Designed & Built by Happy Building
At Happy Building, we specialise in high-quality loft conversions that not only add space but also enhance the value and character of your home. Whether you’re dreaming of a new master bedroom, a light-filled home office, or a private guest suite, our expert team will work with you to bring that vision to life, on time and on budget.
If you’re running out of room but don’t want to sacrifice your garden space or embark on a full-scale extension, a loft conversion is the perfect solution. By transforming your underused attic into a functional and beautiful part of your home, you can dramatically increase your living space without changing your property’s footprint. It’s an ideal way to adapt your home to suit your growing needs, whether that’s accommodating a new family member or carving out a bit more breathing room.
A high-quality loft conversion doesn’t just improve your lifestyle, it also boosts your property’s market appeal. According to industry research, a well-executed loft conversion can add up to 20% to the value of your home, making it a smart long-term investment. Prospective buyers are often drawn to properties with flexible, well-designed spaces, and an extra bedroom or home office in the loft could give your home that extra edge in a competitive market.
Your loft has the potential to become so much more than just a dusty storage space. From bright and airy bedrooms to creative workspaces, peaceful reading nooks or even a self-contained guest suite, the possibilities are endless. One of the greatest advantages of a loft conversion is the ability to tailor the space to your lifestyle, routines, and personal style. It’s your opportunity to design something that not only looks great but works perfectly for how you live.
We provide a fully managed, end-to-end service, from initial planning through to final completion. With a single, experienced team handling everything, you’ll benefit from clear communication, careful coordination, and a stress-free experience from start to finish.
We assess the potential of your loft and guide you through the planning process, including permitted development or full planning permission where needed. We’ll also help you navigate any local authority requirements or building regulations, ensuring your project moves forward smoothly and legally.
Our in-house architects and designers work closely with you to create practical, elegant plans that maximise space and light. Every detail is considered, from head height and window placement to stair access and storage, to ensure your new space is as beautiful as it is functional.
We take care of every detail on site, structural works, plumbing, electrics, plastering, and finishing, while keeping disruption to a minimum. Your dedicated project manager will keep you informed throughout, ensuring timelines are met and quality is upheld at every stage of the build.
From bespoke joinery to flooring, lighting and décor, we help turn your loft into a truly liveable space that reflects your taste and needs. Whether you’re after a clean, modern finish or a cosy, character-filled room, we’ll ensure the final result feels like a seamless extension of your home.
No two homes are the same, and neither are our loft conversions. We design and build all major types of loft conversions to suit your property style, planning considerations, and personal requirements.
The most popular choice among homeowners, a dormer loft conversion extends vertically from the existing slope of the roof to create a box-shaped structure.
It offers excellent headroom, increased floor space, and flexibility in design, ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or home offices. Suitable for most property types, dormers are often the go-to option for maximising liveable space.
A mansard conversion involves raising the party wall and altering the roof’s angle to create a nearly vertical rear façade.
This type of conversion is particularly suited to period properties and townhouses, and is commonly favoured in conservation areas where maintaining the external appearance is crucial. Mansards offer generous space and architectural charm, making them ideal for multi-room layouts or luxurious master suites.
Perfect for semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes with hipped roofs, this conversion replaces the sloping side with a vertical gable wall to create additional internal volume.
Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum effect, hip-to-gable conversions provide a substantial improvement in headroom and usability, ideal for growing families or those needing more versatile space.
If your loft already has sufficient height and volume, a Velux conversion could be the simplest and most cost-effective option.
By installing rooflights into the existing slope, we can transform your attic into a bright and airy space without altering the roofline. It’s a low-disruption solution that works especially well in newer properties or where planning restrictions apply.
