Transforming your loft into a functional space
Loft conversions are a brilliant way to add extra space to your home without the hassle of moving. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a home office, or a playroom, converting your loft can provide the perfect solution. According to a recent survey, loft conversions can increase your property value by up to 20%, making it a smart investment.
Our expert builders and architects at The Midland Loft Co have transformed countless lofts into stunning, functional spaces. With our 50 years of loft conversion experience, we can help you make the most of your loft space, ensuring it meets your needs and complements your home’s style.
Choosing the right loft conversion style
There are several types of loft conversions to choose from, each with its own benefits. Dormer loft conversions are popular for their added headroom and natural light. Velux loft conversions, on the other hand, are ideal for homes with high roofs and don’t require planning permission.
Bungalow loft conversions are another great option, providing additional living space without altering the exterior of your home. Our talented Stafford based team can help you decide which style is best for your home and budget, ensuring a seamless and stress-free process.
Planning permission and regulations
Before starting your loft conversion project, it’s essential to understand the planning permission and regulations involved. Most loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you won’t need planning permission. However, there are exceptions, such as if your home is in a conservation area or if you’re making significant structural changes.
Our team at The Midland Loft Co can guide you through the planning process, ensuring all necessary permissions are obtained. We’ll also ensure your loft conversion complies with building regulations, covering aspects like fire safety, insulation, and structural integrity.
Designing your dream loft
Designing your loft conversion is an exciting part of the process. From choosing the layout to selecting materials and finishes, there are endless possibilities. Our talented team will work closely with you to create a design that reflects your style and meets your needs.
Consider incorporating built-in storage solutions to maximise space and keep your loft clutter-free. Skylights and large windows can flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Our expertise and experience in loft conversions ensure your dream loft becomes a reality.
Cost considerations and budgeting
Loft conversion costs can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. On average, a basic loft conversion in the UK costs between £20,000 and £40,000. However, more complex conversions, such as dormer or mansard lofts, can cost upwards of £50,000.
It’s essential to set a realistic budget and factor in additional costs, such as planning permission fees, building regulations approval, and any unforeseen expenses. Our team at The Midland Loft Co can provide a detailed cost estimate and help you plan your budget effectively.
Finding the right loft conversion company
Choosing the right loft conversion company is crucial for a successful project. Look for a company with a proven track record, positive reviews, and a portfolio of completed projects.

Energy-efficient loft conversions
Energy efficiency is an important consideration for any loft conversion. Proper insulation can help reduce energy bills and create a comfortable living space. Our team at The Midland Loft Co can advise on the best insulation materials and techniques to ensure your loft conversion is energy-efficient.
Consider installing energy-efficient windows and doors to further improve insulation and reduce heat loss. Solar panels can also be a great addition, providing a sustainable energy source for your home.

Once your loft conversion is complete, it’s time to make the most of your new space. Whether you’ve created a cosy bedroom, a stylish home office, or a fun playroom, there are plenty of ways to personalise and enjoy your new loft.
