Bespoke loft conversions in Rochester, designed and built by our own in-house team. One fixed price, a ten-year guarantee, and a free design survey on your doorstep.
Rochester is mostly historic and period housing, with conservation areas around the old high street, 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 Kent, so we know what these roofs allow before we get the tape measure out.
Rochester has a protected historic core with conservation area coverage and listed buildings, so planning needs handling carefully.
Rochester has significant conservation area coverage around the historic centre and the cathedral, alongside more ordinary interwar and post-war stock further out.
Within the historic areas the design has to keep the visible roof intact and work at the rear, and a full application is normal. Outside them, the suburban semis behave like any other interwar stock and usually fall under permitted development.
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 Rochester, and it can add up to twenty percent to your property's value.
Given the housing in Rochester, 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 →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 →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 →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 →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 Rochester homes are mostly historic and period housing, with conservation areas around the old high street, most conversions here are dormer or velux builds, which sit in the middle to upper part of that range. You can see indicative ranges on our costs page.

Applications in Rochester go to Medway 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.
