Loft conversions are
our speciality

Loft conversions are what Iron & Oak built their reputation on. Barry and Ben have been transforming unused attic spaces into beautiful, liveable rooms across Weston-super-Mare and Bristol for over 40 years combined. Whether you want a simple Velux conversion to add light and height, a full dormer to create a proper room, or a hip-to-gable to maximise every inch of space — we've done it all.

We manage the entire project from the initial survey through to plastering, electrics, plumbing and the final coat of paint. You deal with one team from start to finish — no handoffs, no subcontractors you've never met.

Types of Loft Conversion

Which conversion
is right for you?

Velux Loft Conversion

The most straightforward and cost-effective option. Roof windows are fitted into the existing slope — no structural changes to the roofline. Ideal if your loft already has good head height. Minimal disruption, quickest turnaround.

Dormer Loft Conversion

A box-shaped extension built out from the roof slope, creating full ceiling height and significantly more floor space. The most popular type of conversion — works on most property styles and gives a proper, usable room with vertical walls.

Hip-to-Gable Conversion

Ideal for semi-detached and detached homes with a hipped roof. The sloping hip end is replaced with a vertical gable wall, dramatically increasing the usable floor area. Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum space — our most transformative conversion.

Common Questions

Loft conversion
FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning you don't need formal planning permission as long as certain limits are met. Dormer conversions to the rear of the property typically qualify. Hip-to-gable conversions and anything on a listed building or in a conservation area may need permission — we'll advise you at the survey stage and handle any applications required.
How long does a loft conversion take?
A Velux conversion typically takes 2–4 weeks. A dormer conversion is usually 4–8 weeks. A full hip-to-gable with rear dormer can take 8–12 weeks depending on the size and complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote and keep you updated throughout.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Weston-super-Mare?
Costs vary depending on the type of conversion, the size of the space and the finish you're after. As a rough guide, Velux conversions start from around £15,000–£20,000, dormer conversions from £25,000–£40,000, and hip-to-gable conversions from £35,000 upwards. We'll provide a full fixed-price quote after surveying your property.
Will I need to move out during the conversion?
In most cases, no. The majority of the structural work is done from outside and through the roof, so your home remains fully liveable throughout the build. There may be a day or two of more significant disruption but we'll always give you plenty of warning.
Do you handle everything — electrics, plumbing, plastering?
Yes — Iron & Oak manage the entire project. We have a team of trusted tradespeople including electricians, plumbers and plasterers who work alongside us on every job. You won't need to source or manage anyone separately. One point of contact, start to finish.
