The figures above are typical all-in costs. I also work labour-only if you’re supplying the materials — often the best-value route if you can manage the supply yourself. Either way, I read the structural and architectural drawings together first, so the steel, the stairs and the services don’t fight each other on site.

Common questions.

How much does a loft conversion cost in South London?
As a rough guide, a rooflight loft starts around £30,000, a dormer £45,000–£70,000, and a mansard £70,000 and up. The real figure depends on head height, the stairs, whether you add an en-suite, and the finish. Get a site visit for an accurate number.
Do I need planning permission?
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, but dormers at the front, mansards and conservation areas often need permission. I’ll tell you which applies on the first visit.
How long does it take?
Most loft conversions run 6–10 weeks on site, depending on the type and whether there’s an en-suite.
