Your loft has been wasted long enough.
Most West Yorkshire lofts are cold storage for Christmas decorations. We turn them into the best room in the house — with a fixed price in writing before you commit to anything.
- Dormer conversion, typical
- £46,500
- On site
- 7–11 weeks
- Deposit
- Capped at 15%
- Under 40m³ added (terraced) or 50m³ (semi/detached) is usually permitted development — no application needed
- New roofline stays below the existing ridge height
- Article 4 areas (certain conservation streets in Leeds and Bradford) remove permitted development rights — flagged at survey
Will your loft actually work?
Measure floor to ridge — top of the ceiling joist to the underside of the ridge board. This is the first thing any surveyor checks, and it tells you most of what you need to know before we ever visit.
There's no legal minimum ceiling height for a habitable room in England — 2.2m is a rule of thumb, not a regulation. What is regulated is stair headroom: 2m normally, relaxed to 1.9m centre / 1.8m edge for a loft conversion specifically.
- Insulation & lining
- −100–200mm
- New floor structure
- −100–150mm
This works
A standard conversion finishes comfortably — full standing height for a conventional stair and an en-suite.
Reviews, not testimonials we wrote ourselves.
Pulled live from Google, unfiltered by star rating — hiding a bad one is against the law here.
Finished a week early and the invoice matched the contract to the pound. Building control signed off first time, no snags.
They flagged the steel sizing cost before it became a surprise on the invoice. Exactly what the quote said it would be.
Handled the party wall notices directly — we never had to chase our neighbours or a surveyor ourselves.
One crew, start to finish
The same four people from scaffold to sign-off — no subcontractors rotating through, no arguing over whose fault a delay was.
A price with the gaps labelled
Every quote comes with a scope schedule: what's included, what isn't, and the rate any variation is priced at before it happens — not after.
The paperwork nobody enjoys
Party wall notices, building control, structural calculations, the lawful development certificate you'll need when you sell — all handled, not left to you.
Money held back until it's earned
Deposit capped at 15%. Five per cent retained until building control issues the completion certificate — not a day before.
Questions we'd want answered before signing anything.
We looked at how other loft firms in this region present their pricing before building this site. These are the bits most of them leave out.
Design fees, structural calculations, planning and building control fees, and a sane contingency add 15–25% to any headline build cost. We put the full number in front of you at survey, not somewhere in week seven.
First fix is the ugliest stretch of any build — walls opened up, dust everywhere, nothing visibly finished. It's normal, and it passes.
If your ridge height won't clear workable headroom, or planning genuinely won't allow it, we say so at survey — before you've paid a deposit, not after.
Not to a mortgage lender, anyway. Skip that step to save money now and it can stall or kill your sale years later — we register every job with building control from day one.
Currently on site.
Four people, one job at a time.
Skyline exists because of a survey that went badly for someone else — three quotes that couldn't be compared to one another. We took the lottery out of who shows up by not subcontracting.
