How much does a loft conversion cost in London?

These are typical London market ranges for 2026 — a realistic guide for budgeting, not a fixed price list. Your exact figure depends on your roof, size and finish, so we give you a fixed written quote after a free site visit.

What affects your loft conversion cost?

Conversion type & roof

A simple Velux costs far less than a mansard rebuild — your existing roof shape and structure set the starting point.

Size & structural work

Bigger rooms, steel beams, chimney removal and reinforced floors all add to the build cost.

En-suite & plumbing

Adding a bathroom or en-suite to your new loft means extra plumbing, drainage and waterproofing.

Staircase & access

Where the new stairs go — and how tight the access is — affects labour and design time.

Planning & party wall

Mansards, conservation areas and party-wall agreements add fees and lead time versus permitted development.

Finish & fit-out

Flooring, joinery, lighting, built-in wardrobes and glazing choices move the final figure up or down.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a loft conversion cost in London?

A typical loft conversion in London ranges from £30,000 for a Velux/roof-light conversion to £85,000+ for a full mansard rebuild. Most dormer conversions land between £45,000 and £65,000 depending on size and finish. We provide a written quote after the free site visit.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many loft conversions fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission — particularly Velux and rear dormer conversions on detached/semi-detached homes. Mansards, conservation areas and front-facing changes usually do need permission. We'll advise on this at the free site visit.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Most loft conversions take 8 to 14 weeks. A simple Velux conversion can be done in 6–8 weeks. A mansard or L-shaped dormer typically takes 12–16 weeks. We share a timeline with the quote.

Will my house be liveable during the build?

Yes, you can stay in the house during a loft conversion. The work happens above your living space, with most access via scaffolding rather than through the house. We protect the staircase and existing rooms, and access is via a separate route until the new stairs go in.

What's the best type of loft conversion for a London terrace?

For Victorian and Edwardian terraces (the most common London housing type), an L-shaped dormer usually gives the best space and value — you get the rear dormer plus the L-shape extending over the back addition. Mansards work well on flat-roofed sections.

Can I add a bathroom to my loft conversion?

Yes — a loft en-suite is one of the most popular additions, especially when the loft becomes the master bedroom. We handle all the plumbing, drainage and electrical as part of the build.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

If you share walls with neighbours (most London terraces do), yes — the Party Wall Act requires you to serve notice on adjoining owners. We can guide you through this and recommend trusted surveyors if needed.
