Expert Loft Conversions in Stockport

Love your home but running out of space? Don't deal with the stress and cost of moving. A loft conversion is the smartest investment you can make in your property.

Unlike general builders, we understand the anatomy of your roof. We build from the outside in, ensuring your new Master Suite or Office isn't just beautiful—it is 100% watertight, heavily insulated, and structurally secure.

Which Conversion is Right For You?

Velux Loft Conversion

The most affordable option. We reinforce the floor, insulate, and install windows without altering the roofline.

  • ✓ No planning usually required
  • ✓ Fast completion
  • ✓ Great for home offices

Dormer Conversion

The Stockport favorite. We extend the roof vertically to create a box shape, adding massive headroom.

  • ✓ Adds maximum floor space
  • ✓ Ideal for Master En-suites
  • ✓ Suitable for most Semis

Hip to Gable

Ideal for end-of-terrace or semi-detached houses with a sloping side roof.

  • ✓ Maximizes internal volume
  • ✓ Completely transforms the attic
  • ✓ High property value increase

Planning: Stockport vs Cheshire East

Permitted Development: Most standard conversions fall under 'Permitted Development' (PD), meaning no full planning application is needed.

The Exception: If you live in a Conservation Area (common in Knutsford or Altrincham), permission is required. We handle all liaison with Stockport Council or Cheshire East Council on your behalf.

Our Recent Loft Projects in Poynton

Rear dormer loft conversion exterior in Poynton

Rear Dormer Conversion & Master Suite | Poynton
We transformed this semi-detached home by constructing a full-width rear dormer. This design allowed us to maximize the internal headroom, turning a previously cramped attic into a multi room space with a luxury en-suite. Externally, we finished the vertical walls in matching hanging tiles to blend perfectly with the original property, while the flat roof was sealed with high-performance EPDM rubber roofing for long-term durability.

Our Recent Attic Conversion in Stockport

Bright attic bedroom conversion with large Velux windows in Stockport

Luxury Velux Attic Bedroom Conversion | Stockport
We unlocked the potential of this Stockport property without altering the external roofline. By installing a bank of large Velux roof windows, we flooded the new master bedroom with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Behind the scenes, we performed extensive structural floor reinforcement and installed high-grade thermal insulation to ensure the room stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

Common Questions About Loft Conversions

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Stockport?

In most cases, standard Velux and rear Dormer conversions fall under 'Permitted Development' (PD) rights, meaning full planning permission is not required. However, there are strict volume limits (40m³ for terraces, 50m³ for semi-detached).

If you live in a conservation area—such as The Heatons or parts of Cheadle—or if your property is listed, you will need approval. We handle all liaison with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council to ensure your build is compliant.

I live in a Conservation Area in Knutsford or Wilmslow. Can I convert?

Yes, but the rules are stricter. In Cheshire East conservation areas (like those in Knutsford, Wilmslow, or Alderley Edge), you generally cannot alter the front roofline. This often means large front dormers are prohibited.

However, we often successfully install conservation-style Velux windows to the front and restrict structural changes to the rear (out of sight). We can advise on what Cheshire East Council is likely to approve during our initial survey.

Can you convert a Victorian Terrace loft in Stockport?

Absolutely. Victorian terraces (common in Edgeley, Hazel Grove, and Marple) are often ideal for conversions due to their steep roof pitch.

For these properties, an "L-Shaped Dormer" (extending over the rear outrigger) is a popular choice, as it can add two bedrooms and a bathroom. We are experts at reinforcing the older timber structures found in these 19th-century homes.

How disruptive is the work? Will I have to move out?

You do not have to move out of your home. We mostly access the loft via scaffolding from the outside. We perform the structural strengthening, insulation, and dormer construction through the roof opening.

We only break through to your landing to install the staircase in the final week of the project, minimizing dust and disruption to your daily life.

How much value does a Dormer conversion add in SK postcodes?

While every street is different, estate agent data suggests a master bedroom with an en-suite can add roughly 20% to the property value. In high-demand areas like Bramhall and Poynton, this return on investment is often higher than the cost of the build itself, making it a smarter financial move than moving house.

Will my existing boiler handle the new radiator and en-suite?

This is a crucial check often missed by general builders. Adding a bathroom in the loft requires adequate water pressure. We assess your boiler system (Combi vs System) during our survey. If you need an upgrade to handle the extra pressure on the 3rd floor, we can factor this into the plan.
