Bespoke loft conversions in Dulwich, designed and built by our own in-house team. One fixed price, a ten-year guarantee, and a free design survey on your doorstep.
Dulwich is mostly Victorian and Georgian houses, a large share of them in conservation areas, and that is what decides which conversion your roof will take. We have spent over twenty-five years working on exactly this kind of property across London, so we know what these roofs allow before we get the tape measure out.
Dulwich has extensive conservation area coverage and the Dulwich Estate scheme of management applies to many properties, so expect a full application and a design that respects the street.
Dulwich is the one area in our patch where the planning position matters more than the roof. The Dulwich Estate scheme of management sits on top of the council process for a large number of properties, which means two separate approvals rather than one, and the Estate has its own view on materials and rooflines.
The houses themselves are generous. Victorian and Georgian stock with high ceilings and deep plans usually gives real head height in the loft, so the constraint is rarely whether it will work. It is what you are allowed to build and how it is finished.
Whether you need an extra bedroom, an en-suite or a home office, a loft conversion adds the space without the cost and upheaval of moving out of Dulwich, and it can add up to twenty percent to your property's value.
Given the housing in Dulwich, these are the conversions we build here most often. On your free survey we confirm exactly which one your roof allows.
The most popular conversion in London. A dormer extends out from your sloping roof to add full head height and real floor space, ideal for a terrace or a semi.
Explore dormer conversions →The largest conversion we build. Two dormers combined over the main roof and the rear addition, giving you the space for more than one room.
Explore l-shape conversions →The answer for homes with a sloping, hipped side roof. We build the hip up into a vertical gable wall, squaring off the roof and unlocking a full-size room.
Explore hip to gable conversions →Building the end wall of your home straight up to the roof ridge gives you a tall, square room with real presence, and the height for a striking window.
Explore gable conversions →Where a standard loft falls short on height, reshaping the roofline itself unlocks the headroom and floor space a plain conversion cannot reach.
Explore roofline conversions →Where your roof already has the height, a Velux conversion is the most cost-effective way to gain a bright new room, with roof windows set neatly into the existing slope.
Explore velux conversions →Planning a new build, or want the loft designed in from day one? We build the space in from the start, or convert an existing new-build roof into a proper room.
Explore new build conversions →It depends on the type of conversion and the shape of your roof. A Velux conversion, where the head height already exists, costs less than a full dormer or an L-shape that adds a whole floor of space. Because Dulwich homes are mostly Victorian and Georgian houses, a large share of them in conservation areas, most conversions here are dormer or l-shape builds, which sit in the middle to upper part of that range. You can see indicative ranges on our costs page.

Applications in Dulwich go to Southwark Council. Many conversions fall under permitted development, but flats, conservation areas and larger designs need full permission. We check what applies to your property on the survey and handle any application for you, along with the structural drawings and building control.
