The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -
Dormer loft conversions are a favourite in Harrow, especially for semi-detached and detached houses. By building out from the back of the roof, a dormer gives you extra headroom and practical floor space, so your loft can become a real living area instead of just a place for storage. This type of conversion works really well in Harrow’s 1930s homes, where lofts tend to be wide but don’t have enough height. Best for: 1930s semis, detached homes, and properties that require additional head height and practical floor space.
Many homes in Harrow have hipped roofs, which means the roof slopes in on one side. With a hip-to-gable loft conversion, that sloping part is built up into a straight wall, giving you more width and making the loft much more usable. If you add a rear dormer as well, you can really open up the loft, creating space for bigger bedrooms or a proper bathroom rather than a cramped room. Best suited for: Semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes in areas such as Kenton, South Harrow, and Rayners Lane, where roof space feels limited.
A Velux loft conversion, or roof light conversion, keeps your roof as it is. Instead of changing the shape, we fit roof windows to let in natural light, and upgrade the floor and insulation to make the space comfortable. In Harrow, this is a popular choice if your loft already has decent headroom or if you want a straightforward, budget-friendly option. Best for: Homes with adequate existing loft height, modest budgets, or situations where minimal external changes are preferred.
An L-shaped dormer loft conversion works best if your home already has a rear extension. We build one dormer on the main roof and another above the extension, joining them to make an 'L' shape. This layout gives you a roomy and flexible loft that can be split into several rooms, which is great for growing families in Harrow. Best for: Larger family homes with rear additions, particularly Victorian or extended properties, where multiple rooms are required.
A mansard loft conversion means rebuilding the back of the roof at a steep angle and adding a flat roof on top. It’s a bigger project, but it gives you the most internal space and a full-height room. In Harrow, people usually go for a mansard conversion if they have a bigger home or want to get as much floor space as possible, even if it means more planning and building work. Best for: Detached or larger period homes, properties on wider plots, and homeowners aiming for maximum internal space.
There are plenty of bungalows in Harrow, especially in quieter neighbourhoods, that are perfect for loft conversions. By converting the loft, you can add bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and keep the downstairs open for living and entertaining. With a good design, a bungalow loft conversion can give you a surprisingly spacious and comfortable upstairs. Best for: Single-storey homes where ground-floor space is already fully utilised and future flexibility is important.
