Why might you want to consider a loft conversion in Romford?
When it comes to creating extra space in your home the loft is often a very underused and very large space. A loft conversion provides you with access to this space and gives it a much better purpose. If storage is still required, this can, of course, be factored into how you use the space within your loft. Any work that you have done on your home, whether it is a house extension, or a loft conversion can be messy and time consuming. However, this disruption is likely to be significantly less when you choose a loft conversion. Opting for loft conversion builders who have experience in the field means that your loft conversion could take as little as 4-8 weeks to complete. This, coupled with the lack of planning permission that is required for some loft conversions, can be an important consideration for those homeowners who are trying to make the decision between a loft conversion and a home extension.

We used Alex and his team as an emergency to re-do and complete a loft conversion after dealing with a cowboy builder. In all honesty, I wished we had used him in the first place. With my wife being heavily pregnant and us living in freezing cold and unsafe conditions over Xmas, Alex came in and did a stellar job!. As soon as he found out we had to have an emergency birth 4 weeks early, he pulled his entire team on to our job so that we could move back home ASAP. We will be forever grateful to Alex and his team and could not recommend him highly enough based on the quality of the work and the professionalism they showed

Very competent, hard working and honest builder who actually listens to customer requirements. I started off with a small scope and this quickly expanded as they were delivering exactly to schedule. It is rare to find a company that is in control of a building project as totally, as the AP team. Highly recommended!

From beginning to end the work has been first class for our house extension in Upminster.
Aleks and his team are very friendly, respectable and caring. It can sometimes be daunting being around builders and worrying about leaving them alone in your home. However with Aleks and his team it has felt like we have been looked after as if we are family.
Every concern was addressed and Aleks took the time to listen and discuss workarounds or problem solved to get us the best possible result.
The builders use new and up to date equipment to ensure a great result. Aleks has a fantastic eye for detail and is very proud of the standard of work he produces.
The team are extremely hard working and willing to put all the hours in and more to meet deadlines. Aleks is always on hand to reassure us and offer advice where needed.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality honest builders at a reasonable price in Upminster.

