The Process

Survey & Consultation – In the first step of the process we offer a FREE no-obligation survey and consultation. This stage is important for taking the time to understand your bespoke requirements, preferences, and carefully listening to you wishes. We’ll also take the time to help you understand what’s possible and the previous types of loft conversion projects we’ve helped with.
Producing Concepts & Architectural Designs – Once we have a better understanding of what type of space you want your loft conversion to be and how you want it to look, we will begin by producing initial concepts and architectural designs for your loft conversion. This will give you a much better idea on how your loft conversion will appear.
Planning Permission – Our team at Tom Withers Architecture will be in touch with the local authorities to find out if planning permission will be required. If it is required, we will then proceed to submitting a request before patiently waiting for a response. We have a fantastic success rate when it comes to planning permission approval.
Detailed Design Proposal – After planning permission has been approved, the next step will be to create final architectural plans and designs that will be submitted to you and your team. At this stage, once all designs have been approved, they will be sent to the chosen contractors and we will continue to oversee the design and build stage until finish.

Loft Conversion Architecture – FAQs

What is a loft conversion?

A loft conversion is the process of converting an underutilised attic or loft space into a functional living area. It typically involves transforming the space into bedrooms, home offices, playrooms, or additional living spaces. Whatever type of space you’re looking to transform your loft space into, it all starts with working with a local architecture company just like ourselves.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

In many cases, loft conversions can be done under permitted development rights, which means planning permission may not be required. However, certain conditions must be met, such as the size and type of the conversion and the property’s location. It’s best to consult with an architecture practice or local planning authority to determine if planning permission is needed.

Can I customise the design of my loft conversion?

Yes, loft conversions can be customised to suit your specific requirements and design preferences. Our architecture team will work closely with you to understand your needs and create a design that maximises the use of space, incorporates desired features, and aligns with your aesthetic preferences. Whatever your preferences are it’s likely that we can provide 3D designs for them so that you can preview exactly how your space will appear before construction begins.

What are the different types of loft conversions?

There are several types of loft conversions, including dormer loft conversions, hip-to-gable loft conversions, mansard loft conversions, and velux or rooflight loft conversions. The choice of the conversion type depends on factors such as the property’s roof structure, available space, and desired design outcome. Our team at TWA will be happy to go through each type of loft conversion and recommend the most suitable one for your property based on our experience.

Why consider an architecture team for loft conversions?

There are many reasons for you to consider an architecture team for a loft conversion. Although there is no legal requirement to involve an architecture practice, it’s highly recommended. An architecture team can help you to save lots of money by maximising value with the design of your loft conversion and helping you to avoid money-wasting errors. Architecture teams, just like TWA, also have years of experience with design expertise and key structural considerations.

How long does a loft conversion take to complete?

The duration of a loft conversion project depends on various factors, including the complexity of the design, the size of the conversion, and the availability of materials and labour. On average, a loft conversion can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
