Project Overview
Our client in East Dulwich realised they needed more space for their growing family, they faced a choice: move away from the neighbourhood they loved or expand their current home. Loving the vibrant community and the charm of SE22, they chose to transform their house with a double hip to gable loft conversion. They reached out to NEO LOFTS, London’s leading loft conversion specialists, to make their dream a reality.
Project Description
They owned a detached house with a hipped roof on both sides, which limited their loft space. By converting both hips into gable ends, we significantly increased the loft’s volume, creating a spacious new floor. This allowed for:
•Two Large Bedrooms: Providing individual spaces for their children.
•One Modern Bathroom: Adding convenience and comfort.
•Ample Storage: Cleverly integrated to keep living areas clutter-free.
Our Approach
Local Expertise
As a local contractor familiar with the architectural styles of East Dulwich and the workings of the Southwark Council, we navigated the planning process smoothly. Our understanding of local regulations ensured that all permissions were obtained without delays.
Design and Planning
We worked closely with the Thompsons to design a layout that met their needs. By turning the hipped roof into vertical gable walls on both sides, we maximised the available space. Large windows were installed to flood the new rooms with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming environment.
Quality Construction
Our skilled team carried out the construction with meticulous attention to detail. High-quality materials were used to match the existing structure, ensuring the extension blended seamlessly with the original house.
Project Management
From start to finish, a dedicated project manager oversaw the conversion, keeping the Thompsons informed at every stage. This transparent communication built trust and allowed for any questions or concerns to be promptly addressed.
The Result
The Thompsons now enjoy a spacious home that meets their family’s needs without having to leave East Dulwich. The double hip to gable loft conversion not only provided additional bedrooms and a bathroom but also increased the property’s value significantly.
