The detail

What is an L-shape loft conversion?

An L-shape combines two structures, typically a dormer on the main roof and a second over the rear addition, so they meet to form an L in plan. That combination gives you the most floor space of any loft conversion, which is why period and Victorian homes with a back addition suit it so well.

It is the conversion to choose when one room is not enough. An L-shape routinely delivers two bedrooms and a bathroom, or a large principal suite with a dressing area, all designed and built by our own team from first survey to final sign-off.

What it costs

What a L-shape conversion costs.

No two roofs are the same, so treat the range as a starting point rather than a price. The survey is free and the written price that follows it is fixed.

L-Shape loft conversions

Your questions, answered.

Which homes suit an L-shape?

Homes with a rear addition or back extension, most often Victorian and Edwardian terraces. We confirm your property is suitable on the free survey.

How many rooms can I get?

An L-shape typically gives two bedrooms and a bathroom, or a large principal suite with a dressing area. We design the layout around your needs.

Does it need planning permission?

Larger conversions like an L-shape more often need a planning application, which we prepare and manage for you along with the structural drawings.

How long does an L-shape take?

It is a larger build than a single dormer but still a matter of weeks. We agree the timeline at survey and keep you updated throughout.
