Loft Conversions

A loft conversion transforms unused space beneath a pitched roof into a functional area, like a bedroom, office, or studio. At DK Building, we specialize in creating custom spaces that enhance your home’s value and functionality. Whatever your vision, we’ll bring it to life with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Most loft conversions can be constructed without obtaining planning permission however from a building control perspective it may be the most complex domestic project to undertake!

It is likely your loft space was not designed to bear the loads of an inhabited room and as a result, both the roof and floor will need additional structural strength in the form of steel beams. Additional timbers will be required to accommodate the new insulation and plaster boarding.

Structural consideration, re-roofing and chimney repairs or removal will also require the expert calculations of a structural engineer. DK Building will work to their recommendations.

Case Study

In this loft conversion project, a new staircase was required to comply with all Building Regulations. Many homeowners are often unsure of the difference between Planning Permission and Building Regulations. While Planning Permission governs the aesthetics and impact on the local environment, Building Regulations ensure structural quality and safety.

Our team worked closely with the client to ensure that key aspects like insulation, ventilation, smoke detection, wiring, plumbing, and fire safety were all addressed. Rooflights and windows were strategically placed to maximize natural light while ensuring regulatory compliance.

We take the stress out of the process by handling all aspects of the build, from planning to working with local authorities on behalf of our clients. Our expertise ensures that projects run smoothly, with attention to detail from the start.

Clients consistently praise our team for being easy-going and considerate, often commenting on how they miss our presence once the project is complete!

It’s taken us a while to get round to writing this review (we’ve now lived in our renovated kitchen-diner space for 18 months!) but we’re as happy now as we were when it was originally completed. From the initial consultation with Daniel we knew we were in safe hands. The work was completed in a timely fashion and we were kept well updated by Richard, our project manager who was always available to answer questions and offer advice. Every member of the team was lovely and work was completed to a really high standard. We’ve been chuffed with the outcome, and would absolutely use DK Building again in the future. Thanks also to Rose and Katy in the office!

Fantastic visit to the Passive house open day. Meticulous attention to detail and I'm sure it'll be a great house once it's done, highly recommend!

We recently had a downstairs renovation completed by DK Building. This involved knocking through a wall, building a new utility room, new floor, blocking up a door, replacing radiators, and making a kitchen space ready for installers, as well as other numerous smaller jobs.

Throughout the whole process, DK were always professional, punctual, and polite. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they were very flexible when it came to new jobs that came up during the build. For example, they raised our kitchen floor level so it is on the same level as the dining room floor, even though this was not part of the original spec. They also installed our kitchen worktops when the originals fell through and we had to make alternative arrangements. I have nothing but good things to say about them, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Special thank you's to Daniel and Richard for their fantastic project management, Marcin for his seamless electrical work, Berian for the smoothest plastering you'll ever see, Wes, Kamil and Bart for completing too many jobs to a very high level of quality to mention here, Zibi for doing the worktops (they look great!), Paul and Chris for doing the knockthrough and other work, and to Katy in the office for her excellent organisation and quick replies to emails. Thank you everyone!
