Choose a Battersea Loft Conversion Specialist

The well-linked southwest London district of Battersea is one of our favourite residential areas. From its power station to its notable residents, it is never uninteresting. However dignified the postcode is, what ultimately matters is a home that can comfortably accommodate your whole family. When your house doesn’t have enough space, it impedes a happy home life. Moving is not only exasperating but expensive. And, more people wish they can just add a room or two to their property instead of moving. Our bespoke loft conversions Battersea solve your home’s space problem with zero worries. You are not only increasing property proportions but also increasing its value. With 12 years of experience in home improvement and remodelling, we have at our disposal the flair for innovative space generation.

Loft extensions fall under Permitted Development rules, which means you do not need planning permission. However, if;

Your home is in a designated area or is listed
You are planning to exceed the volume allowance of 40 cubic metres of additional roof space for a terraced house or the 50 cubic metres of volume allowance for detached and semi-detached homes
The loft structure is higher than the highest part of the roof
The new addition features balconies, verandas, or raised platforms
Roof enlargement overhangs the outer face of the existing house
Building materials are not similar in appearance to the original house
You need approval from relevant authorities to carry out building work.

Building regulations indicate that you need;

Sufficient structural strength for the new floor
Stability of the existing roof
A safe fire escape
A safe staircase to the new space
Proper insulation between the loft conversion and the rooms below
A Lawful Development Certificate, even in instances when you do not need planning permission, will provide you with official confirmation that you have no legal restrictions to build.

Our expertise in period home conversions does not just extend to professional designs or construction. We also undertake all application submissions related to the process, including planning permission, building control, Thames Water Build Agreement, Party Wall Agreements, method statements, and plans. We ensure that you have nothing to stress about on the admin side. It is why we also provide you with a full-time project manager who will manage everyday works and quality standards. Good Design & Build offers two separate contracts for conversions in Battersea, so you will be committed to only one at a time, giving you the freedom to opt-out before construction starts.

Velux – it is the most cost-effective loft conversion to choose if your budget does not stretch as far as a Dormer conversion. The roof does not go through any structural alterations except fixing of Velux roof windows. These let in natural light, and you can open them for ventilation. With a roof window balcony, you have more space to enjoy views.

Dormer – the standard dormer is a relatively straightforward affair. The box-shaped structure extends out of a pitched roof at a 90 degrees angle. Flat roof dormers and Shed roof dormers are the most common ones. Hipped roof dormers and Gable fronted dormers have more intricate roof styles.

L-Shaped Dormer – this creates a large additional space, ideally for Victorian terraced or semi-detached properties. The structure shaped like the letter L has two flat roof dormers connecting in a corner. The bigger end is built on to the main roof, while the smaller end is at the rear of the property. You get two rooms with this addition that you can turn into an en suite, two bedrooms, or an open plan living area.

Mansard – usually found at the rear of the property, sometimes in double, it adds substantial space to your property. Transformation takes place along an entire plane of a sloping roof to convert it to an almost vertical side.

Hip to Gable – this replaces a hipped side of the roof with a gable end. It allows your loft space to have increased head height and floor space. If your house has two sloping sides, a double Hip to Gable conversion becomes possible.

A Velux loft conversion starts around £25,000

A Dormer loft conversion will cost you from £35,00 upwards

The cost for a Mansard will begin at £45,000

A Hip to Gable loft conversion costs £40,000 and upwards

An L-Shaped loft conversion cost starts from £45,000

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.
