Conversions in Teddington
If your loft is full of unused items or your garage is just gathering dust, a conversion is the perfect solution. At Home Improvement & Construction Ltd, we specialise in converting these spaces into stylish, functional rooms tailored to your needs. Not only does this maximise your living space, but it can also boost your property’s value.
These types of conversions are often considered permitted development, so there’s no need for lengthy planning delays—just a smooth transition from vision to reality. Serving Teddington and surrounding areas, we provide expert construction services with quality craftsmanship.
Conversions in Teddington
Maximise your home’s potential with a loft conversion, transforming underutilised attic space into a stylish and functional living area. By adapting your existing footprint, a loft conversion is often a faster and more cost-effective alternative to a traditional extension. Many standard loft conversions fall under permitted development, eliminating the need for formal planning permission. Once your application is submitted, work can typically commence within 48 hours, allowing you to enhance your home with minimal delay.
Whether you need an extra bedroom, a luxurious master en-suite, a dedicated home office, or a multi-purpose recreational space, Home Improvement & Construction Ltd (HICL) delivers tailored loft conversions to suit your needs. Our projects include high-quality features such as modern electrics, stylish lighting, elegant bathrooms, premium windows and doors, and custom woodwork. To ensure compliance with fire safety regulations, we install fire doors throughout the property or, alternatively, fit a fire door in the loft room alongside smoke alarms on each floor. With our expert team managing every detail from design to completion, we create bespoke, high-quality spaces that add both practicality and value to your home.
Dormer Conversion
This will create additional floor space and head room, projecting vertically at the rear, whilst keeping the slope of the roof at the front.
Velux Conversion
This is the least invasive option as new Velux windows are installed, flush to the existing roof line. Due to the lack of roof alteration here, planning permission is usually not required.
Hip to Gable Conversion
A more ambitious project in terms of space. This conversion will change the look of the roof from both aspects and will often create extra space for the new staircase.
Why consider a loft conversion?
Loft conversions are one of the most popular and relatively cost-effective ways of adding value to your home. If you are able to divide up your loft space into a new bedroom and bathroom, you will be adding two of the most sought-after extra rooms in any home. Research has shown that this kind of work to your property can increase its value by up to 20%.
Loft conversions are generally a much quicker proposition than an extension and are far less disruptive to your day to day living. Once the knock through has taken place to install your new staircase, the majority of the build will be going on without you even noticing.
Keep it under one roof! It is no secret that better insulation in your home will help heat loss and make your whole house more energy efficient. With that in mind, it is a known fact that heat is lost through the roof of your house, so if you decided to convert your loft space, you will be obligated to insulate the rafters with a minimum of 150mm of insulation, thereby creating a block to heat loss in your home.
If we are totally honest with ourselves, most roof spaces are used to store the clutter that we no longer want or need. By creating a new, attractive living space, you will have the opportunity to declutter or recycle the items that you no longer have a use for and in return, you will gain a room with a view! Given that the loft is the highest point of any house, by creating a room in that space, you will undoubtedly end up with unspoilt views of your neighbourhood as opposed to views of other people’s brick walls and cars. This has to be a win:win!
