Detached Loft Conversions

Perhaps the largest type of loft conversion, a ‘Detached Property Loft Conversion’ can take many shapes, depending on the nature of the property and the additional space required.

Our in-house architectural team have worked on a wide range of detached properties, so they have the expertise and experience to advise our clients on the design options that are possible and in adapting the available space to suit their living requirements.

This detached property is located near Epping Forest and was the second loft conversion that we had completed for this client. Having already used our construction services in their previous home to create a loft conversion, they knew that we could help them achieve the loft conversion they had visualised when they purchased the property.

However, whilst the house was relatively new, it was located in a conservation area and therefore, unlike most loft conversions, required planning consent from the local authority. With our in-house architectural technician’s vast planning experience, he was able to produce a plan that met both the clients’ requirements in terms of space and design, whilst ensuring that the external design elements met the requirements of the local authority’s planning officer.

When we were looking for the property, it was all about location. Once we found the location, we knew from working with Rooftop Rooms previously that they would be able to help us adapt our new home to meet our individual design ideas.

As the conversion required planning, we knew that externally the architect would have to design something that was complementary to the existing style of the property, and what he came up with totally exceeded our expectations, and we are so happy with the outcome.

A Unique Loft Bedroom & En Suite

As you can see from the photographs, the loft has some great features; these have been created by the addition of the small dormers, enabling us to get the stairs up to the loft and creating some quirky areas in the loft. The light into the loft was enhanced further by the addition of some Velux windows to the front elevation.

This client wanted to create a completely open space with the en suite being part of the bedroom, creating a really luxurious hotel-like feel. The results are stunning!

The space is amazing! The workmanship was faultless, I make no excuses, I have some very strong design ideas, and I am sure everyone was fed up with me!

All joking aside, everyone from the architect, the technical project manager and the construction team on site they were all more than willing to work with us to make sure that we got exactly what I wanted.

A Two Bedroom Loft Conversion With Shower Room

Our second example of a loft conversion in a detached property is located in a quiet leafy Enfield street. We have completed several conversions on this street, and this is an excellent example of what can be achieved. This large detached house provided our clients with the possibility of creating an additional two bedrooms and a separate, sizeable shower room in a loft conversion. This was achieved by the addition of a full-width dormer that meant that the usable space could be easily divided up into excellent-sized bedrooms.

The Master Bedroom with Walk-in Wardrobe

The bedroom at the rear of the property is an above-average-sized double bedroom, with another great example of a walk-in wardrobe area; the room has been beautifully designed for the homeowners’ teenage daughter. It is a great private space for her! At present, the homeowners are using the designated walk-in wardrobe space as a combination of a study area come dressing area and have plans to design bespoke furniture at a later date.

The rear bedroom is light and bright due to some wonderful full-width French doors.

Second Loft Bedroom with Fitted Storage

The second loft bedroom was located in the front section of the roof and accommodated the homeowner’s son. In this bedroom, the loft space has been designed to make great use of the eaves area under the roof.

The bespoke fitted furniture is integrated into the roof line, providing invaluable storage in an otherwise redundant space.

Additional Shower Room

Thanks to our in-house architectural technicians, the family have also benefited from the welcome addition of a separate shower room which can be easily shared between the two children in the loft bedrooms. This good-sized space comfortably accommodates a large walk-in rain shower.

Loft Staircase Design

The new staircase to the loft is a seamless match to the original staircase and looks like it has always been there. It is our attention to detail in creating the design and in adding the finishing touches to quality craftsmanship that makes our loft conversions exceptional.

Another great example of what can be achieved!

We used Rooftop Rooms for a dormer loft conversion in our Victorian terrace last year and were very pleased with the overall experience. From the outset, Colin was clear about what was required and offered some excellent design ideas to help maximise the space. Rooftop Rooms also has a transparent pricing structure, which meant we had a clear understanding of costs from the beginning. As with any construction project, there were a few inevitable teething issues along the way, but Gary was always quick to respond and came to site promptly whenever needed to resolve them—even on bank holidays. Any communication challenges we experienced were generally with subcontractors rather than the Rooftop team themselves, who were consistently professional, polite, and helpful. Sally and Hayley in the office were excellent throughout the project, keeping everything organised and ensuring matters were followed up efficiently. Overall, I would happily recommend Rooftop Rooms. Their transparency, responsiveness, and commitment to customer service made the process much smoother. As with any building project, maintaining clear communication and regular site visits is key, and Rooftop supported this well throughout.

