Loft Conversions in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

It’s a well-known fact in the building trade that a quality loft conversion is one of the best ways to boost your property's market value, often by as much as 20%. But it’s not just about the numbers on a valuation; it’s about how you live in your home. Imagine finally having that master suite with a private en-suite, or a dedicated hobby room where you can actually leave your projects out. Because we’re local to the Cotswolds, we understand the local market and the types of properties found here, from Victorian terraces to modern detached homes. We handle the heavy lifting, from structural steel RSJs to the final coat of paint, so you can focus on how you’re going to decorate your new space.

Not every loft is the same, and the right solution depends on your roof's pitch and your budget. If you're looking for the most space, a Dormer conversion is usually the winner, as it creates a vertical wall and a flat roof to give you proper head height and floor area. If you’re lucky enough to have plenty of height already (typically 2.2m is the magic number), a Velux or rooflight conversion is a fantastic, cost-effective way to flood the room with natural light without changing the roofline. For those with a hipped roof, we can often carry out a Hip-to-Gable conversion to straighten that side wall and maximise your internal volume. We'll walk you through the options during our first visit and help you decide what's best for your specific property.

Working in Cirencester and the wider Gloucestershire area means we’re often dealing with beautiful period properties and strict conservation areas. If you live in a Regency townhouse or a cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds, you might be worried about planning permission. The good news is that many loft conversions fall under Permitted Development, meaning you don't always need full planning consent. However, we always ensure every project strictly adheres to Building Regulations. This covers everything from fire safety and insulation to the structural integrity of your new floor. We work closely with local authorities and building inspectors to make sure your project is signed off correctly, giving you total peace of mind for the future.

What sets us apart from high-volume conversion companies is our background in bespoke carpentry. We don't just 'fit' rooms; we craft them. One of the biggest challenges in any loft project is the staircase—it needs to look like a natural extension of your original hallway, not a clunky afterthought. We take pride in matching spindles, handrails, and wood finishes perfectly. We’re also experts at finding clever ways to use every inch of space, such as building custom eaves storage or handmade fitted wardrobes into those awkward slanted corners. It's these second-fix joinery details that turn a standard attic conversion into a premium living space.
