We carry out loft conversions across West Sussex and Brighton & Hove. If you're looking for a builder to take on a loft conversion in Sussex — whether that's a rear dormer in Shoreham-by-Sea, a rooflight conversion in Worthing or an en-suite bedroom in a Brighton terrace — we manage the whole job with our own team, from structural work to the final decoration.
Loft conversion design and planning
We start by looking at your roof height, structure and stair position, then talk through layouts that suit how you live. Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, but some homes — flats, houses in conservation areas, or those with earlier extensions — need planning permission. We'll tell you early which applies and help you through it.
Building regulations and structural work
Every loft conversion needs building regulations approval covering structure, fire safety, insulation and the staircase. We fit the new floor joists and steel beams to the engineer's design, and work with building control inspectors at each stage so your sign-off certificate is ready at the end.
Dormer and roof conversions
A rear dormer is the most popular way to gain full standing height and floor space. Where a dormer isn't needed or allowed, a rooflight conversion keeps the roof line unchanged. We frame, felt, tile or clad the dormer to match your house.
Complete project management
Our team covers the structural work, insulation, staircase, plastering, electrics and plumbing, so you deal with one company rather than a string of trades. You get a clear written quote and a site that's left tidy every evening.

Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Often not — many houses can convert under permitted development. Flats, homes in conservation areas and houses that have already been extended may need permission. We'll check before you commit.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Most loft conversions take roughly 6 to 10 weeks on site, depending on size, whether there's a dormer, and whether a bathroom is included.
