Nestled along the Grand Union Canal with its famous Flight of 7 Locks, Hanwell offers a serene suburban lifestyle with plenty of charm. The leafy towpaths and parks such as the Brent Lodge Park and Hanwell Zoo make this area a great place for families. The town centre along Uxbridge Road adds vibrancy with its mix of casual dining spots, pubs and iconic landmarks such as the 1930s Hanwell Clock Tower.
If you’re finding space a little tight as your family grows, there’s no need to consider moving away from this charm and the convenience of this location. A loft conversion is the perfect way to add the extra room you need while retaining your place in this delightful community. Our experienced and skilled project management team at Good Design & Build are here to take you through every step of this process.

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 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!!”

A loft conversion is a process of transforming your unused loft space into a practical area like an additional bedroom, office, or even a cosy reading nook. This renovation allows you to maximise the potential of your existing property without the need for moving.
Several factors influence the cost of a loft conversion, including the size of your loft, the type of conversion (such as dormer or mansard), structural modifications and the level of interior finishes required. Additional elements like plumbing, insulation and skylights can also affect the total cost.
Most loft conversions in Hanwell do not require planning permission as they fall under permitted development rights. However, if your property is in a conservation area or involves significant structural changes, planning approval might be necessary. We can guide you through the process to ensure compliance with local regulations.
There are many different types of loft conversions. Some of the popular ones include;
Dormer – Adds additional headroom and usable space by extending outwards from the roof.
Hip-to-gable – Ideal for semi-detached or end-terrace properties, converting a sloped roof into a vertical wall.
Mansard – A stylish option that alters the roof structure to create maximum space and headroom.
Yes, a loft conversion can significantly increase the value of your Hanwell home. By adding extra bedrooms or functional spaces, you enhance its market appeal and boost its resale price.
It normally takes approx. 8-10 weeks to complete a loft conversion depending on the type and size.
Not at all. The old water tank can be decommissioned by our qualified plumbers. Chimneys can either be boarded out or removed to create more floor space, depending on your requirements.
You can easily check this if you have a loft access hatch and ladder. Try and measure the distance from the top of your first-floor ceiling joists to the underside of loft ridge timber. You need a minimum 2.5M to achieve the floor-to-ceiling height of 2M which is the minimum requirement. If your loft height falls short of 2.5M, you may need to drop the first-floor ceilings to achieve minimum height.
