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.
