Welcome to the world of loft conversions in Kingston Upon Thames—where the sky (literally) is the limit when it comes to creating extra space, adding value, and making your home work smarter, not harder.

Whether you’ve got a growing family, a work-from-home setup that’s currently fighting for kitchen table space, or just want your own personal sanctuary in the clouds—a loft conversion could be the perfect solution.

Why a Loft Conversion?

If you live in Kingston Upon Thames, chances are your home has untapped potential hiding just above your head. A well-executed loft conversion can:

✅ Add up to 20% to your home’s value
✅ Provide a spacious extra bedroom, home office, gym, or chill-out zone
✅ Save you the hassle and cost of moving (because let’s be honest—Kingston is too good to leave)

What Makes Kingston Ideal for Loft Conversions?

This leafy, historic borough is filled with gorgeous Victorian, Edwardian, and 1930s homes—many of which were built with large, unused roof spaces just waiting to be transformed.

Here’s why loft conversions in Kingston Upon Thames are so popular:

• Ample roof height in period homes makes conversions easier and more cost-effective
• Strong property values make investing in your home a smart move
• Planning permission often isn’t required (under Permitted Development rules)
• Space is at a premium—why move out when you can build up?

Types of Loft Conversions We Build

We offer a full range of loft conversion types to suit every home and budget:

Dormer Loft Conversion

The most popular type. Adds a box-shaped extension to your roof, creating flat ceilings and loads of usable space. Great for bedrooms with en-suites.

Velux (Rooflight) Loft Conversion

The simplest and most cost-effective option. Keeps your existing roof structure, adds skylights, insulation, and finishes to create a cosy, natural-light-filled space.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Ideal for semi-detached homes with sloped sides. Extends the sloping side wall to create more internal space and headroom.

Mansard Loft Conversion

The most dramatic transformation—usually at the rear of the property with a flat roof and steeply sloping walls. Ideal for maxing out space and style.

Do I Need Planning Permission?

In many cases, no! Most loft conversions in Kingston fall under permitted development rights, as long as you stay within certain size and design limits.

However, there are exceptions:

• If your home is in a conservation area (hello, North Kingston or parts of Surbiton)
• If your loft project alters the roofline significantly
• If you live in a flat or maisonette (which don’t have PD rights)

The good news? We will guide you through the planning application, drawings, and approvals—so you don’t have to worry.
