How Much Does a Loft Conversion Cost?

2024-09-01

A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add space to a home in Greater Manchester. The final cost depends on the type of conversion, the size of the roof space, the structural work required and the level of finish. The simplest option is a Velux conversion, where rooflights are added to the existing slope. Dormer and hip-to-gable conversions are more complex but add significantly more usable floor area. A mansard conversion is usually the most expensive but can create a full additional storey. Other factors include the condition of the existing roof, whether the floor needs strengthening, how the stairs will be positioned and whether you are adding an ensuite or bathroom. Building regulation and planning costs also affect the budget. At Joseph Thomas Group we provide a detailed, itemised quotation once we have surveyed the property and understood the design.