What types of loft conversion are there?
Like extensions there are a range of different loft conversions that can be undertaken on your home, and the first step is to talk to loft conversion builders who will be able to advise you on the best option for your needs and for your property type.
As loft conversion builders, the simplest loft conversion that we can undertake for you is by plaster boarding loft. This type of loft boarding conversion will provide you with a basic larger room that you can use as storage space or a home office space. We will provide you with better access to your loft, add plasterboards to the walls and roof space so that it is safe and more insulated for use and, of course, add floorboards. From our years of experience as loft conversion builders, we would also recommend adding some form of windows to the space so that you have access to plenty of natural light.
Any loft conversion builders will tell you that a Dormer loft conversion is a very popular type of loft conversion. Part of the reason for this is that it is also quite a quick loft conversion to complete, which means you will be able to use the space very quickly. A Dormer loft conversion is one that involves the installation of a box-shaped structure into the sloped (pitched) roof of your property. The Dormer’s right angles create a flat roof that sticks out from the property and offers better headroom, and also gives the entire space a better, more classic room shape. A Dormer extension’s windows face outwards and, given their height, are rarely overlooked by other buildings allowing for plenty of natural light and, of course, better views. The term Dormer loft conversion is a generic term for a range of different types of Dormer conversions. As loft conversion builders with many years of experience, we have worked on all of them.
The main types of Dormer loft conversion that any loft conversion builders will be able to assist you with are:
- Side Dormer – This is a Dormer that loft conversion builders can build into the side-facing roof slope. This type of Dormer is the ideal choice for any homeowner who is looking to add space to a property that has a roof ridge that runs from the front to the back of the property.
- Single Dormer – This is a smaller type of Dormer extension with an individual window added to the loft conversion. This will allow a smaller space with greater headroom in the space, with the window space jutting out from the roof of the property whilst the rest of the room retains the shape of the sloped roof. This type of Dormer should not need any form of planning permission, but experienced loft conversion builders will be able to advise you on this.
- Double Dormer – Whilst a Dormer adds a box to one side of the ridge tiles found at the back of a property, a double Dormer loft conversion will help to create even more space and a dual aspect by using both sides of the roof. This is a popular choice with older properties that have already had a double-storey extension to the back, and it can even be used for an L-shaped loft conversion which allows for the possibility of joining both Dormers in the middle. Good loft conversion builders will advise you if this is possible.
- Full-width Dormer – As the name would suggest, a full-width Dormer loft conversion is one that extends vertically from the roofline of the property and runs the length of the home. This creates a large amount of extra space and is an incredibly popular choice for those who are looking to create a luxury master suite or living space. As loft conversion builders in Romford, we have found this to be a very popular choice of loft extension because of the space it can offer and one that any loft conversion builders will have plenty of experience creating.
As loft conversion builders, the simplest loft conversion that we can undertake for you is by plaster boarding loft. This type of loft boarding conversion will provide you with a basic larger room that you can use as storage space or a home office space. We will provide you with better access to your loft, add plasterboards to the walls and roof space so that it is safe and more insulated for use and, of course, add floorboards. From our years of experience as loft conversion builders, we would also recommend adding some form of windows to the space so that you have access to plenty of natural light.
A building company for loft conversion will be able to advise you when a Mansard conversion may be more appropriate for your property compared to a standard Dormer conversion. The difference between the two is that where the Dormer extension is built vertically off the back wall of your property a Mansard will be gently sloped in order to create a softer appearance. As loft conversion builders, we like to remind clients that what they will gain in aesthetics with this type of build should be weighed up against the small amount of headspace they will lose. It does, however, offer something that still has great space and is more pleasing to the eye.
Here are some projects that we are proud of Projects
What are the benefits of a loft conversion?
The perfect home can be hard to find. Once you find it, the thought of moving out can be an unappealing one. Whether it is ideally suited for your day to day life with easy access to good schools and quick routes to your workplace or you simply like the area and have put lots of time and effort into really making the property your own, sometimes you can find that you simply do not have enough space. This can be particularly true if you have a growing family or need a space that you can use for working from home. However, loft conversion builders can provide you with a way in which you can stay in your property, and make use of the space underneath your roof. If you have already explored the option of a home extension and decided, it isn’t for you or simply don’t have the space to extend your property then there are still other options that are available to you. You might be surprised to learn that there are in fact a number of benefits that you can gain from asking loft conversion builders to add a loft conversion to your home..
To create more space
The first and biggest benefit of having a loft conversion is that you can create more space in your home. As loft conversion builders, we can help you to maximise that unused space. Whether this is because your children are growing up and you want to give them their own rooms, you need a home office, or your family is expanding, a loft conversion can give you some much needed additional room within your home. As loft conversion builders we often get asked to create a master bedroom space in a loft conversion with additional bathroom facilities, and this is certainly a very good use of that extra space.
Energy Efficient
It may come as a surprise, but a good loft conversion can be quite energy efficient. If you have large windows, put in as part of your loft conversion then you will be able to take advantage of the natural light for longer, and the room will appear much brighter, even on rainy days, than others in the home. Hot air rises, so in the winter, the insulation in your roof will help to keep your loft conversion warm. In the summer months, the more open plan nature of a loft conversion, together with large roof windows, will help to cool your home down. With so many building companies for loft conversions out there, it is important to make sure that the loft conversion builders that you use have the knowledge and the experience to do the job properly, giving you the best conversion possible.
Adding value to your property

Planning Permission
The majority of loft conversions may be carried out without the need for planning permission. This makes them a much more viable option for many homeowners in comparison to home extensions which have more requirements for planning permission. It is, however, important to note that loft conversions do still need to satisfy the relevant building regulations, which is why you should choose your loft conversion builders carefully. It is important to check with your borough to see if planning permission for your loft conversion is required or not.
