  From the moment we spoke to Maggie, we felt The Loft Room was the right company for us. The whole admin team (Maggie, Melissa, Helen and Ciara) are warm and friendly, and super efficient.

Dave and Ashley (and Charlie) have done a fantastic job converting our loft. We have wholeheartedly trusted Dave’s expertise with him having completed 42 lofts previously. We are absolutely delighted with the results so far.  The tradespeople that have been over have been excellent: Mark and Kasper - the roofers, Stuart - electrician, Justin - plasterer, Dave - painter etc.

We did get some lower quotes from other companies, but we think there’s a strong case of ‘you get what you pay for’ with The Loft Room. The whole process was surprisingly smooth and unobtrusive - we just hadn’t expected that from a loft conversion. We would definitely recommend The Loft Company.

  Really happy with the finished loft conversion! The team was very friendly, professional, and respectful of our home throughout the project. While it took a little longer than initially expected, we put it down to the extreme heat of the summer we just had. The quality of the final build makes it well worth it—would recommend!

  We recently had a rear dormer completed by The Loft Room, which also involved lowering the ceilings throughout the first floor.

The efficiency and quality of the work carried out are the main reasons we’ve given five stars. We felt the administrative and communications side of the process could have been better, but ultimately the most important thing for us was the quality of the build, and in that respect we were extremely happy.

The team on site were excellent and always treated the house as our home rather than simply a building site. They were respectful, tidy and a pleasure to have around throughout the project.

Dragos has been a joy to work with and brought a huge amount of calm, experience and knowledge to the project. Lulian, on site, was the ultimate professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the quality of his workmanship was excellent.

Overall, we’re really pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Loft Room based on the quality of the work and the team we had on site.

  We are so happy with our new loft space and have been really impressed with The Loft Room from start to finish.

Communication throughout the project has been excellent. Marius and his team worked incredibly hard to meet deadlines while taking great care and pride in their work. Helen in the office, along with Marius, were always on hand to keep us updated on progress and talk us through the different choices and options available.

It was also really helpful having a clear contract in place detailing exactly what was included in the agreed costs. This made budgeting much easier and meant there were no unexpected or surprise costs along the way.

We can’t wait for the final touches to be completed so we can start enjoying our family’s new space. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work — we’re really happy with the result!

Highly recommend.

  We are delighted with our new loft conversion by The Loft Room. The whole process went incredibly smoothly, from the planning stage all the way through to decorating.

A huge thank you to Vio, who led the team on our project. Vio and the team’s hard work and dedication has transformed our house. Vio kept everything running on track, maintained a high standard of work, and was always a pleasure to deal with. He and his team treated our home with respect and made sure the details were done right. And also, a special mention to all in the office whose excellent communication kept us in the loop throughout.

We would heartily recommend The Loft Room to anyone looking to do a loft conversion. Thanks guys!

  We are delighted with our new loft space! Our team leader, Mihai, was fantastic and kept us informed about progress throughout. Everyone who came to work on the space was friendly and communicative, and gave us advice about what might work best.
Together, the team created a superb space with two bedrooms and a bathroom which are all spacious and finished to a very high standard. Mihai took time to make sure that everything was finished as we wanted it to be and went the extra mile to ensure downstairs where they had broken through was finished and integrated with the existing decor.
The office team at The Loft Room were very helpful in keeping us up to date and checking in to make sure that we were happy with how everything was going. It made such a difference using a company who do loft conversions day in day out as it meant that everything ran smoothly, the project was managed for us and the build ran to the time scale presented to us from the start.
We would highly recommend The Loft Room to anyone who is thinking about creating a new space.

  We honestly couldn't recommend The Loft Room highly enough.

Our relationship with them actually started around three years ago when they first came out to quote for our loft conversion. We weren't ready to go ahead at the time, but when we finally decided to push the button this year, The Loft Room were still the company we wanted to use – and we're incredibly pleased that we did.

This was a significant project, creating an entirely new top floor with two bedrooms and two en-suites, all while we continued living in the house as a large family.

From the very beginning, The Loft Room had a genuinely friendly, family-company feel. Everyone we dealt with seemed to care about the project and about making sure we were happy, and they were very conscious throughout that this wasn't just a building site – it was still our family home.

A very special mention has to go to Jamie and Jared, who carried out the build. They were absolutely fantastic. They worked incredibly hard, were friendly, considerate and easy to have around, and we built a really good relationship with them over the course of the project.

Jamie's workmanship and experience were obvious from the start. He constantly kept us involved, asked questions rather than making assumptions and made sure we were happy with how things were progressing. Communication was excellent throughout.

With any building project of this size there are inevitably going to be challenges, changes or occasional delays. For us, the important thing was how these were dealt with. Jamie was always upfront, explained what was happening and kept us updated, so there were never any nasty surprises. If something needed sorting, it was sorted.

