“I can't recommend Renofox enough! My reroofing project was handled with total professionalism from start to finish. The team were incredibly efficient, kept the disruption to a minimum and the finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. Great quality work and a great experience overall. Thank you!”
“Amazing work by Chris on my rental property. They knocked out a wall and did an amazing job of an open plan Kitchen fit. Quality is outstanding, the crew was professional and very tidy for a building company. Highly recommended.”

How much does a loft conversion cost in the UK?+
Loft conversion costs in the UK typically range from £20,000 to £65,000 depending on type: £20,000 to £30,000 for a Velux or rooflight conversion, £35,000 to £55,000 for a dormer conversion (the most common type), and £45,000 to £65,000 for a hip-to-gable conversion.
Which type of loft conversion is right for me?+
A Velux or rooflight conversion suits homes with enough existing head height and is the most cost-effective option. A dormer conversion adds the most usable floor space and headroom, making it the most popular choice for a full bedroom or en-suite. A hip-to-gable conversion suits homes with a sloping hip roof and squares off the roofline to maximise space.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?+
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development and don't need full planning permission, provided the additional roof space doesn't exceed 40 cubic metres for a terraced house or 50 cubic metres for a detached or semi-detached house, the extension doesn't go beyond the plane of the existing roof slope on the side facing a highway, and materials match the existing house. Larger conversions or homes in conservation areas usually do need planning permission.
How long does a loft conversion take?+
A dormer or hip-to-gable loft conversion typically takes 6 to 10 weeks on-site, while a simpler Velux or rooflight conversion can often be completed in 4 to 6 weeks.
How much value does a loft conversion add to a house?+
A loft conversion typically adds 10 to 15% to a property's value in most of the UK, though this varies sharply by region — up to 15 to 20% in London, 10 to 15% in the South East, and 5 to 10% in the Midlands and North.
Does a loft conversion need building regulations approval?+
All loft conversions need Building Regulations approval regardless of whether planning permission is needed, covering fire safety including a protected escape route, the structural strength of the new floor, insulation, and safe staircase access.
