Loft Conversions & Extensions in Orpington & Bromley

Moving house is expensive and disruptive. Many Orpington and Bromley homeowners want an extra bedroom, home office or en-suite.

Often, the simplest way to get one is the space already sitting above their heads — the loft. Planning rules for loft conversions are generally more relaxed than for ground-floor extensions. Since that's the case, a loft is often one of the simplest ways to add space.

We're roofers first, so we build every Tecta Conversions loft with the roof at its heart. Experienced roofers handle the dormer cheeks, flashings, insulation and weatherproofing. As a result, the finished conversion is warm, dry and properly detailed. Every loft is different, but the same core principle applies: get the roof structure and weatherproofing right first, then build the room around it.

Every project starts with a free survey to confirm what your roof shape allows. A Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable or mansard design each suits a different property. We also handle the Building Regulations application as part of the job, so you have nothing to chase up separately. Our loft conversion types guide compares Velux, dormer and hip-to-gable designs.

Dormer and hip-to-gable conversions typically need the most roofing work. That's because they involve altering the existing roof shape, rather than just fitting rooflights into it. Having the roofing and conversion under one roof — quite literally — means fewer handover points. Nothing slips through the gap between trades.
