Overview
More rooms, more value — without moving house.
A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to gain living space — turning dead roof void into a bedroom, bathroom or home office that adds genuine square footage and long-term value.
We handle the entire process in-house: structural design, planning or permitted development assessment, building regulations and construction. The result is a beautifully finished space that feels like a natural part of your home.
What We Build
Every type of loft conversion, expertly delivered.
Hip-to-Gable Conversions
Replace a sloping hip end with a vertical gable wall, dramatically increasing usable floor space.
Mansard Conversions
A near-vertical rear wall and flat roof create maximum headroom and a fully usable floor throughout.
Velux / Rooflight Conversions
The least intrusive option — rooflights fitted flush to the existing slope for a clean, minimal result.
L-Shaped Dormers
Two dormers combined at right angles to cover both the main roof and a rear return — ideal for Victorian terraces.
Master Suite Conversions
A bespoke loft designed as a full master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing area.
Why Claremont

Questions
Loft conversion FAQs.

As a general guide, you need at least 2.2–2.3m from the floor joists to the ridge to achieve a practical conversion. We check this at survey stage and advise on the best approach for your roof.
A typical dormer or Velux conversion takes around 6–10 weeks on site. More complex mansard or L-shaped dormers may take longer. We provide a clear programme before works begin.
Yes — in most cases you can remain in your home throughout. The main structural work takes place at roof level, minimising disruption to daily life below.
