Want to put your cobwebby loft space to good use? Need more room for your growing family or for visiting relatives to stay? Then it’s time to start planning your quality loft conversion.

With living space at a premium, it’s no wonder that many homeowners in Richmond are choosing to convert their loft space to gain that all important extra bedroom and lovely en suite bathroom. The possibilities are endless: with the incorporation of a dormer and clever configurations with the roof and supporting structures, it is surprising at how much extra room you can gain from your loft space.

Upgrading your attic from a dusty storage for your old photos and a place to stash the suitcases, to a bright and inviting addition to your home couldn’t be simpler. In the space of 8 to 12 weeks (and with minimal disruption) your house can gain that loft extension you’ve been longing for. All is takes is some thought and careful planning and you are off!

Don't move. Extend in style

We can save you the hassle that comes with moving not to mention the heavy stamp duty! Adding an extra loft bedroom or enlarging the living kitchen dining space on ground floor is an economical way of transforming your home to suit growing needs. The projects can range from £40-100K depending on your requirements and can be completed within 8-16 weeks.

The teams of experienced designers, planners, surveyors and architects at Good Design and Build have brought design and flair to countless loft conversions across Richmond. You can benefit from all of this expertise in one place. We will guide you through the process from an initial free consultation, to provisional drawings then through all of the necessary approvals. Detailed costings and sound, friendly advice is all part of the service too.

Oftentimes (if you haven’t extended your home already) a decent sized quality loft conversion in the Borough of Richmond, can be built under permitted development. This ruling allows homeowners to design and build an extension into their loft space providing it is sympathetic to the local street scene and observes sensible size requirements. Whilst the build is underway, independent building control inspectors will visit at all crucial points to ensure that the highest construction standards are maintained. At Good Design and Build we will guide you through all of these relevant requirements to ensure that your project meets all legislative, design, environmental and building requirements. You will be in the safest hands. Once all of the relevant approvals are in place and you are good to go, it’s time for the all important build.

You will have one dedicated and highly experienced team of qualified builders working on your loft conversion. They will work continually at your property until your loft conversion is completed. You will get an exemplary finish on both the interior and behind the scenes with the highest quality insulation and modern high spec building materials. You can rest assured that quality is at front and centre of all that we do. Our teams have worked in and around Richmond for many years and are experts in what makes the homes in Richmond so special and highly desirable.

Obviously choices viz a viz glazing, flooring and bathrooms as well as the other finishes will impact on the final price, but as a guide you will look to spend in the region of:

  • Velux window conversion from £25-30K.
  • Basic dormer loft conversion from £38K.
  • Larger properties or hip to gable loft conversions from £45K-£55K.
  • L shape loft conversions range between £58K-£65K.

At Good Design and Build we appreciate your trust in using our services and guarantee that we will use your budget to the best effect to ensure you get the very best result for your outlay. The other good news is that when it comes time to sell your property, a loft conversion in Richmond has been reported by the Nationwide Building Society as adding up to 20% to your house value.

All in, it’s a win win. Better living now. Sound financial choice for the future.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
