Loft Conversions in East London: Create Space Without Moving

When you need more space but love your home, a loft conversion can be the perfect answer. At BBYB, we design and build loft conversions across East London—from Hackney and Leyton to Woodford, Epping, Loughton and beyond.

### Why Convert Your Loft?

A loft conversion can:

– Add a bedroom, office or studio

– Increase property value by 15–25%

– Improve insulation and energy efficiency

– Provide extra space without moving

### Types of Loft Conversions

– **Dormer:** Most common, adding head height and space.

– **Hip-to-Gable:** For end terraces and semis.

– **Mansard:** Maximum space and head height, with flat roof.

– **Velux:** Rooflights only—budget-friendly and quick.

– **L-Shaped Dormer:** For rear outrigger houses—ideal for ensuite + bedroom.

### Our Process

1. **Feasibility Survey** – Check structure, head height and access.
2. **Design & Drawings** – Layouts, elevations and 3D visuals.
3. **Planning or Permitted Development** – We advise and handle all submissions.
4. **Structural Calculations** – Steel beams, joists, and load paths.
