Bespoke Loft Conversions
in Cheltenham & Gloucestershire
Expertly crafted living spaces designed to add value and character to your home.

Every roof is different, and what works for a semi-detached house in Leckhampton might not be the best fit for a Regency townhouse near Montpellier. Most of our clients opt for a Dormer conversion because it's the most effective way to gain proper head height and usable floor space. It literally squares off the roof, giving you a room that feels like a 'proper' part of the house. If you're on a tighter budget or don't need the extra height, a Velux or Rooflight conversion is a fantastic, light-filled option that usually falls under Permitted Development. For those with a hipped roof that slopes on three sides, a Hip-to-Gable conversion can be a total game-changer, straightening that side wall to maximise every square inch of internal volume. Not sure which one fits? We can take a look at your rafters and give you an honest steer on what's possible.

Living in Gloucestershire comes with plenty of perks, but it also means dealing with some unique building challenges. If you're in one of Cheltenham's many conservation areas or own a period property, you'll know that the local planning office can be quite particular. We've spent years working alongside Cheltenham Borough Council and local architects to ensure our builds respect the character of the area. We handle the technical side of things—from ensuring the RSJs (structural steels) are perfectly placed to meeting those all-important Building Regulations. We make sure your new space isn't just beautiful, but safe, energy-efficient, and fully signed off, so you have total peace of mind when it eventually comes time to sell.

There’s a big difference between a volume building firm and a team of dedicated carpenters. Because we're craftsmen at heart, we don't just 'chuck up' some plasterboard and call it a day. We're obsessed with the details that make a room feel integrated. Think about your new staircase—does it look like an afterthought, or does it seamlessly match the original spindles and handrails of your home? What about that awkward space under the roof slope? We specialise in creating bespoke eaves storage and handmade fitted wardrobes that turn 'dead space' into the most useful cupboards in the house. From the structural 'first fix' timbers to the delicate 'second fix' joinery, we treat your home with the respect it deserves, keeping the site tidy and the disruption to your daily routine as low as possible.

Ready to stop dreaming about that extra space and actually start building it? We're a local Gloucestershire team through and through, serving Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, and everywhere in between. We don't believe in 'guesstimates' or hidden extras that appear halfway through the job. When you invite us over, we'll talk through your ideas, check your head height, and provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly where you stand. Whether it’s a simple rooflight conversion or a complex structural overhaul, you'll get the same level of care and expert carpentry that DP Carpentry and Building LTD is known for.
