What types of loft conversions do we offer in Sittingbourne?
In order to make the most of your loft space, we can carry out any type of loft conversion to suit your requirements. Some of the most popular types that we can build for customers in Sittingbourne include:
Dormer loft
conversions
conversions
Often the most popular choice for a loft conversion, storage space and living space can be greatly increased if you opt for a dormer for your Sittingbourne home as their design allows for higher ceilings and more headroom. This option will be a more suitable choice than others for 2-bedroom loft conversions. Stairs can be added easily and an additional bathroom is often included to add extra functionality to your home.
Hip to gable loft
conversions
A more favoured choice for an end of terrace or semi-detached loft conversion, hip to gable conversions are carried out by converting the sloping side of your roof to a vertical wall so that there is enough space for a new bedroom, office, or whatever you wish to use your loft for.
Rooflight loft
conversions
conversions
The most cost-effective option if you are looking to make use of your loft, this type of conversion involves installing rooflights and utilises the space you already have, so there is no extension required to your roof structure. As little construction is required for a rooflight conversion, a project of this type can be completed in a significantly shorter amount of time than other conversions.

What is the loft conversion process in Sittingbourne?
To keep your loft conversion project on track and deliver a perfect new space for your home, we follow a specific process that involves multiple steps:
Initial quote
If you have decided on a suitable loft conversion from your home, we will send one of our loft conversion specialists to visit your property, assess your loft space and put together a quote for the work that is required. You can expect to receive this within 72 hours, but for larger projects we will keep you up to date as your quote is being finalised. We will discuss the details of the contract with you so that we can make sure you are happy to go ahead.
Construction begins
Our highly trained team of experts will arrive promptly at your home to begin the construction of your new loft conversion. We manage the process from start to finish, with regular visits carried out by our senior project manager, making it easy for you to track the progression of your new loft.
Quality check
Once the process of converting your loft is complete, this is not the end of our service. We will check over every aspect of the project to ensure that it has been carried out to the highest standard, and our team will not finish work at your property until you are completely happy with your new space.
Do you need to apply for loft conversion planning permission in Sittingbourne?
If you are wondering whether you will need to submit a planning permission application before getting started with your loft conversion project, this will depend on the type of project. Permitted development allows you as a homeowner to build a loft conversion with up to 50m³ of additional volume for a detached or semi-detached house, or 40m³ for a terraced loft conversion. If your plan goes above these specified measurements, you will need to submit a planning application. This will also be the case if the work is taking place on a flat or maisonette, or in a protected area. You do not need permission from your neighbours, although you will need a loft conversion party wall agreement in place with them. We recommend you consult an architect before proceeding with your plans.
What loft conversion building regulations do you need to be aware of in Sittingbourne?
Before any building work can begin on your loft, you will need to obtain building regulations approval to make sure that the project will comply with all health and safety protocols that are in place. An inspection of your plans must be carried out by a local authority or building control officer, where they will check the project meets standards such as the minimum height for loft conversions, which is 2.2 metres. Other safety aspects that are checked include insulation, fire regulations, staircase design, plumbing, and heating.
Our advice
Once you have decided on the right loft conversion to maximise this space, you should choose a reliable builder who has a reputation for their high standard of work. You should look at their reviews and experience before deciding if they are right for you. Read our tips for choosing a builder.
