloor heating in a loft?

Yes. We fitted it on the conversion shown on this page.