That made a huge difference, particularly as I work from home and we were living through the entire build as a family. Jamie and Gared were incredibly respectful of that and did everything they could to minimise the disruption.

Most importantly, we absolutely love what they've created. Turning what was previously unused loft space into two fantastic bedrooms and two en-suites has completely transformed the house. The quality of the workmanship is excellent and, looking at the finished result, we feel we've had really good value for what was a major investment in our home.

It probably says everything about our experience that after months of having Jamie and Jared here every day, we actually miss having them around! I work from home, so it's genuinely strange not having the daily chats anymore.

A really positive experience from the first conversation three years ago right through to completion. We'd happily recommend The Loft Room to anyone considering a loft conversion.

A huge thank you to the whole team – and particularly Jamie and Jared – for everything you've done for us.

What type of loft conversion do I need?

The best loft type for your property will depend on various factors, including your budget, the available loft space, local planning regulations, and your specific needs. Reach out to one of our loft conversion specialists and we can help you determine the most suitable option and ensure that the conversion enhances both the functionality and value of your home.

Semi-detached and terraced victorian properties are highly popular in the Richmond area and they often utilise a Rear Dormer to add additional headroom and floor space. However this is not the only option, L-Shaped Dormer and Mansard Loft Conversions can do wonders for your home’s additional space.

Paul and his team converted the loft in our Victorian terrace around a year ago. They were all very Professional and courteous throughout the whole build process and we now have a wonderful loft bedroom with a very spacious en-suite finished to a very high standard. I would highly recommend them.

Coming from a construction background myself, I am particularly cautious over who I use on projects. The Loft Room didn’t let me down. They delivered on time and within budget. Were very polite and conscientious. Paul Gibbs has complete control over the team and we felt they always went the extra mile.

Mr James Holmes

The main basis for our selection was the fantastic references we’d received. Throughout the build they made every effort to minimise disruption. Paul’s attention to detail is unrivalled. He really cares about delivering the best results. Paul was highly approachable and communicative throughout. We would highly recommend The Loft Room.

FAQs: Richmond loft conversions

Can my loft in Richmond be converted?

Most lofts in Richmond can be converted, but it depends on a few key factors such as roof height, structure, and available space. Typically, you’ll need a minimum head height of around 2.2m for a practical conversion. We offer a free survey to assess your loft and advise on the best options—whether that’s a dormer, mansard, or Velux-style conversion.

How long will my loft conversion take?

A standard loft conversion usually takes between 8-10 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity and type of project. Larger or more bespoke designs may take slightly longer.

For a full breakdown of each stage, from design and approvals to construction and completion, please read our loft conversion process page.

Do you have any examples of your work?

Yes, we’ve worked on lots of loft conversions across Richmond and South West London. We have a number of projects from the surrounding South West Areas.

For example, Adam & Verity chose a Hip to Gable loft conversion in Kingston after moving into their new home and welcoming their second child. They wanted a calm, grown-up space away from the toys and everyday clutter, and their new loft gave them exactly that.

We also worked with Jack & Ashley in Kingston, who went for an L-shaped dormer loft conversion. Like many growing families on their street, they needed an extra bedroom, and the loft was the perfect way to create that additional space.

Another local loft conversion project was for Debs & David in Hampton. They loved their home and didn’t want to move, but needed more space, so we created a double hip to gable rear dormer loft conversion to add a new master bedroom and better separate their work and living areas.

Will the conversion fall under permitted development or will we need planning permission?

Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, meaning you won’t need full planning permission. However, this depends on factors such as roof alterations, volume limits, and property type.

If permission is required, we’ll guide you through the planning permission process and can support you with the application. You can also find more details on the Richmond local authority website.

Are there any conservation, heritage, or local planning constraints in Richmond or SW London that could affect timelines or increase costs?

Yes, there are 85 conservation areas in Richmond*, and many more across SW London are also designated conservation areas. These areas can place restrictions on external alterations, materials, and overall design.

If your property falls within one of these areas or is grade-listed, additional approvals may be required, which can impact both timelines and costs. We have extensive experience working within these constraints and will advise you early in the process to help avoid any delays.

Will a loft conversion add value?

In most cases, a well-designed loft conversion can increase your property’s value by 10–25%, particularly when it adds a new bedroom and bathroom.

It’s widely regarded as one of the most cost-effective ways to create additional space in London, often adding more value than the cost of the build itself. For a more detailed breakdown, read our blog on how loft conversions can increase your property value.

Do you have insurances, warranties or guarantees for your work?

Yes, we offer a 10-year guarantee on all our work, giving you complete peace of mind. Full details are clearly set out in the documentation provided before any work begins, so everything is transparent and straightforward from the start.
