Compared with a two-storey house, a bungalow loft is usually generous — the roof covers the whole footprint, so even a modest property can gain two rooms and a shower room upstairs. Set against the cost of moving, or losing garden to a ground-floor extension, converting the roof space is often the practical route to a bigger home. Every project we take on is fully managed from structural calculations through to plastering and decoration, it starts with a free survey, and the finished work carries a 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 Crook O'Lune or over in Caton or Caton Green. 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.
We're based in Preston and travel out across the North West, so you deal with one firm from survey to handover rather than a chain of subcontractors. Structural design, planning paperwork, the build and the finishing are all managed by us. Every conversion carries a 10-year guarantee, and the survey and quotation cost nothing — you'll know exactly where you stand before committing.
You can normally stay living downstairs for the whole build. We work top-down: scaffold and roof work first, accessed from outside, then the loft floor and rooms are built above your ceilings before we break through. In a bungalow the one unavoidable intrusion is forming the staircase, because it takes a slice of your ground floor — we agree the timing with you and board the area off while it's open.
It is. A trussed roof means the diagonal timbers filling your loft are structural, so the conversion starts with calculations: steels are installed to take the loads, new rafters and purlins go in, and only then are the old webs cut away. Done in the right order the roof never loses support. Expect a longer build and a higher price than a cut-roof bungalow, which the survey will confirm.
Most bungalows can be converted, but three things decide how easily: the height between ceiling joists and ridge (around 2.2 metres is comfortable), whether the roof is a cut roof or trussed, and whether there's a workable spot for the staircase downstairs. Shallow or hipped roofs shrink the usable area. We check all of this at a free survey and give you a straight answer.
Usually, yes — permitted development covers most rear and side dormers provided the volume limits are met and nothing sits above the ridge line. Two things always apply regardless: building regulations approval, which covers the structure, fire safety and stairs, and a check that your property still holds its permitted development rights, since some councils removed them from particular estates. We handle both checks as standard.
