What it involves

Loft & Barn Conversions

Space that already exists, made into rooms worth having.

  • Loft conversions
  • Barn conversions
  1. 01

    The stair comes first

    A loft conversion is only as good as the way up to it. The staircase is worked out first, with the headroom it needs, so it lands where the landing can take it.

  2. 02

    The roof, made into a room

    Floor joists, insulation and the roof structure are dealt with as one job, so the room is warm, quiet and solid underfoot.

  3. 03

    Barns kept honest

    In a barn conversion the old frame is part of the point. It’s repaired and kept on show where it can be, with the new work fitted to it.

How a job runs

  1. Measure

    Understanding the house

    A conversation about what you want to do, then a look at the building itself: what it is and what it will actually allow.

  2. Align

    A proposal, before anything moves

    Scope, sequence and cost, set out in writing and without obligation, so the job is agreed on paper before it’s agreed on site.

  3. Construct

    The build

    Work is arranged and carried out in the agreed order, with the structural stages done properly before anything gets covered up.

  4. Fit

    The finish

    The last stage is the one that shows. Scribes, mitres and the details that decide whether a room reads as made or assembled.
