Summary:

Our client wanted to maximise the unused roof space of their detached bungalow and transform it into a practical and spacious family home. The goal was to create two additional double bedrooms and a large shower room, turning the property into a modern four-bedroom home suitable for a growing family.

We worked on this spacious detached chalet bungalow located on a quiet residential road in Hardy Avenue, Ruislip. The property already had a generous footprint and a large loft area with excellent potential for conversion.
The homeowners were keen to increase living space without extending the property’s footprint. After assessing the structure, we proposed a rear dormer loft conversion to create a functional first floor while maintaining the character of the bungalow.
The new loft layout now includes:

  • Two spacious double bedrooms
  • A large family shower room
  • Improved circulation and natural light throughout the home

This transformation turned the property into a well-balanced four-bedroom family home.


The Challenge
Every loft conversion presents unique structural and design challenges. For this project, the key challenges included:

  • Designing a layout that maximised head height and usable floor area
  • Integrating the new staircase seamlessly into the existing layout
  • Maintaining the external appearance of the bungalow while adding a full new floor
  • Ensuring the new floor felt bright, spacious and connected to the rest of the home


Our Solution
We delivered a full rear dormer loft conversion that blended perfectly with the existing property.
Key works included:

  • Construction of a large rear dormer structure
  • Structural reinforcement of the roof and floor
  • Installation of a new staircase from the ground floor
  • Full insulation upgrade to meet building regulations
  • Plumbing and electrical installation for the new bathroom
  • High-quality interior finishing throughout