We used Rooftop rooms for our loft conversion (double dormer in an L shape). We are delighted with the amazing space they have created for our family and the loft was finished to a high standard. Throughout the process, staff in the office and on site were friendly, professional and helpful. They employ highly skilled trades and are experts in this area. Thank you Rooftop rooms!

Roof Top Rooms has just completed my loft conversion and the work from start to finish was handled with excellence. All snags were finalised, the whole team from the office to the tradesmen worked efficiently with little mess and were a joy to be around. I'm beyond thrilled with my new bedroom and shower room and I highly recommend Roof Top Rooms. It wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be. Special thanks to Gary who managed the project with care, Sally and Hayley for their invaluable advice in the office and their weekly schedules. Dan, Billie and Terry who built the dormer and the rest of the team (electricians, plasterers, carpenter, plumbers, tiler, snag team) who were all fantastic!

Rooftop Rooms did a fantastic job on our loft conversion. The bulk of the building work was completed within two months which was greatly appreciated in winter. They gave us lots of good advice throughout the process and were flexible and considerate to the changes we asked for - things like window types and sizes, electrical socket placements, bathroom layout etc. The end result was exactly what we wanted and I would definitely recommend them.

We used Rooftop Rooms for a loft conversion: a bedroom + bathroom. Have to say that they were excellent from start to finish. A couple of elements worth highlighting. Firstly, the advice they offered throughout the process from planning through construction was top notch. They made things really clear and transparent gave us great information. Secondly, the construction itself was great and carried out to a high standard. Mitch and his crew were really good throughout and it went smoothly and surprisingly quickly. All the carpentry, electrics, plumbing etc. was organised well too. Gary, who was project managing the whole thing, was also really helpful providing us with advice, running through things with us, and getting any snagging done quickly at the end. Ultimately, they did everything they said they would, on budget, and did it to the timescales they'd set. We're really pleased with the results - couldn't ask for any more! Thank you Rooftop Rooms!

We have used Rooftop Rooms now for the 2nd time to do our loft conversion in Hadley Wood. It was a big, ambitious project that involved removing the whole roof, lifting the gables on each side and creating 3 x huge dormas at the back, and 2 x dormas in the front. They employ all their own tradesmen, who are the nicest builders we have ever met. Most of the employees were still with them from the last time we used them 8 years ago to do our loft conversion in Whetstone, which just show that the company is run by nice people. They are trustworthy and keep their promises. Gary and Colin, the two owners, just does not let you down and are always there to ensure that we were happy. They go out of their way to keep everything on track, and communication was outstanding throughout the 9 month project. Yes, things can go wrong, but they just on it straight away and sort it out - no questions asked and no quibbles. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

We’ve been thoroughly impressed with Rooftop Rooms from start to finish. Our loft conversion was managed brilliantly, with timely and effective communication from Hayley and Sally in the office and our PM Gary was always on hand to advise and support with decisions and things that cropped up along the way. We couldn’t believe how quickly the build took shape, with Adam and the team working incredibly long days to get the roof off and back on again with minimal fuss. Everyone worked so hard. Would recommend!

Delighted with the work Rooftop Rooms have done for us to convert our loft to a master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe. The build was completed by a highly professional team of reliable and skilled tradesmen. There was good communication from Hayley and Sally and Project Manager Gary ensured everything ran smoothly and was there to answer questions where we had them. The 1st fix carpentry team led by Adam and his team worked long hours and the loft took shape very quickly and it was really impressive how quickly the structural work was completed with then no downtime before the next element of the build. We're very happy with how the build has turned out and would definitely recommend Rooftop Rooms.

We recently had a loft conversion done with Rooftop Rooms and are really pleased with the results. I was really apprehensive about getting building work done, after we had a terrible experience with another company a couple of years ago. But Rooftop Rooms really put my mind at rest from the start with their professionalism, knowledge and communication. Everyone involved from Gary to Sally, Hayley and Kerry in the office, to the teams of carpenters, plumbers and electricians, and the snagging team, were all so friendly and helpful throughout. There was always someone at the end of the phone if we had any questions and we knew exactly what was happening each week. Everyone who has seen the room has commented on the high quality of the work. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rooftop Rooms - and they have restored my faith in building companies!
