A bungalow gives you something most houses don't: a big, simple roof with nothing built above it. Converting that space means new floor joists, a staircase taken out of the ground floor, and often a dormer to win head height. We're a Preston-based firm and we carry out bungalow loft conversions across Barton Preston , Barton West Lancashire and Bashall Eaves — one team handling the structural design, the build and the finishing, all covered by our 10-year guarantee.
In a house the staircase already exists; in a bungalow it has to come from somewhere. Building regulations want a maximum pitch of 42 degrees and proper headroom at the top, which in practice means the stairs need a decent run — often three metres or more of floor. The usual candidates are a long hallway, a rarely used dining room, or a corner of a bedroom you're happy to give up. Where the stairs land also fixes the layout upstairs, so we work the staircase out before anything else. If no sensible position exists, we'll say so at the survey.
Permitted development isn't guaranteed. Some bungalow estates had those rights removed when they were first built, and conservation areas and Article 4 directions restrict dormers too, so it's worth a check with the local planning authority before assuming anything — we do this for every job, whether it's in Barton Preston or over in Barton West Lancashire or Bashall Eaves. Where a full application is needed, we handle the drawings and paperwork. Separately, building control will inspect the structural work at set stages, and we book those visits in as we go.
One point of contact runs the whole job: survey, structural calculations, building control liaison, scaffold, the build itself and the making-good at the end. We're a Preston firm and we cover the wider North West from there — no local branch, just the same team travelling out to each job. The quote is free and itemised, and the finished conversion is backed by a written 10-year guarantee.
There's no honest single figure — the same bungalow footprint can vary widely in price depending on the roof. The big cost drivers are trussed rafters needing steel replacement, the size of any dormer, how much ground-floor alteration the staircase demands, and whether you're adding a bathroom upstairs. Rather than guess, we'll survey the property free of charge and give you a fixed, itemised quote.
Almost everyone stays put. Most of the structural work happens from outside via scaffold, with the roof kept weathertight throughout, so the early weeks barely touch your living space. The noisy, dusty stretch comes when we cut the staircase opening and connect the two floors — usually a week or so — and we seal off and clean up as we go. You'll keep water, heating and power throughout.
Yes, and it's common — most bungalows built after the mid-1960s have trussed rafters. The W-shaped webs can't simply be cut out; a structural engineer designs steel beams and new timbers to carry the roof first, then the trusses are removed section by section with the roof supported throughout. It adds engineering and cost compared with an older cut roof, but it's routine work for us.
The main test is height at the ridge: roughly 2.2 metres from the top of the ceiling joists upwards usually allows a conversion, and a dormer can rescue roofs that fall a little short. Roof type matters too — trussed rafters need more structural work than older cut roofs. A free survey will tell you within the hour whether yours stacks up.
