Were very polite and conscientious. Paul Gibbs has complete control over the team and we felt they always went the extra mile.

FAQs: Richmond loft conversions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
