The simplest and most cost-effective option, transforming unused attic space with skylights to create a light-filled home office or bedroom.

Headroom is a key factor, but there are several solutions we can explore, including lowering the ceilings in the rooms below, subject to feasibility and regulations. To find out what is possible with your existing roof structure, please contact BlackLeaf Build for an on-site assessment.
The extent of structural change depends on the type of conversion. For example, a Dormer involves more alteration than a simple Velux conversion. To understand the structural changes required for your desired outcome, please contact BlackLeaf Build to discuss the design.
Many loft conversions can be completed under Permitted Development rights, but this depends on the size and location of the extension. We will confirm the necessary permissions before any work begins. For clarity on the planning requirements for your specific property, please contact BlackLeaf Build for advice.
