Thank you Good Design & Build…
“Originally, we’d planned on this being a property to rent out to others. Since the loft conversion, we’ve fallen back in love with the place – and have now decided to move back here.”

My wife and I would like to say a huge thank you
“My wife and I would like to say a huge thank you to all the team at Good Design & Build. From the planning stage all the way through to completion they were meticulous with their design and helping us achieve our vision of our dream family home. We were supported all the way through, even when we wanted to make significant structural changes during the build. We are over the moon with the results achieved and quality of the building work and finishing is excellent. THANK YOU GOOD DESIGN & BUILD!!”

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Amol
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Amol and the Good Design & Build team on our recent house extension. We've been so happy with how the team helped design, plan and deliver the extension. Always very patient and informative of how the process will run, the team did a fantastic job and we're delighted with the results. The biggest compliment I can give them is that I'd happily work with Amol and the team again :).”

- Hip-to-gable extension – £1,500 – £2,500 per square metre
- Change of roof structure – £1,350 – £1,550 per square metre
Generally loft conversions fall under permitted development and you do not need planning permission. Although this may not apply to certain properties that are in conservation area or the loft conversion needing to raise the ridge height. You can find more information here.
Not at all. The old water tank can be decommissioned by our qualified plumbers. Chimney can either be boarded out or totally removed to create more floor space depending on your requirement.
You can easily check this if you have loft access hatch and ladder. Try and measure the distance from top of your first floor ceiling joists to the underside of loft ridge timber. You need minimum 2.5M to achieve the floor to ceiling height of 2M which is minimum requirement. If your loft height falls short of 2.5M, you my need to drop the first floor ceilings to achieve minimum height.
It normally takes approx. 8-10 weeks to complete a loft conversion depending on the type and size.
If your property is suitable for a dormer loft conversion and you are in the need of extra space in the house, you should definitely consider the loft conversion. It is the most economical way to maximise the potential of your property and create more space without having to move.
Loft conversion is the best way to add value to your property. Recent research carried out by the Nationwide Building Society has stated that a loft conversion could add up to 20% to the value of your home. If your property is valued at £500,000, that’s a whopping increase of up to £100,000!
Simply put – YES. Lot conversion is cheaper and less disruptive as compared to an extension which involves foundation, brickwork, etc. Loft project usually requires a steel and timber construction which is quick and economical.
